Fruit acids are all the rage in the world of skincare – and for good reason. These potent ingredients have the potential to renew the skin, making it appear more radiant and youthful. But what exactly is behind the hype surrounding fruit acids in facial skincare products?
What are fruit acids?
Fruit acids, also known as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), are organic acids that naturally occur in various fruits. These include glycolic acid from sugar cane, lactic acid from dairy products, malic acid from apples, and citric acid from citrus fruits. These acids have exfoliating properties that can gently remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal.
Benefits of Using Fruit Acids in Skincare:
1. Exfoliating Effect: Fruit acids gently dissolve dead skin cells from the skin's surface, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
