Chemical exfoliation has become one of the most effective skincare steps. If in the past acids were perceived as intense treatments used occasionally, today dermatologists and skincare specialists integrate them into a balanced routine adapted to the skin type, its sensitivity and the season.
When used correctly, formulas with AHA, BHA or enzymes help remove dead skin cells, even out the skin texture and restore the natural radiance of the complexion. The key is choosing the right products and maintaining a balance between exfoliation and protecting the skin barrier.
Gentle exfoliation for sensitive skin
For women who want gentle exfoliation or have sensitive skin, Dr Irena Eris Cleanology Gentle Enzymatic Peel offers an effective solution without the risk of irritation. This cleansing peel uses exfoliating enzymes that gently break down the proteins in dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, without abrasive particles. The process is milder than mechanical exfoliation and helps smooth the skin texture and restore a fresh and radiant appearance.
The formula is complemented by soothing and hydrating ingredients that maintain skin comfort and support the balance of the skin barrier. The result is smoother, cleaner and visibly revitalized skin without the feeling of irritation.
Acid serums for overnight skin renewal
In the evening routine, chemical exfoliation can support the skin’s natural regeneration processes. KORA Organics Noni Night AHA Resurfacing Serum is designed exactly for this type of use. The serum contains plant derived AHA acids that accelerate the cellular renewal process and help reduce the appearance of dull skin. These acids gently exfoliate the superficial layer of the epidermis, contributing to a more even texture and visibly brighter skin.
Hyaluronic acid also plays an essential role, an ingredient recognized for its ability to attract and retain water in the skin. It helps maintain hydration throughout the night and supports skin comfort during the exfoliation process.
The iconic ingredient of the range, noni extract, is rich in antioxidants and nutrients that help protect the skin against oxidative stress and support a healthy and balanced appearance.
A facial effect at home in just a few minutes
For moments when the skin needs a quick boost of radiance, Ole Henriksen Transform Dewtopia 25% Acid Flash Facial offers the effect of a professional treatment performed at home.
The mask contains a complex of AHA, PHA and BHA, each type of acid having a specific role in exfoliation.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) exfoliate the surface of the skin and improve texture and radiance.
BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) penetrates the pores and helps remove excess sebum.
PHA (Polyhydroxy Acids) provide a gentler exfoliation and are also suitable for sensitive skin.
This combination helps quickly remove dead skin cells, refine the skin texture and even out the complexion. At the same time, the formula includes soothing and hydrating ingredients that maintain skin comfort and reduce the risk of dryness or irritation.
The balance that makes acid exfoliation truly effective
Skincare specialists emphasize that exfoliation with acids works best when integrated into a balanced routine. After using exfoliating products, the skin needs hydration, repairing ingredients and daily sun protection.
An SPF applied in the morning is essential to protect freshly exfoliated skin and to prevent hyperpigmentation.
When exfoliation is carried out with suitable products and with respect for the needs of the skin, acids become one of the most effective tools for smooth, radiant and healthy skin.
