AHA, stands for alpha-hydroxy acid. At Eucerin, we use the AHA Glycolic acid, which is derived from sugar cane. This peeling acid has a very small molecular size, makes skin smoother, more even and opens pores, Without compromising on barrier structures of the skin. 

It promotes exfoliation by reducing cell adhesion in the epidermis and increasing cell turnover. Furthermore it increases biosynthetic capacity of collagen and builds support structure in the dermal matrix to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

Laktaati (ehk piimhapet) leidub naha loomulikes niisutusfaktorites (NMF) ning samuti on see naha pH-d reguleeriva ja nahka kaitsva happelise kihi üks peamisi koostisaineid. See imab endasse naha pealiskihis niiskust ja säilitab seda, niisiis on laktaat naha seisukohast tähtis. Laktaat on ka komedolüütilise toimega.

Glycolic Acid is a very common chemical peel used by many dermatologists. It is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or sugarcane derivative with an extremely small molecular size. It works by removing dead skin cells to even skin texture. The concentration of Glycolic Acid used in the Skin Refining Serum is a lower concentration than what is used in dermatological treatments for softer effects.
