If you’ve got acne-prone skin, you might want to try adding LHAs into your skincare arsenal…
skincare expert and chief scientific officer Eve Casha to explain everything you need to know about LHAs – plus the best formulas you might want to add to your skincare routine.“Acids are used in skincare to exfoliate the skin,” explains Casha.
Skincare acids are often broken down into two main classes: alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids . Glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid are examples of AHAs, whereas salicylic acid and citric acid are classed as BHAs. “AHAs are water-soluble compounds whereas BHAs are oil-soluble. In general, because BHAs are oil-soluble, they tend to have better penetration into the skin.”“Lipohydroxy acids are derivatives of BHAs that were designed to enhance the effectiveness of salicylic acid – a common BHA for congested skin and acne,” Casha explains.
“LHAs have been compared to salicylic acid but have shown to have greater ability to retain skin hydration,” says Casha. They’re a good alternative for those who can’t tolerate other chemical exfoliants.Any skin that suffers with uneven skin texture, flaking skin or acne could benefit from using LHAs. “Skin that is dry and has found AHAs or BHAs to be drying in the past should absolutely give LHAs a try as they may be the perfect solution.
This oil-free moisturiser is formulated with salicylic acid and lipohydroxy acid to loosen and shift dead skin that may be clogging up your pores. It also smoothens out uneven skin texture to leave skin looking brighter and balances excess oil production.
