AHA and BHA ACIDS | Resurfacing, cell renewal and smoothing

Common acid treatments often lead to drastic dryness and disruption of the hydrolipid barrier. In HDRÈY skincare, the exfoliation process is a highly controlled, intelligent resurfacing process. Our carefully calibrated complexes of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs) work simultaneously on several levels of the epidermis. They effectively dissolve the bonds between dead cells and deeply unclog sebaceous glands, while simultaneously protecting the natural microbiome from oxidative stress. This solution reduces blackheads, smooths texture, and evens out skin tone, creating a perfect, uniform "canvas." HDRÈY AHAs and BHAs are the absolute foundation of skincare—they pave the way and dramatically increase the penetration of active ingredients. Treat yourself to professional renewal in the comfort of your own home and discover skin with flawless, three-dimensional smoothness.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What are AHA and BHA acids and how do they affect the skin?

AHA and BHA acids are active substances that support the skin exfoliation process by gently dissolving bonds between dead skin cells. This reveals a fresh layer of skin, restoring natural radiance.

What is the primary difference in performance between AHA and BHA acids?

AHA acids, such as lactic or mandelic acid, are water-soluble and act primarily on the epidermal surface to smooth texture and even out tone. BHA acid (salicylic acid) is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into sebaceous gland openings to dissolve impurities and unclog pores.

Who are AHA and BHA acids designed for?

While AHA and BHA acids are commonly associated with oily complexions—where salicylic acid regulates sebum production—AHA acids also stimulate cell turnover in mature or tired skin. They smooth fine lines, brighten the complexion, and prepare the skin for enhanced absorption of hyaluronic acid or peptides.

How to properly incorporate acids into an evening skincare routine?

Acid-based skincare is best scheduled for the evening. The ritual includes: thoroughly cleansing the face with a gentle formula, restoring balance with a toner (such as Acid Control Toner), applying a serum or ampoules to prepared skin, and finishing with a hydrating face cream.

Why is it necessary to apply broad-spectrum UV protection after using acids?

Acids increase skin sensitivity to solar radiation. Consequently, completing your morning routine with high-factor UV protection is essential for preserving long-term skin health and appearance.
