Description

Exfoliate is a triple acid formula containing AHA, BHA and PHA which provides an in home exfoliation and brightening experience. It also had deeply moisturizing ingredients that soothe and hydrate the skin.  The addition of a natural plant extract i.e Silymarin and tranexamic acid helps control dark spots and pigmentation damage. 

AHA/ BHA/ PHA

Silymarin and Triple Acid Complex (STAC complex - AHA+BHA+PHA) 

The Triple acid complex combined with Silymarin in EXFOLIATE offers a potent combination to target uneven skin tone, texture and stubborn pigmentation. 

While we all know that AHA’s are glycolic acid and Lactic acid and BHA’s are salicylic acid. The glycolic acid helps in brightening, decreases pigmentary marks and helps in mild exfoliation, while the salicylic acid is sebostatic (decreases the oil) and also anti-inflammatory, thereby decreasing the red marks post acne. 

Finally coming to the PHA or gluconolactone in EXFOLIATE, this is an acid for individuals with sensitive skin and when all three are combined at reasonable concentrations they give an even better outcome. Moreover, for you pigmentation to further improve we have added silymarin (Silybum marinum fruit extract) for that extra edge along with bakuchiol and tranexamic acid. Addition of all these helps in targeting differing pathways of pigmentation. 

 

Common FAQs about AHA and BHA:

  • Can I use AHA and BHA together? : Sure you can, you can use both in your routine, and they may be used separately or together in a single product such as EXFOLIATE. They in fact work in synergism, one brightens and the other reduces the oil and they also act as penetration enhancers for other actives. 
  • What are some common AHA ingredients? : Glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid. 
  • What is the most common BHA ingredient? : Salicylic acid 
  • Should I be concerned about irritation? : If used frequently, on dry skin, with retinol, or in very high concentrations AHA and BHA’s maybe irritating for some individuals. If you feel you have sensitive skin or excessively dry skin you may consult your dermatologist prior. 
  • How often should I use AHA/BHA products? : For sensitive skin, start with once or twice a week, or start with a polyhydroxy acid and further adjust based on your skin's tolerance. 
  • Do I need to use sunscreen when using AHA/BHA? : Yes, sunscreen usage is crucial with any exfoliating agents. Usage of NOURISH SPF with EXFOLIATE will provide you adequate coverage and hydration. 
  • What are the potential side effects of using AHA/BHA? : Redness, irritation, dryness, stinging, and increased sun sensitivity. 
  • What are PHA’s?

Polyhydroxy acids such as gluconolactone or lactobionic acid are agents for those with sensitive skin or figure as starting point for those who want to consider using AHA and BHA’s later on but feel they want to start with something very mild, hydrating and subtle for the skin. 

  • Can you combine AHA/ BHA and PHA’s?yes, you can albeit in a good and stable formulation with the right concentrations (TFP EXFOLIATE). If used well this can provide a beautiful effect for your skin, in improving tone and texture.
