Improves acne-prone skin, reduces the appearance of pores and blemishes, moisturizes and mattifies the skin!

AHA 5% acid complex effectively but gently regulates the process of exfoliation of the epidermis, which is an essential part of acne skin care.

Excessive keratinization of the follicle mouths leads to their suppuration and the formation of anaerobic conditions, optimal for the excessive proliferation of C.acnes bacteria. This is one of the main causes of acne. The use of products that regulate the process of exfoliation of the epidermis allows unblocking the outlet of the hair and sebaceous unit and normalizes sebum production. The structure of the skin becomes smoothed, and the visibility of acne blemishes is reduced.

The optimal concentration of AHA acids makes the regulation of keratinization both effective and safe for problematic skin. As a result, the skin is not prone to redness, pinching or dryness.

Key ingredients:

- Lactic acid (AHA) - Belongs to the group of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). Naturally present in milk, in human skin lactic acid (in the form of sodium lactate) is part of the NMF-natural moisturizing complex. Used as an active ingredient in cosmetics in low concentrations, it is considered an excellent moisturizer. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, which leads to the lightening of hyperpigmentation and equalization of skin tone. This acid also has an antibacterial effect.

- Malic acid (AHA) - Naturally found in many fruits. It belongs to the group of AHA acids, which are valued active substances used in both dermatology and cosmetology for acne and imperfections, seborrhea, scars, melasma and other hyperpigmentation, as well as for improving the condition of aging skin. When used in low concentrations, it has moisturizing, brightening hyperpigmentation (including acne) and firming properties, while in high concentrations it has exfoliating and softening properties.

- Shikimic acid (AHA) - Hydroxy acid extracted from star anise Illicium verum. Improves skin hydration and makes it soft and supple. Does not cause redness and dryness of the skin.Thanks to its antimicrobial and exfoliating properties, it is ideal for acne skin care. It promotes excessive keratinization of the epidermis, unblocks the sebaceous gland outlets, and reduces the proliferation of microorganisms.

- Gallic acid diglucosyl - A derivative of gallic acid, belonging to the phenolic acid group, with improved stability and bioavailability. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antifungal properties have been confirmed. The effects of diglucosyl gallic acid that we can observe on the skin are the reduction of acne discoloration, unification of skin tone, reduction of erythema, as well as reduction of the appearance of pores.

- Lactobionic acid - It is included in the polyhydroxy acids (PHA) group. The effect of lactobionic acid on the skin is similar to that of AHA acids, but due to the structure of the molecule, it has a milder effect and does not cause irritation or redness. It shows excellent moisturizing and antioxidant properties.

- Hyaluronic acid - Intensely moisturizes and reduces water loss through the epidermis. Increases skin hydration, promotes skin regeneration and also has anti-aging effects. Creates a moist compress that reduces the feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin.

- Panthenol - A substance that soothes skin irritation and accelerates skin regeneration. Reduces skin dryness, which can be a common problem for sensitive skin with imperfections.

FAQ

What is the difference between AcneSerum AHA 5% Solve On and Glow On Liquid Exfoliating Serum?
Glow On Liquid Exfoliating Serum contains 2% salicylic acid and ingredients with a soothing effect. Its action is mainly based on mild exfoliation of the epidermis and thus improving skin tone. It has a comedolytic effect and is helpful in the treatment of blackheaded acne skins. On the other hand, AcneSerum Facial AHA 5% Solve On is designed to support the improvement of acne-prone skin with imperfections. The composition of 4 AHA acids, diglucosyl gallic acid, moisturizing and soothing ingredients improve keratinization, regulate sebaceous glands, improve skin tone and texture. These products work complementarily, but it is recommended to use them interchangeably.

How often can I use AcneSerum?
We recommend using AcneSerum for Face AHA 5% 3-4 times a week, depending on the condition and needs of the skin. If we exfoliate the skin too often, the skin will react with dryness, irritation, moreover, it will be more prone to inflammation.

Can I experience redness, pinching or dryness of the skin after using AcneSerum?
When used 3-4 times a week as recommended, AcneSerum for Face AHA 5% does not cause redness, pinching or dryness of the skin. There may be a brief tingling sensation, which is characteristic of products containing hydroxy acids. Remember that the skin's reaction to this type of product depends on its condition and degree of sensitivity.  Adjust the frequency of application to the condition and needs of your skin. If you experience irritation (redness, pinching, significant dryness and peeling), discontinue use.
Perform an allergy test before the first application, especially if you have never used products containing hydroxy acids before.

When using AcneSerum at night, do I need to use phototherapy for the day?
Regardless of your current skin care regimen, you should use year-round photoprotection. This is especially important if you use a product containing hydroxy acids, which thins the epidermal barrier, making the skin more susceptible to hyperpigmentation.

Can I combine the use of AcneSerum with products containing retinol?
It is not recommended to use AcneSerum for AHA 5% face immediately before/after the application of retinoid-containing products.

Can I combine the use of AcneSerum with products containing BHA acids?
It is not recommended to combine products with AHA acids immediately before/after the application of products containing AHA and BHA acids.

Can I use AHA acids while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There are no contraindications to the use of AcneSerum for Face AHA 5% in pregnant or lactating women - the product formulation was composed so that the exfoliation process of the epidermis is effective, but gentle. Remember, however, that during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the skin may be more reactive to the active substances contained in cosmetics, and exfoliation may further sensitize it.

Why is AcneSerum a fragrance-free product?
The lack of fragrance in such a specialized product as AcneSerum for Face AHA 5% minimizes the potential risk of skin irritation. Acne-prone skin is often externally sensitive skin.

Can AHA acids be used in the summer?
You can use products with AHA acids in the summer, but you should remember about photoprotection, i.e. applying creams with UV filters and reapplying during the day, avoiding direct skin exposure to the sun, hats, etc. Products with acids should be used in evening care.
