Q: "What are AHAs? Is it suitable for all skin type?"
A: Alpha Hydroxy Acids, derived from fruit or milk sugars. They work to exfoliate the skin and promote the growth of new cells, giving a more youthful complexion. Glycolic acid comes from sugar cane, lactic acid from milk, malic acid from apples and pears, citric acid from oranges and lemons and tartaric acid from grapes.
Beware the influence of advertising. AHAs are marketed as miracle skin ingredients but they're often too harsh for sensitive skins and unneccessary for young skins. They may be exfoliating agents, but too much scraping away the upper layers of skin can leave it more exposed to environmental damage and aging.
Till then, good luck & stay flawless...
