The Complete Guide to AHA BHA PHA

Are you looking for a way to improve your skin without resorting to harsh chemicals? If so, you may want to consider an AHA/BHA/PHA peel. These types of peels are gentle yet effective, and can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin.


Peels are a great choice for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin's texture and tone. BHA peels are good for those who want to reduce the appearance of pores, and PHA peels are perfect for those who want to achieve a radiant complexion.

All of these types of peels can be performed at home with a few simple ingredients, and they can help to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. AHA/BHA/PHA peel is a type of chemical peel that uses a combination ofAlpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). These ingredients work together to exfoliate the skin and help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.


Peels can be done at home or in a professional setting. If you are doing a peel at home, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. AHA/BHA/PHA peels are generally safe for most skin types, but it is always best to do a patch test on a small area of skin before using them on your face. However, it is important to test a small area of skin before using them on your face.


What it is? 

If you're like most people, you've heard of the names "AHA", "BHA", and "PHA" but are still a little confused about what these terms mean. You're probably also unsure of how to use each one properly. Let's start with what they stand for: AHA stands for alpha hydroxy acids, BHA is beta hydroxy acids, and PHA is polyhydroxy acids.

The first thing to know about all three of these ingredients is that they're all gentle exfoliants that won't strip or irritate your skin when used correctly (and in proper concentrations). That said, each exfoliant has distinct benefits that make it unique. Have you ever been to a spa, and they offer you a facial? It's pretty much what it sounds like—a facial, with other things added to it, like steam, or a massage. But then there's also this thing called "peeling," which is where you rub the skin off of your face. This does a couple of things: It makes your skin look amazing because it's all gone and smooth, but it also makes your pores smaller so that dirt can't get stuck in them. 

And now we're here to tell you about peel-infused skincare products. They work exactly like facials and massages do: by making your pores smaller and removing dead skin cells from your face, they help keep dirt out of your pores so that those pesky pimples stay away! But these products contain ingredients that actually work on your skin—including AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) and PHAs (poly hydroxy acids) which help exfoliate dead cells. 

The Benefits

The benefits of the AHA BHA Peel include:

  • Skin texture improvement
  • Acne reduction
  • Wrinkle reduction
  • Hyperpigmentation removal (brown spots)
  • Dryness alleviation
  • They help you get rid of acne scars and blemishes in one step! This is because they exfoliate the dead skin cells on your face so that they can be sloughed off in one go—no need for multiple applications or treatments (like creams) since they're already being removed by the peel itself.
  • They help hydrate your skin while getting rid of all the dead skins cells at once—so it won't take as long to heal up! This means less time spent waiting around for your face to heal up because it's been cleared out so much quicker than usual.

How to use it

To use the ABP Peel, apply it to clean, dry skin. Gently massage for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining residue and follow with moisturizer if desired.

This is a very gentle peel.

This is a very mild peel and is gentle enough to use if you are just starting out with peeling and have sensitive skin, or if you have acne. This product works great on all skin types and is especially good for people who already have great results from glycolic acid products.

There are a few things to consider when using peel-infused skincare products:


  1. Make sure you're using the right product for your skin type. In general, there are three types of peels: milder AHA peels (like glycolic) that are good for treating hyperpigmentation; stronger BHA peels (like salicylic acid); and medium-strength AHA/BHA peels (like lactic acid). They all work differently from each other in terms of strength, effectiveness, and side effects. You'll want to talk with your dermatologist about which kind is most appropriate for your situation.

  1. Take care when applying these products to avoid irritation or allergy reactions

We all have a different skin type and the right product for your skin type can make all the difference in how you look, feel and age. The concept of peel-infused skincare products started with a simple idea—to use a small amount of high-quality ingredients to create a luxurious experience for your skin. Peel-infused products help your skin repair itself, which means more glow and less aging!
