Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are water-soluble acids—like lactic, glycolic, and mandelic—that gently break down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed. This speeds up skin renewal and improves texture, tone, and radiance. In AgeBiome™ rituals, biome-safe AHAs like lactic acid are used to prepare the DEJ without overstripping or irritating the skin.
Why It’s Used:
- Gently exfoliates to reveal fresher, smoother skin
- Boosts absorption of serums and bioactives
- Stimulates cellular turnover for a brighter complexion
- Prepares the DEJ for collagen and peptide infusion
- Helps reduce congestion and roughness without disrupting the biome
- Commonly used in the Reset phase of AgeBiome™ protocols
What It Means for You:
AHAs give your skin a fresh start—clearing away the dullness so your active ingredients can do their work more effectively, without compromising balance.
