How should I read alpha hydroxy acids on a label?
AHA is a family label used for alpha hydroxy acids. An exfoliating product needs its own directions; it is not the same as an optional plain hydrating layer.
Mind the sun warning
FDA information notes that AHA-containing cosmetics may increase sun sensitivity. Read the warning and use instructions on the actual product. Our matching system does not recommend an exfoliating step simply because a user reports dullness or wants a fuller routine.
Try this
- Identify whether the product is exfoliating.
- Read the sun-sensitivity warning and directions.
- Keep the step out of an automatic beginner plan.
