🔬 How It Actually Works
An AHA derived from bitter almonds. It has a much larger molecule size than Glycolic acid, so it penetrates the skin very slowly, meaning zero stinging.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Gently exfoliates, clears pores (it is uniquely oil-soluble for an AHA), and is highly effective for darker skin tones prone to pigmentation.
💡 Pro Tip
If Glycolic or Lactic acid burns your skin, this is your safest bet for chemical exfoliation.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
Gentle means it doesn't work as well.
The Science
It achieves the exact same results as stronger acids, it just takes a little longer to get there without the collateral damage.
