What is fruit acid? What are the ingredients of fruit acid?

Fruit acid is not common in our daily life, but it is indispensable in the beauty industry. Today we will learn about what fruit acid is and what ingredients it contains. I hope the editor can help you.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), as the name implies, is a variety of organic acids extracted from fruits. It is an effective ingredient found in many natural fruits or yogurts. It includes grape acid, malic acid, citrus acid and lactic acid. Because most of them are extracted from fruits, they are called fruit acids. Among them, glycolic acid extracted from sugarcane is the most widely used.

According to their molecular structures, fruit acids can be divided into 37 types: glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, etc. In the medical beauty industry, glycolic acid and lactic acid are the most commonly used. Glycolic acid is the easiest fruit acid to penetrate into the surface layer of the skin, so the effect of skin absorption is also the most obvious, so glycolic acid is most commonly used in fruit acid skin care. Lactic acid is the second smallest molecular weight among fruit acids. Because of its strong moisturizing effect and natural ingredients that do not irritate human skin, it is widely used to improve dry and peeling skin. However, at high concentrations, tartaric acid is the fastest fruit acid to loosen and peel the skin, followed by glycolic acid and lactic acid. If it is used to promote cell metabolism, lactic acid has the best effect, followed by glycolic acid.

1. In terms of epidermal and pigment effects, fruit acid can avoid abnormal keratin accumulation, promote the activation and renewal of epidermal cells, reduce melanin production, and fruit acid molecules have good moisturizing ability, so it is a very good treatment for acne.

2. Fruit acid peeling can not only accelerate the relief of acne inflammatory lesions, but also help remove acne and fade acne spots and acne scars.

3. In terms of dermal effects, fruit acid can promote collagen production, and is also helpful for the renewal of elastic fibers and the formation of base materials. In addition, it has its own antioxidant ability, so it is effective in preventing skin aging and reducing fine wrinkles. However, experience shows that it is still most effective in treating oily acne skin.

Because fruit acid is very good for human skin, the price of fruit acid skin peeling in the market is very high, generally in the price range of 2000-15000.
