They exfoliate the surface while maintaining skin hydration. Here are the main ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Glycolic acid<\/strong> : derived from sugar cane, it is highly effective thanks to its small molecular size. It improves skin texture, evens out skin tone, and regulates sebum production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lactic acid<\/strong> : obtained through fermentation, it is gentle and ideal for sensitive skin. It promotes hydration while gently exfoliating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mandelic acid<\/strong> : derived from almonds, it acts on the surface, reducing the risk of irritation. It is perfect for combating hyperpigmentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BHA: The ingredient to fight blemishes, pimples and enlarged pores!\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iR4HrXW7LaI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BHAs: allies against blemishes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), such as salicylic acid, are fat-soluble, which allows them to penetrate clogged pores. They are suitable for combination to oily skin prone to acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Salicylic acid<\/strong> : effective against blackheads and pimples, it reduces inflammation and refines skin texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PHAs: gentle exfoliation for sensitive skin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHA) have a larger molecular size, which limits their penetration into the skin. They are therefore ideal for sensitive skin or skin prone to conditions such as rosacea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lactobionic acid<\/strong> : intensely moisturizes, reduces inflammation, and prevents signs of aging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluconolactone<\/strong> : acts as an antioxidant and improves water retention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The benefits of exfoliating acids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cell renewal<\/strong> Regular exfoliation boosts skin cell renewal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Texture enhancement<\/strong> : reduction in enlarged pores and smoother skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better absorption of treatments<\/strong> : exfoliated skin
