Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are very effective for hyperpigmentation, they help exfoliate the skin, promotes turnover and fade dark spots over time.
Glycolic acid and lactic acid are two of the best AHAs for hyperpigmentation.
Glycolic acid, has smaller molecules, allowing it to penetrate the skin deeply and effectively exfoliate. Glycolic acid brightens skin by exfoliating dead skin cells, revealing newer, brighter skin underneath. It also helps reduce hyperpigmentation by promoting cell turnover and fading dark spots. Additionally, glycolic acid stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion.
Lactic acid, Lactic acid benefits the skin by gently exfoliating, which can improve skin texture and tone. It also has hydrating properties, helping the skin retain moisture and appear plump. Also lactic acid can stimulate collagen production, which can improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Using AHAs consistently, combined with sun protection, can help improve hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone.
