Alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs, which are extracted from plants and animals, help exfoliate your skin. Some anti-ageing products like serums and toner creams also contain AHAs.

Benefits of AHAs 

• We discussed earlier that it helps exfoliate your skin by removing the dead cells. The removal of dead cells allows new cells to grow and ensures the skin free of wrinkles, age spots and acne.
• It helps brighten your skin when it used in citric acid (a form of AHA)
• Collagen is a protein-rich fibre that provides smooth and plump skin. As we age or due to sun, the collagen fibre breaks down and makes the skin fade and sagging skin. When we apply AHA, it boosts collagen production which helps the skin in many ways.
• AHAs act as anti-ageing agents by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
• It reduces the pale and dull complexion and provides glowing and healthy skin by increasing the flow of blood.
