Everything you need to know about Q+A AHA Exfoliator Body Scrub

Overview

What it is

The product is a body scrub formulated with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) such as lactic acid and glycolic acid, along with physical exfoliants. It's designed to improve skin texture by removing dead skin cells, potentially leaving the skin feeling smoother and hydrated. It is presented in a creamy base, providing an exfoliating experience while aiming to maintain a moisturized feel.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Lactic Acid - exfoliant
  • Glycolic Acid - exfoliant
  • Zea Mays (Corn) Cob Powder - physical exfoliant
  • Glycerin - moisturizing agent
  • Cetearyl Alcohol - emulsifier
  • Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - skin conditioning agent
  • Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Oil - skin conditioning agent
  • Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - skin conditioning agent

How it works

This body scrub utilizes both chemical and physical exfoliants to enhance skin texture. Lactic acid and glycolic acid serve to chemically exfoliate by dissolving dead skin cells, allowing fresher skin to emerge. Zea Mays (Corn) Cob Powder acts as a physical exfoliant, providing a mild abrasive action to remove dry and flaky areas. Glycerin retains moisture in the skin, ensuring it stays hydrated. The inclusion of emollients like sunflower seed oil, sea buckthorn fruit oil, and jojoba seed oil helps to enhance skin softness and overall condition. Together, these ingredients aim to leave the skin feeling smoother and supple without the use of harsh chemicals.

Gentle and Hydrating

I really love the feel of a physical exfoliator and the granules in this exfoliator feel really gentle on the skin. It has a much creamier base than most other exfoliators I've used in the past and skin feels lovely and soft after a shower. I wasn't crazy about the smell but it wasn't a huge problem as it gets rinsed off in the shower and I put on the Q + A Vitamin C body cream after, which smells amazing!
