Everything you need to know about Q+A Apple AHA Exfoliating Gel

Overview

What it is

The Apple AHA Exfoliating Gel is a skincare product formulated with a blend of alpha hydroxy acids including Malic Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and extracts from apple fruit. The product is designed to gently exfoliate the skin surface, promoting a smoother and more radiant appearance.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Malic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Lactic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Glycolic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract - skin conditioning
  • Panthenol - moisturizing agent
  • Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice Powder - soothing agent
  • Allantoin - soothing agent
  • Succinoglycan - thickening agent

How it works

The Apple AHA Exfoliating Gel is formulated to enhance skin texture and radiance through mild exfoliation. Malic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Glycolic Acid are key alpha hydroxy acids that work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating their removal and promoting a smoother skin surface. Apple Fruit Extract is included to condition the skin, providing vitamins and nutrients. Panthenol acts as a moisturizing component to maintain skin hydration, while Aloe Vera and Allantoin offer soothing properties that help calm the skin. Succinoglycan contributes to the gel's consistency, aiding in even application. The combination of these ingredients appears to support smoother, brighter-looking skin through regular use.

Absolutely love this!

I've been using this 2-3 times a week for a few weeks now and it really perks my 50 year old skin up in the morning. It has a great texture and applies well, doesn't strip my skin of oils but gives it a lovely glow.

Nice Texture

I really wanted to love this as I love that it's a gel texture exfoliator but sadly I couldn't continue use on my face due to sensitivity, however I used this as a chest/arm wash for acne and it really helped!

Great but not as scented

Great affordable exfoliator, but I wish it smelled more like apple, I want a full sensory experience.

Perfect for sensitive skin

My skin doesn't really get in well with AHA but this one is different! I think because it's a wash off formula it does not irritate my skin but it leaves it incredibly smooth. Love it!
