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.

Nice texture!

I love this exfoliator.. it is so smooth and doesn't feel harsh on my skin at all! I have really sensitive skin and this is the best exfoliator for that! It leaves my skin feeling so fresh!

Game changer!

I got this back in October and I use it twice a week, my skin feels so smooth and looks glowing the next day! You only need a little bit so I can see this lasting me up until the Summer, the value for money here is amazing.

Works so well!

This gel is so exfoliating, after I use it as part of my nighttime routine I can feel the difference in my skin immediately. My skin always looks glowing and noticeably clearer when I wake up in the morning. A great combination of ingredients and no strong fragrance which I love. Just don't be tempted to leave on longer than is suggested because this is gel is very powerful!

Such smooth smooth skin

I've only recently started using this but can really feel the difference when all is washed off. Such smooth fresh skin. Its a delight to use this product. You don't have to use alot, on dry clean skin. Just so easy and great results. Will be recommending this to anyone that will listen

Delighted!

I've always had sensitive skin so my relationship with exfoliators has not been a positive one! But, having tried other products from Q&A I was hopeful that this would be different - and it is!!! It's not aggravated my skin at all, whilst leaving my skin feeling rejuvenated, fresh and brighter. 100% would recommend!!!!
