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.

Lovely

This chemical exfoliator gives you the results of other brands without the effects. Somehow this formula is both gentle and effective, my skin feels brighter and more even after use. I just adore Q+As packaging too.

Hyperpigmentation Miracle

As a black girl with ALOT of hyperpigmentation but sensitive skin, I struggled to find an exfoliant which was gentle enough for my skin but powerful enough to reduce the darkness around my mouth. Since I used this product, Ive seen dramatic reduction in the dark circles and also less dead skin building up. I have a pretty basic skincare routine - ( I only use 5 products) and I also am not sure if this is the intention of the product which I assume it is because of the brightening qualities but either way a really good AHA (with a decent amount of product

I took the Q&A test to find recommendations for my skin type and I decided to try this one out. Wasn't disappointed! My skin is clearer, dark spots already started to disappear, it's everything I was looking for. Great product!

Makes my skin feel amazing

I really really like this, its a gel so I don't accidentally squeeze too much out at once, it exfoliates really nicely without making my skin feel raw and leaves my face nice and bright!
