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.

Gentle Exfoliator!

The most gentle AHA you'll find for sensitive skin. And you'll see results after a couple of weeks. Some of my acne marks have faded and also this prevented some of my break outs as well.

Love love love!

I bought this about 2 months ago and its a game changer! I have really dry skin and eczema, so buying cleansers is a challenge. I eventually decided on trying the chemical cleanser route rather than physical cleanser, and I am not going back! The product is super effective, not painful, and its overall great!

Pleasure and efficiently

I absolutely love this exfoliating gel. I bought it last month and it's "un coup de cur", it gives a smooth and bright skin. Perfect for my normale and sensitive skin who love soft exfolianting and I love the gel texture which is novel and gentle. I recommand it !

Amazing exfoliator!

I can't rave about this product enough, I have used a couple of times a week for a month and I am so so happy with how it has changed my skin! I didn't think it would work as much as it has done, my skin is looks and feels smoother and my visible pores are noticeably reduced - 10/10!

Amazing for sensitive skin

I have very sensitive and dry skin. I also suffer from eczema, and I believe you are not suppose to use chemical exfoliators on such skin. But what was I supposed to do, since physical exfoliation would be even more damaging? I really needed an exfoliator, like REALLY, and chose to give this one a go. Have been using it for a month now, once a week, and it has been great so far. I am very careful not to exceed suggested 20-30 seconds. I have seen immediate results, and honestly, my skin has never been so soft and glowing. Definitely recommend this product to other people with sensitive skin, as this exfoliator is as gentle as it gets!
