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.

New, different

I bought this exfoliator a month ago and the first thing I noticed (and loved) is how soft it is! I have oily skin so a lot of exfoliators are overly exfoliating and dry out my skin. They also tend to have big clumps of product that are hard on the skin. I really love this one for it's great ingredients, softness and easy use. My skin feels exfoliated without being irritated or dry afterwards.

Nice texture, skin smoother and brighter

I tried this as an alternative to body shop peel and like it. Feels gentle but regular use helping skin feel smoother and less dull.

Kind to skin

Some people are sceptical when using chemical exfoliators, but this is so kind to skin, doesnt sting or irritate in the slightest and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, I use this twice a week and have done since it was released, Im still on my first tube so excellent value for money! Will definitely recommend and carry on purchasing for myself.

Gentle exfoliator

I've been using this for the past three weeks, and I'm pretty happy with it. The recommended usage is twice a week, but I've been cleansing with it more frequently, will no ill effects, dryness or tight-skin discomfort. It seems to be working well, and a couple of brown pigment spots appear to be fading. Thank you!

Easy & effective

Instead of feeling I was "scratching" my skin with granular exfoliators, this AHA Gel is a dream to use, 20-30 seconds massage, rinse and magical results, smooth skin and no red face, fabulous price, win, win!
