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.

Amazing

Started using this a little over a week ago. I suffer with adult acne and my skin has been amazing since using this. Noticed smoother results after 1 use. Using this 3x per week after a cleansing gel. Finally found a skincare brand that works for me.

Great for sensitive skin

I have sensitive skin so harsh exfoliates are always a little scary. But this is gentle and feels like it freshens up my face. I use twice a week after the Hyaluronic Acid face wash and I feel squeaky clean. Stay gentle with it, it doesn't need too much work

Gentle and effective

This is a gentle but effective chemical exfoliant when used regularly. I've never had much luck with chemical exfoliators before but this is great. Expect a warm, tingling sensation when applied, and I stick to the 30 second time limit for application. Skin feels fresh, clean but not stripped and it's definitely helped my skin become clearer and brighter. If you have oily or combination skin give it a try

Surprised how much I liked this

I added this to my usual order when it was on offer. Needs using at night to avoid potential reaction UV light. I don't use it very often, as don't always wash my face at night, but love having it in for a slightly deeper exfoliation. Will def be buying again.
