A: The SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cream is a dual-action exfoliator that combines alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to gently exfoliate the skin's surface and unclog pores. This combination helps in improving skin texture enhancing skin brightness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use promotes smoother clearer and more youthful-looking skin. Q: How do AHAs and BHAs in this cream work? A: AHAs such as lactic and glycolic acid work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells on the skin's surface allowing them to be sloughed away more easily revealing fresher brighter skin. BHAs like salicylic acid penetrate deeper into the pores to help clear out excess oil and dead skin cells making them particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin. Q: Is the SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cream suitable for all skin types? A: This cream is suitable for most skin types but it is particularly beneficial for those with normal to combination skin. However individuals with very sensitive skin or certain skin conditions should use caution as AHAs and BHAs can be irritating to some skin types. It's recommended to start with less frequent application and gradually increase as the skin adapts. Q: How should this product be used in a skincare routine? A: Apply the SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cream after cleansing and toning. It can be used once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance. Because AHAs and BHAs increase sun sensitivity it's essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day while using this product. Q: Can the SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cream be used in conjunction with other skincare products? A: Yes it can be used as part of a comprehensive skincare routine but should be combined with caution when using other exfoliating products or those with active ingredients like retinol to avoid over-irritation. Always allow sufficient time for the product to absorb before applying additional products and monitor your skin's response to adjust usage as needed.
