Re: Quick Alpha Hydroxy Acid question

AHA products cause exfoliation, or shedding of the surface skin
Normally dead cells flake off to make room for the living cells that are constantly rising to the skins surface. This usually takes 28-30 days, AHA products can speed up the exfoliation process by dissolving the cellular "cement" that binds dead cells together. Using an AHA product is somewhat like a chemical peel. Therefore making the skin very sensitive to VU light.

Personal when it comes to AHA’s I would not use a product like Jergin’s because of the other ingredients such as petroleum, and don’t get me started on the parabens.
