The AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a homemade facial scrub that combines the power of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to improve skin texture, reduce pore congestion, and address uneven skin tone. This high-potency peel is a facial scrub recommended for experienced users seeking to achieve smoother, clearer skin. It contains a Tasmanian peppercorn derivative, a known anti-irritant, and is further enhanced with hyaluronic acid, provitamin B5, and black carrot.
Note: Due to its high concentration of free acids, this solution should be used with caution, especially by those with sensitive skin. It is recommended to use this product only if you have previously used acid-based exfoliants and your skin is not sensitive.
The pH of this formula is approximately 3.6.
Glycolic acid, the main AHA used in the formula, has a pKa of 3.6, which is the most important aspect to consider in formulations with acids. pKa is a measure of the degree of acidity. When the pKa is close to the pH, there is an optimal balance between salt and acidity.
