An AHA/BHA body serum is designed to exfoliate body skin using active ingredients instead of physical scrubs.
AHA (alpha hydroxy acids), like glycolic and lactic acid, help remove dead skin buildup from the surface of the skin. This can improve the look of rough texture, uneven-looking tone and dullness.
BHA (beta hydroxy acid), like salicylic acid, works within pores to help clear visible congestion.
Together, they support smoother-looking, clearer-looking skin over time.
Unlike a body lotion, an AHA/BHA body serum is used as a treatment step. It is applied after cleansing and before moisturising to help target concerns that hydration alone may not address.
For body skin, leave-on exfoliation allows active ingredients to work gradually across areas like arms, legs, chest and back.
Like most skincare, consistency matters. Results build over time with regular use.
