LHA (Lipo Hydroxy Acid)
LHA exfoliates the skin by gently dissolving dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting cell turnover, resulting in a brighter complexion. LHA has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help to treat acne and prevent breakouts by reducing inflammation, controlling excess oil production, and targeting acne-causing bacteria. LHA is less irritating than traditional alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), making it suitable for sensitive skin types and those prone to irritation or redness. Regular use of LHA can help improve skin texture by refining pores, smoothing rough patches, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. LHA helps to even out skin tone and diminish dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more luminous skin.
Ingredients that pair well with LHA:
- Hydration: Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid
- Barrier Repair: Ceramides
- Skin Calming / Anti-Inflammatory: Panthenol
- Anti-Aging: Niacinamide
- Skin Repair: Beta-Glucan
Not-Ideal Pairings:
Other exfoliating acids such as BHA layered together
๐ก Why: LHA is gentle but cumulative exfoliation still stresses the barrier.
