Unleash the Power of Fruit Acids

Looking for natural ways to give your skin a glow-up?

If so, you've likely heard whispers about the beauty powerhouse that is fruit acids.

In the skincare universe, fruit acids are the shining stars, gaining popularity for their transformative effects on our skin.

They're the skin's best friends, helping to gently exfoliate, boost cell renewal, and brighten our complexions by reducing pigmentation spots and scars.

Let's dive into the fruity world of skin care, exploring different types of fruit acids, their benefits, and how to make them a part of your daily skincare routine.

Understanding the Different Types of Fruit Acids

Meet the three musketeers of fruit acids: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA), and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA).

Each of these warriors has unique superpowers that work wonders on your skin.

  • AHA: Alpha Hydroxy Acids are like friendly neighborhood superheroes, born out of fruit ingredients. They work on the surface of your skin, helping it shed dead cells, promoting cell renewal, and reducing dark spots and scars. AHAs also have a knack for improving skin hydration and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Some of the popular members of this superhero team are glycolic acid, lactic acid, and malic acid. Each of them has their own strengths and is suited for different skin types.

  • BHA: Beta Hydroxy Acids, though also fruit acids, have a different modus operandi. Being oil-soluble, they go deep into the pores to evict excess oil, making them excellent for handling acne and blackheads. Salicylic acid is a popular BHA, often found fighting acne in various skincare products. It's a great anti-inflammatory agent that exfoliates pores and removes dead skin cells.

  • PHA: Polyhydroxy Acids are the new kids on the block but are quickly becoming skincare favorites. Thanks to their larger molecular structure, they take their time to penetrate the skin, offering a gentler exfoliation and hydration. They're the friendly giants of fruit acids, causing less irritation than AHA/BHA and protecting the skin from free radicals without causing any trouble. The most common PHAs are gluconolactone and phenyl lactobionate.

The Perfect Fruit Acid for Your Skin Type

Now, you might be wondering, 'Which fruit acid is the perfect match for my skin?'

Here's the good news. Much like finding the perfect shoe size, there's a fruit acid for every skin type.

Here's a quick guide to help you find your skin's soulmate in the world of fruit acids:

  • Sensitive and Dry Skin: Is your skin more sensitive and dry? Lactic acid is your go-to guy. Gentler than glycolic acid, it helps exfoliate your skin and improve hydration, making it an excellent choice for mature and sensitive skin.
  • Non-Sensitive Skin: But what if your skin is a little tougher, like a seasoned warrior? Glycolic acid is your match. Ideal for mature skin that's not too sensitive, it helps stimulate cell renewal and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Combination to Oily Skin: If your skin is a mixed bag or tends towards the oily side, Malic acid is a versatile option. It helps remove excess oil from the skin while stimulating cell turnover and reducing dark spots.
  • Oily, Acne-Prone Skin: Does your skin have an oily nature and a knack for acne? Salicylic acid is a popular choice for such skin. It goes deep into skin pores to remove impurities and excess oil, reducing inflammation and the appearance of large pores.
  • Very Sensitive Skin: If your skin is super sensitive, PHAs are your best bet. These friendly giants are milder than AHAs and BHAs and can gently exfoliate and hydrate your skin.

Incorporating Fruit Acids into Your Skincare Routine

Now that you've found your skin's fruit acid soulmate, you might be eager to include it in your skincare routine. But hold your horses! 

You don't want to rush things. Start slowly and gradually increase the frequency of use so your skin can become used to the acids.

Because fruit acids can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, you need to protect your skin. Apply sunscreen every day––even if you're not planning to step outside.

Here at Kadalys, we offer fruit acids our exfoliator and our toner. Let's take a closer look at these:

Organic Exfoliating Peel

Imagine a mask that works in three wonderful ways. That's what our Organic Exfoliating Peel offers. It's a joyous blend of Green Banana Bio-Active, Arginine, and Jojoba Microbeads that work in harmony to provide both enzymatic and mechanical exfoliation. Its luxuriously creamy and iridescent texture gently sweeps away the day's grime and dead skin cells, refining your skin's texture and breathing life into new cell growth.

Peek into the INCI list, and you'll spot "CITRUS MEDICA LIMONIUM (LEMON) FRUIT EXTRACT" and "VACCINIUM MYRTILLUS (BILBERRY) EXTRACT", which are our secret fruit acid ingredients. AHAs within these extracts encourage cell turnover and restore your skin's springy youthfulness, while arginine works behind the scenes to speed up healing and lavish your skin with moisture. Make a date with this exfoliating peel once or twice a week, letting it work its magic for up to 10 or even 15 minutes, depending on how your skin feels.

Organic Clarifying Toner

Let's talk about the perfect way to wrap up your skin's cleansing routine. Our Organic Clarifying Toner is the grand finale that your skin deserves. It eliminates any last traces of impurities without being harsh on your skin. This toner is a cocktail of Bio-active Green Banana, Lemon Water, and Lactic Acid that brings a unified glow to your complexion.

Lemon water, rich in citric acid––an AHA––gently exfoliates your skin. Its vitamin C content––a renowned antioxidant––lights up your skin from within, helping to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid, another AHA superstar found in certain fruits, takes the role of a natural exfoliant. It encourages cell renewal, all while preserving your skin's hydrolipidic film.

When the sun sets, grace your face with a few drops of this refreshing toner. Tap it lightly onto your skin until it's fully absorbed, preparing your skin for a beautiful tomorrow.
