Why It's Used: Aha exfoliation is the most evidence-backed chemical exfoliation mechanism with 30+ years of clinical use data; different acid sizes allow formulators to select penetration depth and intensity for specific skin types.
How It Works: Aha carboxylic groups donate hโบ disrupting caยฒโบ coordination of desmoglein desmosomal proteins at formulation ph 3โ4, weakening corneocyte cohesion. smaller ahas (glycolic, mw 76) penetrate fastest; larger (mandelic, mw 152) penetrate slower for gentler exfoliation.
