AHA FRUIT ACID: THE AHA MOMENT FOR YOUR SKIN
This powerful active ingredient makes your skin tingle: AHA fruit acid. It creates an AHA moment in your skincare routine by smoothing your complexion and making your skin glow. The so-called alpha hydroxy fruit acids are acids derived from a natural substance, such as sugarcane, milk, almonds, or grapes. They have a particularly stimulating effect on your skin and gently remove dead skin flakes. For good reason, this active ingredient is part of an effective skincare routine, as it is suitable for every skin type and ensures a radiant, beautiful complexion. We will explain below how you can optimally use the AHA effect in your skincare and what you should pay attention to when using skincare products containing AHA fruit acid.
THE EFFECT OF AHA FRUIT ACIDS ON YOUR SKIN
The use of the super active ingredient AHA fruit acid is an absolute must in every effective skincare routine and is hardly imaginable to be missing from today's beauty world. The AHA effect is immediately noticeable after application and creates a pleasant tingling sensation on your skin. This reaction is a good sign, as it signals the beginning of revitalization.
Your skin renews itself on average in a cycle of 28 days. During this time, the skin cells migrate to the surface of your skin layer, where they die. At this point in the skin renewal process, the powerful active ingredient comes into play: AHA fruit acids primarily act on the outermost skin layer, dissolving the dead skin cells there and freeing your skin from deposits. The active ingredient also triggers your skin to effectively stimulate the body's own cell and collagen production.
In addition, the acids are water-soluble and are ideal for improving the skin's own moisture and elasticity. AHA care products show their maximum effect when they can act on your skin over a longer period, which is why you will find our products TONE and TONE.S in the form of a liquid treatment.
The aha effect of AHA fruit acids is much more than just removing dead skin flakes and dirt particles, because this super active ingredient really packs a punch. Here you will find more convincing reasons why AHA fruit acids should be a permanent part of your skincare routine:
AHA fruit acids
- stimulate cell renewal
- promote a smooth and even complexion
- smooth and tighten your skin
- soothe your skin
- strengthen the skin barrier
- reduce skin irritations
- equalize the pH value
AHA FRUIT ACID IN CARE PRODUCTS
When it comes to skincare, AHA products provide a noticeable immediate effect on your skin, but also achieve sustainable care results with regular use. In the beauty world, you often find the super active ingredient as part of exfoliants. With AHA fruit acid-containing skincare products, the dosage and the combination of active ingredients in the respective product also matter.
AHA peels can be used on every skin type due to their versatility. Such a peel ensures that old skin flakes and dead cells are removed – thereby freeing your pores. This allows them to more easily form new cells.
AHA fruit acid also has a visible effect on your skin in our products TONE and TONE.S. If you use the active ingredient in the form of a liquid treatment, make sure it acts on your skin long enough to achieve the best possible results.
In the products of DOCTOR MI! medical skincare, the active ingredient penetrates particularly deeply into your skin thanks to the innovative TECMi!® encapsulation. This deep technology allows the AHA fruit acid in high dosage to care for your skin from within – and visible results appear after a short time.

-
Can AHA fruit acid be used for every skin type?
The active ingredient is basically suitable for every skin type. To avoid irritation and achieve the best possible results, you should adjust the concentration of the fruit acid to the needs of your skin. Use our toner TONE, it is especially gentle on your skin and achieves optimal care results thanks to its low and safe concentration. -
How often should one use skincare products with AHA?
For radiant skin, you should regularly use skincare products containing AHA. Depending on the dosage and your skin's tolerance, you can integrate the active ingredient into your daily skincare routine. You can use TONE in the morning and evening after cleansing your face. The fruit acid not only works against wrinkles, pigmentation disorders, and skin impurities but also gives your skin a natural glow. -
What should be considered when buying products containing AHA fruit acids?
When choosing AHA fruit acid-containing products, you should definitely pay attention to the concentration contained. For sensitive skin, we recommend daily use of TONE; if your skin tends to blemishes, use TONE.S.
AHA, BHA, and PHA – the essential differences and characteristics
AHA, BHA, or PHA? When it comes to purity, these acids are the key to radiant, even, and beautiful skin. They remove dead skin cells, open the pores, and ensure that other active ingredients can penetrate your skin even better. You will learn below how they differ and which acid provides a natural glow to your skin.
1. WHAT
Alpha hydroxy acids are among the most popular acids in skincare. Thanks to their water solubility, they provide a lot of moisture and give your skin elasticity. They are ideal for improving your skin texture and should be used regularly to achieve optimal results.
2. BHA
The so-called beta hydroxy acids, also known as salicylic acid, are often used to treat pimples, blackheads, and skin impurities. They are oil-soluble and can optimally penetrate clogged pores as well as reliably remove excess sebum from your skin. Thanks to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, BHAs, which are also contained in our product TONE.S, are particularly effective for acne or melasma.
3. PHASE
Polyhydroxy acids act similarly to BHAs, but are less aggressive. PHAs have the same anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties as BHAs, but due to their molecular size, they cannot penetrate your skin as deeply. The milder acid is especially suitable for sensitive skin types.
THE RIGHT FORM AND DOSAGE FOR YOUR SKIN
To achieve maximum effect, the appropriate form and dosage are crucial when using hyaluronic acid. With oligo-hyaluron, you can sustainably improve your skin's appearance because the active ingredient penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and optimally hydrates your skin. The active ingredient should be used regularly, and with well-tolerated skincare products, even daily.
SUN PROTECTION
Fruit acids are often used to treat pigmentation disorders or skin impurities. They refine the pores and ensure a smooth and even complexion. But be careful: Initially, the AHA fruit acid thins the horny layer and increases sensitivity to UV radiation. To protect your skin as best as possible, consistent sun protection is essential; use a sun protection factor of 50+.
Tip: After a fruit acid peel, your skin is still very sensitive to external influences, so you should definitely take care to protect it and, for example, avoid heavy sweating and extreme dusty work.
FRUIT ACID TREATMENT AT THE DOCTOR
A fruit acid peel is a chemical peel that primarily targets the skin surface, as it penetrates the upper horny layer of your skin. The acid dissolves the dead skin flakes and ensures a cleansed complexion. If your skin suffers from acne or rosacea, medical treatment is recommended. Here, the dosage of the acid can be adjusted to your skin condition. The peeling effect of the fruit acid peel provides an even skin surface and a fresh complexion.
