Malic Acid
What is Malic Acid?
It’s an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is made from all living organisms. For skincare, it’s extracted from fruits and vegetables, mostly apples.
What will it do?
It’s an ingredient that helps improve the texture of your skin and reducing fine line and wrinkles. This ingredient helps exfoliate the dead skin cells as well as pore clogging dirt and oil. This magical ingredient also helps with collagen production and improves the elasticity within our skin. If you’re looking for evening out your skin tone, look for this ingredient in products as it helps decrease the production of melanin. When ingested, it increases the immune systems and helps balance internal pH levels in the body.
Ingredient Tip
With any sort of AHA product you need to make sure you’re using SPF, as it makes your skin very sensitive to sunlight. Also introduce products using this ingredient slowly into your routine.
