SkinMedica Products We Love: AHA/BHA Cream

As an exclusive provider of SkinMedica products, we absolutely adore this AHA/BHA Cream. It exfoliates and improves tone and texture of the skin, revealing a brighter complexion!

The Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) combined with Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) create a profound exfoliation that removes dead skin cells efficiently as well as assist fresh, young cells to the surface of the skin. Added vitamins and antioxidants nourish and protect the skin from free radical damage.

You will see improvement in texture, skin tone and a smoother appearance. Repeated use may help reduce visible fine lines and wrinkle depth.  Here’s some more detailed information directly from SkinMedica:
