About this deal

PHA toner can be used every day, however we advise to build up usage gradually from 1-2 days to 3-4 days etc. Oil soluble, BHA is great at clearing pores of sebum and dirt without manual exfoliation. Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid for added hydration our BHA will help to reveal a brighter, hydrated and more even complexion. CAN I USE IT WHEN PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?Yes! You can safely use it when pregnant or breastfeeding. Your guide to pregnancy safe skincare >

Today, we’re breaking down the differences between Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA). Neither one is better than the other, rather it’s all about determining which one is best suited for your skin type. So let’s dive into what each acid is and how it works. This change was largely led by you, the customers, who called out for more transparency about where their products come from, and how they are tested.First thing's first, what exactly are BHAs? Although the science-y term may sound intimidating, BHA stands for beta-hydroxy acid and includes the likes of salicylic acid in its family. Take an individualised approach, as it depends on a few things including your skin type, individual lifestyle, how much makeup you wear, and the strength of the BHA-based product. Everybody's skin is unique,” says Dr Veraitch.

When adding new products to your skincare routine, we always recommend patch testing. Learn more here. Dry skin needs – you guessed it – serious hydration. Taking things to the next level, Polyglutamic Acid is able to hold up to four times more moisture than Hyaluronic Acid. Slather this on in the morning and seal the serum in with 10% urea – another hydration hero. PM AT WHICH POINT IN THE ROUTINE DO I USE BHA SERUM?This BHA Serum is part of the ‘Treat’ step and would be applied after No, apply this on before you wash your hair (either on wet or dry scalp), leave on for 10 minutes, and then wash off and wash hair afterwards. Although BHA has been a buzzword in skincare for a while now, you might be wondering what it actually means?

HOW OFTEN CAN I USE BHA SERUM?You can use BHA Serum daily in the PM, however if you have dry or sensitive skin we’d recommend to use 1-3 times per week, in the PM. The first time I tried it, I used it as a spot treatment and my pimples took forever to disappear. So, I found myself using it multiple times in between my routines. Eventually I had to use it all over my face hoping to wake up the next day with less pimples. Beta Hydroxy Acid serum is a great choice for oilier skin as its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties can help calm breakout prone skin without any burning or tingling sensation. Thanks to added 1% Hyaluronic Acid, our BHA serum is non-drying to skin. Get the top-line info on the front of the (recyclable cardboard) box, or open it out to find a deeper dive printed inside. Clever eh? Acne can be a complicated and multilayered skin condition and unfortunately no one ingredient can solve it right away (trust us, we wish we could say it could). While a BHA exfoliant likely won't make blemishes vanish overnight, a good one will help set you on the right path.

Known for its exfoliating properties, Salicylic Acid helps to slough off dead skin cells, reduce oil levels and remove impurities from the surface of the scalp. The addition of FLUIDIPURE™ 8G and PANTHENOL delivers extra hydration and moisturization benefits to help soothe and calm while visibly reducing the appearance of redness on the scalp. ​Each product in The Inkey List family is based around a single ingredient, making it easier to ascertain exactly what you’re putting on your skin.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the beauty industry, with a huge push towards sustainable, cruelty-free and vegan products.If your interest has been piqued and you want to learn more about this no-frills brand, scroll down to discover everything there is to know about The Inkey List, as well as the other products to shop depending on your skin type. Now that we’ve defined AHA and BHA, we know that choosing which one to use depends on your skin type and your skin goals. But how about layering them? Can you use them together and if so, what’s the best way to use both in your routine? Although AHAs and BHAs are similar in that they both work to exfoliate via active ingredients, it’s worth noting the differences. AHAs are water-soluble so tend to work on the surface of the skin, whereas BHA is oil-soluble, meaning it can get deeper into the skin to dissolve dead skin cells. In their defence, I feel like they had good intentions for this product. They wanted something hydrating yet effective. But unfortunately, my skin didn’t like it. So I definitely wouldn’t be repurchasing. When it comes to usage, each toner will come with its own instructions – read them! – but a good general rule is to start with once a week and see how you go.
