Meet the Common Alpha Hydroxy Acids in skincare. AHA's used daily are wonderful for shrinking pores, tightening and toning skin, lessening the depth of wrinkles, helping with scarring and so much more.
What affects AHAs efficacy (their effectiveness and ability to produce results)? AHAs are usually available in three forms:
Creams (great for daily use)
Gels (treatment serum)
Aqueous (liquid - for professional treatments and peels)
There are 5 major factors that affect AHAs efficacy:
Skin Acidity (pH level)
Type of AHA used
Delivery Method (formula)
AHA Concentration
Skin Retention

I was having such a bad week and seeing you made me happier! I use Glycolic Acid (14%) in the AM :)

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

such great news:))xo

[@lanatudor5331]

Glycolic in the AM? Shouldn’t actives be used only in the evening?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

@@lanatudor5331 nope.... i always use ahas in the AM if you want to keep your pores small you need actives AM and PM. BUT, understand, these are mild buffered actives...not strong

Hi Nerida Joy, this was so informative and incredibly useful. I have been using AHAs but lately I have been tempted by so many other new modalities. Thank you for making me fall in love with AHAs again 🌟🌟🌟

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Yes, ahas are amazing:))ox

[@ContrastY]

I used an AHA to get rid of hyperpigmentation, successfully. It was an over the counter, drugstore product no longer sold/made, I miss it.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

yes, ahas will help lighten and brighten a blotchy skin. There are many good ones. Rejuvi has a great aha cream:))

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Thank you Nicole.... i massage my skin and keep it hydrated:))xo

[@babyjaxonrocka1988]

Hi Nerida can you explain how aha with low ph can trigger melasma? I thought melasma is induced from hormones.

[@annlatimer5182]

hi Nerida im a newbie here and have stumbled upon your videos and am now binge watching all your uploads lol. anywhoo I have nearly finished studying my diploma in beauty therapy in Australia and wondering if you know any great places where I can source the aha for treatments in my salon

[@lexijones8414]

Thank you for your knowledge

[@lorelavao6646]

Thank you Nerida!!! Im using Rejuvi retinol at night time. Can I use my Rejuvi AHA’S cream in the morning? What’s the best anti aging Rejuvi serum to apply under it (am)?

[@radianceface5107]

Video suggestion.....over hydrated and stripped skin. What regimen to get skin back to basic? My skin is shiny after washing and shining with make-up on. Not oily. Not taught. Not irritating. I’d sent an email to this issue but wasn’t f the correct advice responded. Thank you!

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

yes, pH balance is super important:))

Thank you for a very informative video. What PH level should we look for in aha chemical peels?

[@fallguy6196]

What acid do I use for dehydrated sensitive mild rosacea ?

[@maryjanney1361]

Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on KZbin, for curing my Candida albican overgrowth within 14days, with he's natural supplement

[@alisonnichols]

Thanks for the video! I guess I’m a little confused... I thought AHA’s have exfoliating properties so how are we able to use them daily and not just 2-3 times a week?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

ahas are in serum and cream that you can use daily. they offer more then exfoliation, they stimulate the fibroblast cells to tighten and keep the skin healthy and pretty :))

[@sarah-86]

Should I use the AHA serum in the morning or at night? And should it go on first right after cleanse and then add other serums and healing gel on top?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Depends on your regimen....if you have a retinol for the PM. I use ahas in the AM.... cleanse, healing gel, aha serum and moisturizer/sunblock:)ox

[@lorelavao6646]

How can I add my Rejuvi vit C and Rejuvi Q flavonoids to my regimen when using Rejuvi AHA’s cream? Should I use the AHAS cream both am and pm? Thanks

[@lucaslenz7092]

I would say just use the AHA cream once a day at night, the vitamin C in the morning, and the Q flavonoid morning or night :)

[@malaysiahaulsey1126]

How do you feel about using AHAs and doing chemical peels in the summer?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

I do it all..... but with the products i know VERY VERY well:))

[@karenabatemarco1824]

Can u please demonstrate an acneic massage? I have a lot of clients with acne and I know that a European massage is inappropriate for their skin.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

its much shorter.... and with specific products that are healing.... i show this in my acetic videos on YT too:))

[@manuelaherrera8921]

Hi Nerida, how can you tell if your skin prefers retinols to AHAs and vice versa? What are the signs to look for? I'm a Latina with skin on the fairer side. I'm oily/combo but I have eczema as well. I generally seem to experience more irritation from retinols than AHAs, but I;m worried about losing anti-aging benefits of retinols. Any advice? I use both in my routine.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

you have to use what works best for your skin.with eczema its tricky.... but you can always layer other healing products on first. Trial and error:)) watch my other videos to learn more... see if you can relate to one of the other models i have worked on:)

[@tvettabt]

Is the Rejuvi liquid form AHA available for consumers or just estheticians?

[@polovinka2]

It is available for consumers. It’s called AHA serum.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

@@polovinka2 thank you xoxo

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

yes, aha serum, aha cream and the C solution are for consumers

Hi Nerida, Could you please let us know if there are any skin care ingredients we use on our face that we should absolutely NOT be using on our chest and on our neck since the skin on those two areas is thinner?? I am especially interested to know if we can use AHA, Vitamin C and Retinol on your neck and our chest? Is there anything special I can do to smooth chest wrinkles? Thank you very much in advance. I look forward to hearing from you :)

[@concisekrevin3802]

She once said Niacinamide, too stimulating for neck's thyroid!

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

I rarely use retinol on my neck and chest. I occasionally use aha on my neck.... few times a week. But it really does depend on the brand formula. Some you may be able to use... some not:))
