Why You Need Platinum AHA Activating Treatment in Your Skincare Routine
If you’re serious about your skincare, exfoliation should be a non-negotiable step. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, dullness, or you just want that radiant glow, the right exfoliator can make all the difference. Enter the Platinum AHA Activating Treatment—a powerhouse product that brings together advanced exfoliating science with gentle care. Here's why it deserves a spot in your routine.
Why Exfoliation Matters
Exfoliating isn’t just about smoothing your skin—it’s about giving your entire skincare regimen a boost. Removing dead skin cells and surface debris helps prevent clogged pores, reducing the risk of breakouts and leaving your skin visibly brighter. Plus, it allows your serums and moisturisers to penetrate more deeply, giving you better results from every step in your skincare lineup.
The Dual Power of Chemical & Physical Exfoliation
The Platinum AHA Activating Treatment takes exfoliation up a notch by blending chemical and physical methods. When you apply it, AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) gently dissolve dead cells, giving you the benefits of a chemical exfoliant. Then, the treatment can be gently rolled off, providing a mild physical exfoliation to slough away the loosened debris. It's a two-in-one approach that’s effective yet gentle, suitable for most skin types.
Why Use Both AHAs & BHAs?
Combining AHAs and BHAs means you’re tackling multiple skin concerns at once. AHAs, like Lactic Acid, exfoliate the surface and attract moisture, improving hydration and texture. BHAs, like Salicylic Acid, are oil-soluble, meaning they penetrate deep into the pores to clear out excess oil and impurities. This synergy helps you manage everything from fine lines to clogged pores—without overloading your skin.
Don’t Overdo It—Here’s Why
Over-exfoliating is a common skincare mistake that can lead to irritation, redness, and breakouts. For this reason, don’t use the Platinum AHA Activating Treatment with other exfoliators like facial scrubs or Micro-Dermabrasion products. Give your skin time to flourish and avoid applying it to freshly exfoliated or broken skin to prevent sensitivity.
Should You Use It With Retinol?
Short answer: no. AHAs and Retinol both increase cell turnover, and using them together can irritate the skin. Stick to one powerful treatment at a time to keep your skin happy and healthy.
How to Use it in Your Routine
Wondering where it fits into your current regimen? Apply the Platinum AHA Activating Treatment after cleansing on dry skin. This will clear out pores and prep your skin for the rest of your products. Follow up with your toner, serum, and moisturiser. Start by using it once or twice a week, then gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance. If you have sensitive skin, leave it on for five minutes instead of ten.
Pro tip: Always wear SPF the next day, as exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to sun exposure. I recommend the Ultra Care+ Smart Shield Protection Crème SPF 50 for optimal protection.
Is Multi-Masking Safe?
For most skin types, yes! The Platinum AHA Activating Treatment is gentle enough to be used in a multi-masking routine. If your skin is on the sensitive side, give it some time to adjust or patch test before layering with other masks.
Skincare Made Easy: The Airless Pump Advantage
Ever wondered why packaging matters? The Platinum AHA Activating Treatment comes in an airless pump that keeps the formula fresh and hygienic. This means the active ingredients stay potent longer, ensuring you get maximum benefits with every use.
Pregnancy & AHA Treatment
While the Platinum AHA Activating Treatment uses gentle ingredients like Lactic Acid, it’s always best to consult your doctor if you’re pregnant. Skin can behave unpredictably during pregnancy, so err on the side of caution.
When Will You See Results?
Patience pays off! You’ll notice fresher-looking skin immediately, and more visible improvements in texture and tone within two weeks. In trials, 84% of users preferred this treatment over in-clinic peels—so you’re getting spa-level results at home. Each jar will last you around 20-25 uses, making it a great value for your skincare investment.
