Multi-Active & BHA Serum

An AHA BHA serum is a skincare product that combines Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin on multiple levels. AHAs, like lactic acid, work on the skin’s surface to remove dead skin cells, brighten dull skin, and smooth texture. BHAs, like salicylic acid, penetrate deep into pores to unclog them, reduce excess oil, and fight breakouts.

INSKIN.CO’s Multi-Active & BHA Serum is a powerful AHA and BHA serum that features a blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid, succinic acid, and azeloglicina to target congestion, roughness, pigmentation, and oiliness, making it the perfect exfoliating serum for clearer, brighter skin.

AHA BHA serums offer dual exfoliation: AHAs like lactic acid smooth and brighten the skin’s surface, while BHAs like salicylic acid penetrate deep into pores to reduce breakouts. Our Multi-Active & BHA Serum combines four types of exfoliants to address congestion, roughness, pigmentation, and oil flow.

The Multi-Active & BHA Serum is specifically formulated to address a range of common skin concerns, including:

• Congestion and breakouts – thanks to salicylic acid and succinic acid, which help decongest pores and reduce acne-causing bacteria.
• Rough texture – AHAs like lactic acid gently exfoliate to smooth the skin’s surface.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – Azeloglicina found in this AHA and BHA serum targets uneven skin tone and brightens discolouration.
• Excess oil production – ingredients like witch hazel and succinic acid in our exfoliating serum help regulate sebum for a more balanced complexion.
• Dullness and lack of radiance – the exfoliating action reveals fresher, more luminous skin.

This AHA and BHA serum is ideal for oily, acne-prone, and uneven skin types seeking a smoother, clearer, and brighter complexion.

The Multi-Active & BHA Serum is powered by a blend of advanced actives designed to exfoliate, clarify, and brighten the skin:

• Lactic Acid (AHA) – The lactic acid formulated within our AHA and BHA serum gently exfoliates surface cells, smooths skin texture, reduces fine lines, and improves uneven pigmentation and dullness.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA) – The exfoliating serum penetrates pores to decongest, reduce breakouts, and control excess sebum.
• Azeloglicina – A gentle, hydrating alternative to Azelaic Acid that brightens skin, fades hyperpigmentation, and balances oil production.
• Succinic Acid – Found in our AHA and BHA serum, succinic acid reduces bacteria, boosts cell turnover, and regulates sebum for a clearer, more balanced complexion.
• Witch Hazel Extract – A natural astringent formulated within our exfoliating serum that tones the skin, tightens pores, and reduces redness.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to refine texture, clear congestion, and enhance skin clarity, making our Multi-Active & BHA Serum a powerhouse AHA BHA serum for those targeting breakouts, rough texture, and dullness.

Our exfoliating serum is best suited for oily, combination, and breakout-prone skin types, especially those dealing with:

• Congestion
• Excess oil
• Breakouts or acne
• Uneven texture and tone
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Because our Multi-Active & BHA Serum contains active exfoliants like lactic acid, salicylic acid, and Azeloglicina, it may be too stimulating for very sensitive or compromised skin barriers.

To get the best results from the Multi-Active & BHA Serum, follow these steps:

• Cleanse your skin thoroughly and pat dry.
• Apply ½ to 1 dropper of the aha bha serum directly to your face, neck, and décolletage, avoiding the eye area.
• Use the AHA and BHA serum at night, as it contains exfoliating acids that may increase sun sensitivity.
• Follow with your preferred INSKIN.CO hydrator or a gentle moisturiser.
• Always apply sunscreen the next morning when using exfoliating acids.

It’s best to be mindful when layering an AHA and BHA serum with other actives. Here’s how to do it safely:

• Vitamin C - Generally Vitamin C in the morning and the Multi-Active & BHA Serum at night. Alternatively, if using the INSKIN.CO Vitamin C Serum, you can layer it over the top of the Multi Active & BHA Serum to increase the absorption if recommended by a Skin Expert and or if you suffer with hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
• Retinol - Avoid using Retinol and this AHA BHA serum in the same routine. Both are potent actives and using them together can lead to over-exfoliation or sensitivity. If your skin is accustomed to actives, alternate between the two on different nights. Alternatively, if using Bakuchiol & B3 Serum it is safe to layer these to increase the absorption of the Bakuchiol & B3.
• Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic Acid can be layered with the Multi-Active & BHA Serum to boost hydration as the Multi Active & BHA Serum will help to increase the absorption of hydrating serums. Apply the exfoliating serum first to exfoliate and then follow with a hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Acid or Tremella & B3 Serum.
• Niacinamide (B3) - Niacinamide is gentle and can be layered with the Multi-Active & BHA Serum as it will increase the absorption of the Niacinamide.
• Peptides - Peptides can be used after the AHA BHA serum to increase the absorption of the peptides.
• AHA or Lactic Acid - Avoid layering other AHA BHA serums or skincare products with this serum, as they may cause irritation due to the combined exfoliation. Instead, alternate use on different nights.

Unfortunately, our AHA BHA serum is not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with an aspirin allergy due to the salicylic acid content.

INSKIN.CO offers a full range of skincare, including gentle cleansers and exfoliators, corrector serums to target all skin concerns, nourishing hydrators, and targeted daily mask treatments designed to support glowing, healthy skin.
