Acids in a Skincare Routine: What They Are, How to Use Them and How They're Used With Other Skincare Products

Skincare acids have gained a lot of attention in recent times for their supporting role in improving the appearance of skin. Before you jump into using these products, it's essential to understand what they are, how to use them correctly, and how they work alongside other skincare ingredients. Let’s take a look at the most commonly used acids in skincare.

What are acids in skincare?

When it comes to skincare, acids are far from the caustic substances we often associate with the term. Instead, they can be gentle, yet powerful ingredients that can be used to help enhance skin appearance. For those with sensitive skin, it's essential to use any skincare product carefully and read Your Guide to Sensitive Skin What it is, Causes, Signs and More.

Common acids in skincare include Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs), and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Each of these has different properties so they serve different purposes —from exfoliating to hydrating (1).

What is AHA in skincare?

AHAs, such as citric acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, work mainly as exfoliants, helping to shed dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion (1).

What is BHA in skincare?

BHAs, such as salicylic acid, help to unclog pores. BHAs offer similar exfoliating benefits to AHAs but are often considered to be gentler. BHAs are also often used to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (1).

What is PHA in skincare?

PHAs, like gluconic acid and gluconolactone, also have exfoliating properties and have also been found to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and photoaged skin. They have been found to be gentle on sensitive skin (2).

Let’s examine the advantages of specific acids in skincare in more depth:

What is citric acid in a skincare routine?

Citric acid is a naturally occurring AHA found in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. This acid can help promote surface skin renewal (3), leading to a brighter and more even skin tone, making it a valuable ally in reducing the look of dark spots acne scars, and a dull complexion. It can also help rejuvenate the appearance of photo-aged skin (3).

You can incorporate citric acid into your skincare routine through various products, such as cleansers or serums.

When to use lactic acid in your skincare routine?

Lactic acid, another member of the AHA family, is derived from sources like milk and fermented products. Used in skincare products, lactic acid is known for its moisturizing properties (1,3), making it an excellent choice as an ingredient in products for gently cleansing or helping to hydrate your skin. In addition, by encouraging skin surface renewal, lactic acid can help the appearance of dark spots and improve overall skin texture (3).

To integrate lactic acid into your skincare routine, you can choose from a range of products, including exfoliants, serums, or moisturizers.

What does hyaluronic acid do for your skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. In skincare, it helps keep your skin moist, as it attracts and retains moisture (3). That’s why the benefits of hyaluronic acid make it great for your skin in many ways: it helps the skin to appear plump, making it look firmer and more youthful. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, the improved moisture balance enhances overall skin texture, making it appear more radiant and healthy-looking (4,5).

If you wonder how to incorporate hyaluronic acid into a skincare routine, try products like Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion and the Optimal Hydration range. All products are formulated to provide your skin with the hydration it needs, ensuring it remains soft-feeling, smooth, and comfortable.

For more information on the use of hyaluronic acid and tips to incorporate it into your skincare routine, explore our articles How to Use Hyaluronic Acid for the Skin: The Dos & Don’ts and How to Get Rid of Dry, Flaky Skin on Your Face.

How can salicylic acid help your skin?

Salicylic acid, derived from willow bark, is a BHA known for its effectiveness in skincare. Functioning as a mild exfoliator, it promotes skin surface renewal and a smoother complexion. It also helps to keep pores clear by preventing the accumulation of debris that often leads to blackheads and whiteheads and it can help to manage breakouts (6,7).

You can easily integrate salicylic acid into your skincare through various products, for instance Cetaphil Gentle Salicylic Acid Cleanser contains salicylic acid. Consistent and thoughtful application of salicylic acid contributes to a visibly clearer and healthier-looking complexion.

How to incorporate acids into your skincare routine

Using acids in skincare requires a thoughtful approach, where you need to consider your skin type and specific concerns. Firstly, identify your skin type—whether it's oily, dry, combination, or sensitive. You can do this with the help of our Skincare Digital Assistant. Then choose the acids that align with your needs.

When introducing acids into your skincare routine, start slowly to allow your skin to get used to a new ingredient. It's generally advisable to incorporate acids into your nighttime routine, providing enough time for your skin to recover and benefit from their effects.

Sun protection is paramount when using acids. Although adverse reactions to AHAs mainly occur with so-called skin peelers, while using AHAs your skin might be more sensitive to UV (3,7,8). Apply a moisturizer with at least SPF 30 during the day, even if you're not directly exposed to sunlight. Check out all the Cetaphil products with an SPF.

Before incorporating acids, patch testing is essential to gauge potential reactions. Some side effects like redness, tingling, or irritation can be normal initially, but persistent discomfort warrants attention. If side effects persist or worsen, seeking professional advice is advisable. If you don’t know how to patch test skincare products, simply apply the product you want to test behind your ear or where you’re most sensitive and wait for a day or so to see if it gives you problems.

Additionally, for those unfamiliar with skincare routines, guides on our routines page help you find your daily skincare routine.

How to use acids with other skincare products?

When using acids in conjunction with other skincare products, the order of application is important for optimal results. Start with a gentle cleanser to prepare the skin. Next, apply your acid product, whether it's salicylic acid for exfoliation or another acid targeting specific concerns. Follow this with any serums, allowing the key ingredients to penetrate. Moisturizers and sunscreen should come next to lock in hydration and help reinforce the skin barrier.

Layering acids with other active ingredients could help with how effective the ingredients are, for example layering products with vitamins and hyaluronic acid (2,9). However, it’s always important to consider potential interactions. So, if you don’t know what skincare products not to mix, it's advisable to use only one acid at a time and speak to your dermatologist about using more than one together.

The bottom line

Whether opting for citric acid's brightening effects, lactic acid's moisturizing benefits, or salicylic acid's pore-clearing prowess, selecting acids suitable for your skin type and understanding their unique properties is key. When incorporating acids into your skincare, follow the correct application order, be cautious of potential interactions, and prioritize sunscreen for skin protection.

You might also have reddish patches on your skin and have a tendency to show lines and wrinkles.  WHAT TO DO: If you have dry skin, wash twice a day with a gentle cleanser or creamy cleansing wash like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Avoid taking too-long baths, as this can help worsen your dry skin. Applying a moisturizer with sunscreen once a day just after cleansing will help soothe dry skin and minimize the appearance of lines. Be sure to add the cream while your skin is still damp, as this will help lock in moisture. And as your skin is the type that’s extra-thirsty, don’t be scared to apply moisturizer several times a day. The best face moisturizer for dry skin should contain ingredients (such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid) that help the skin hold water. And remember that for dry skin, exfoliating once a week should be enough.

All of this is caused by excessive sebum (the substance that lubricates and waterproofs our skin). WHAT TO DO: If you have oily skin, you might be tempted to wash your face more often to rid it of excess oil and dirt. However, it’s important to still limit cleansing to no more than twice a day--washing too much can actually lead to even more oil production. You may want to try a foaming cleanser like Cetaphil PRO Oil Removing Foam Wash that’s specially formulated for oily skin. As for exfoliation, this removes dead skin cells and leaves skin looking brighter. People with oily skin can benefit from more frequent exfoliation (as often as once a day, provided you use a gentle scrub). Apply a light moisturizer once a day, and choose one that’s optimized for oily skin. The best moisturizer for this type of skin is one that’s light, easily absorbed and provides oil control such as Cetaphil® PRO Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30. And when choosing any skin care product, be sure to choose one that is labelled “non-comedogenic”, meaning it’s formulated not to clog pores. Aside from moisturizer, use a sunscreen regularly and throughout the year.", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "b936023a84f339512486fac222", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "45" } }, { "id" : "6a7c2a7f0ec789de465b323ff2", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "3.

For example, you might find that your forehead, nose or chin (the area known as the T-zone) might be oily, but your cheeks are dry. This can make it bewildering to know which products to use to get the best results for combination skin. WHAT TO DO: The best step is to use a gentle cleanser, like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and stick with a moisturizer with oil-free hydrators such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Different parts of your face may need slightly different kinds of care (e.g. more frequent moisturization in dry areas, using light moisturizers in oily areas ),(8) so it’s best to observe how your skin reacts and stay with the routine that works best.   1 <a href=\"https://www.webmd.com/beauty/whats-your-skin-type\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"external\"

Skin cells produce less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for maintaining the skin’s structure, hydration, and elasticity. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic and firm, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles (1,2). To slow down the effect of aging, a good skin care regimen tailored to your skin type is essential. An effective routine can help to keep your skin hydrated, and help to reduce the signs of aging. Look out for anti-aging skin care products that help to improve skin elasticity and resiliency. Starting a good anti-aging skin care routine early in life can help establish healthy habits that will benefit your skin for years to come.

If you have acne-prone skin, you may still experience dry skin in combination with acne breakouts. Moisturizers are good for acne-prone skin because they can help protect your skin barrier, especially against the harsh effects of some acne treatments (2). They do so by increasing water content to your skin and helping to reduce water loss (7). Moisturizers can also help to protect your skin against environmental elements (7).

The skin barrier acts as a protective shield, helping to retain moisture by sealing in water within the skin and preventing it from evaporating, as well as protecting the skin from environmental stressors. A damaged or weakened skin barrier can result in increased moisture loss, leading to dryness, tightness, and flaking (2,3). Several factors can compromise your skin barrier and contribute to dry, flaky skin, especially on your face.4 These include excessive sun exposure and the natural aging process, as well as skin conditions like eczema. Harsh weather conditions, such as cold and dry air, can also strip the skin of its natural oils and worsen dryness and frequent washing with hot water and harsh soaps or cleansers can disrupt the skin barrier's integrity and contribute to dry skin (3).

While it's important to note that no single ingredient can guarantee eradication of flaky skin, incorporating these gentle ingredients into your skin care routine can help replenish your skin barrier and help to combat dryness. <h3>Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)</h3>Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, has a smoothing effect on the skin and helps to replenish your skin’s barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss, which is often a common issue for dry skin types (5). <h3>Panthenol (Vitamin B5)</h3>Panthenol, derived from vitamin B5, is another ingredient that helps to smooth and soften your skin by helping to attract and retain moisture within the skin (4). <h3>Glycerin</h3>Glycerin often comes in the form of glyceryl or glycerol, and is one of the most common ingredients in cosmetic products. It is a powerful moisturizing agent and works by drawing moisture from the environment and binding it to the skin, creating a protective barrier that locks in hydration (2,6,7).", "headerClass" : false } }, { "id" : "01cf3227bc1ed80ca9d81cedff", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "45" } }, { "id" : "7fa03b7af07ab10e9d178fcb87", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.photoTile", "data" : { "image" : { "path" : "Optimized_GettyImages-1176489657.jpg", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 666, "width" : 1000 } }, "fullBleed" : false, "photoAlign" : "Center", "alt" : "5_Tips_for_Taking_Care_of_Sensitive_Skin-3" } }, { "id" : "ce6903bb7b9cfe4ea489422a04", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "45" } }, { "id" : "53d2dbc994ded462b2ab684181", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>How to remove dry, flaky skin on your face</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "acaf56c752f92093b3cd5fc18b", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "In addition to moisturizing, maintaining proper hydration and using gentle products are essential for addressing dry, flaky skin. Achieving healthy-looking, hydrated skin is a journey that requires consistency and patience. Creating a skin care routine that focuses on gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and suitable serums, can greatly improve the condition of your skin. For a selection of facial moisturizers and serums suitable for dry, flaky skin, you can explore our <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/moisturizers/facial-moisturizers-serums\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Face Moisturizers\" data-category-id=\"facial-moisturizers-serums\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-ca\">facial moisturizers and serums page</a>. If you suffer from skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis, using gentle products becomes even more crucial. These conditions can make the skin more sensitive and prone to dryness and itchiness. It's recommended to consult with a dermatologist for condition-specific advice and product recommendations tailored to your needs. <h3>Cleansers for dry, flaky skin</h3>Starting your skin care routine with a gentle cleanser formulated for dry skin that helps replenish your skin’s moisture barrier is crucial for dry, flaky skin. Unlike harsh cleansers, they won’t strip away your skin's natural oils and disrupt its delicate balance. Cleansers for dry skin focus on preserving moisture and keeping the skin barrier intact to prevent further dryness. Look for cleansers that are hydrating, fragrance-free, and help preserve your skin’s microbiome. The skin's microbiome refers to the diverse ecosystem of microorganisms that reside on your skin's surface (4). Certain cleansers, such as <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/cleansers/cetaphil-hydrating-cream-to-foam-cleanser/77261852841.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"77261852841\" data-product-id=\"77261852841\">Cetaphil Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser</a> and <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/cleansers/cetaphil-gentle-foaming-facial-cleanser/772618075403.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"772618075403\" data-product-id=\"772618075403\">Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser</a>, are formulated to be gentle on the skin's microbiome, ensuring that the beneficial bacteria are not disrupted, and both are recognized products by the Canadian Dermatology Association’s Expert Advisory Board. <h3>Exfoliating dry, flaky skin</h3>Dry, flaky skin often has a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface, which can contribute to a dull complexion and hinder the absorption of moisturizers. Gentle exfoliation helps to slough off these dead cells, revealing a fresher and more radiant layer of skin underneath. This allows moisturizers, serums, and other skin care products to penetrate more effectively, maximizing their hydrating benefits for your skin (8). While exfoliation helps promote cell turnover, it's important to avoid harsh exfoliation methods because they can lead to further dryness and sensitivity (3). To incorporate gentle exfoliation into your skin care routine, you might want to consider using a product like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/cleansers/extra-gentle-daily-scrub/772618075250.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"772618075250\" data-product-id=\"772618075250\">Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub</a>. This scrub is specifically formulated to be gentle enough for daily use, helping to improve skin texture and reveal healthy-looking skin. <h3>Moisturizers for dry, flaky skin</h3>A high-quality facial moisturizer is a cornerstone for your dry skin to help protect your skin barrier. A strong skin barrier can better retain moisture and prevent water loss (2). Opt for moisturizers that are rich in emollients and humectants to help replenish and retain moisture in the skin, such as <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/moisturizers/daily-advance%C2%AE-ultra-hydrating-lotion/772618072279.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"772618072279\" data-product-id=\"772618072279\">Cetaphil Daily Advance® Ultra Hydrating Lotion</a> or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.ca/en/moisturizers/optimal-hydration-daily-glow-cream/772618090444.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"772618090444\" data-product-id=\"772618090444\">Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Daily Glow Cream</a>.
