Fruit AHAs: gentle, intelligent exfoliation

An age-old beauty secret

Long before science named them Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), ancient civilizations used fruits to rejuvenate their skin:

• Egyptians bathed in fermented milk (lactic acid).

• Greeks and Romans applied grape and lemon juice to smooth and brighten.

• In Asia, acidic fruits were used in rituals to purify and revive skin radiance.

Today, research shows that AHAs gently loosen the bonds between dead cells, enhancing cell turnover and skin luminosity.

A natural synergy of 5 fruits

The complex of fruits' acids used by Artean blends:
