AHA vs BHA: The Science of Radiance, Elevated by Innovation

At Vie – Être en Vie, we believe effective skincare begins with a deep understanding of skin biology. Two cornerstone ingredients in modern dermo-cosmetics are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) — each offering distinct yet complementary benefits.
AHAs – including glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids – are water-soluble actives that work on the skin’s surface. They gently dissolve dead cells, stimulate collagen synthesis, and enhance hydration for a radiant, refined complexion. Ideal for:
• Restoring plumpness & luminosity
• Revitalizing dull or uneven skin
• Reducing fine lines and photo-aging signs
• Improving tone & texture for a youthful glow
BHAs, most notably salicylic acid, are oil-soluble and penetrate deep into pores. Beyond clearing excess sebum and impurities, they deliver anti-inflammatory and antibacterial support. Perfect for:
• Treating acne, blackheads & clogged pores
• Minimizing pore visibility
• Addressing rosacea, ingrown hairs & skin congestion
Our Philosophy:
AHAs refine the surface, BHAs purify from within. When formulated thoughtfully and backed by dermatological science, they create synergy — delivering healthy, luminous skin with respect for its natural balance.
Which solution aligns with your skin’s unique needs — surface renewal, deep clarity, or a harmonized combination of both?
