When do I use products with fruit acids?

Products with fruit acids are used when the skin should appear smoother, fresher, and more even. Fruit acids, also known as AHAs, can gently remove dead skin cells and thus refine the complexion. They are particularly popular for dull complexions, irregular skin texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation spots, or first lines.

1. If the skin looks dull and tired
If the complexion appears lackluster and the skin lacks radiance, fruit acids can help renew the skin's surface. The skin often looks fresher, clearer, and more radiant afterward.

2. For irregular skin texture
Fruit acid products are ideal if the skin is rough, uneven, or no longer perfectly smooth. They support a refined skin appearance and ensure a softer, more nurtured skin feel.

3. For pigmentation spots and sun damage
Fruit acids are often used when the complexion appears uneven or pigmentation spots are visible. Regular use can make the skin appear more even. Consistent daily sun protection is always important here.

4. For impure or clogged skin
Fruit acids can also be beneficial for impure skin, as they can loosen dead skin cells and clarify the skin. This makes pores appear finer and the complexion more balanced. However, for very sensitive or inflamed skin, application should be particularly cautious.

5. As a treatment or targeted evening care
Products with fruit acids are best used in the evening. Depending on the product and skin type, they can be applied once to several times a week. It's best to start slowly so the skin can get used to it.

6. Do not combine with too many active ingredients
Fruit acids should not be used simultaneously with too many intense active ingredients. Especially retinol, strong peels, or highly concentrated active products can further irritate the skin. A simple routine with gentle cleansing, a fruit acid product, moisturizer, and soothing active ingredients is better.

7. Sun protection is especially important
After using fruit acids, the skin can be more sensitive to light. Therefore, daily sun protection is particularly important – even in cloudy weather. This optimally protects the skin and allows the care to gently unfold its effect.

Products with fruit acids are ideal for refining, smoothing, and illuminating the skin. They are particularly suitable for dull complexions, irregular skin texture, pigmentation spots, or impure skin – provided they are correctly dosed and combined with sufficient moisture and sun protection.
