This fatty acid also has powerful antioxidant effects. It’s also called a universal antioxidant. It increases the supply of oxygen in the cells, improves skin respiration and prolongs the skin’s biological youth. Our body produces it only in very small amounts, but we find it in some foods, such as spinach, liver or yeast,

7-Alpha hydroxy or fruit acids- Best Acid for acne.

These are actually found in fruits and vegetables. At higher concentrations (up to 70%), dermatologists use them in chemical peels. They remove dead cells from the surface of the skin, shutting it off and tightening the pores. They reduce some types of pigmentation in the face. They rid the skin surface of bacteria and sebum, so they are suitable to treat acne.

Vitamin C is usually found in good quantity in this acid. In order to have the best possible results, however, it is best not to combine it with other acids and especially with retinol, because they are essentially neutralized.

9-Azelaic acid- Best Acid with anti-inflammatory properties.

Buy From Amazon

Exclusive sources are wheat, rye and barley. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it effective against acne, redness and all kinds of skin irritations. But the biggest advantage of policy acid is that it can penetrate a little deeper into the skin through the pores. Thus kills bacteria and prevents the production of excess melanin (responsible for dark spots and discolorations). Dermatologists consider it ideal for pregnant women, who often have melasma and acne problems during childbirth.

10-Citric acid – Best Acid that acts as a natural preservative.

Dermaroller Hyal C Serum – Hyaluronic Acid, Citric Components, Almond Oil for Highly Moisturizing Skin Support 

Buy From Amazon

$32.16

Identical to tartaric acid, citric acid (sourced from citrus fruits, especially lemon) helps regulate pH. At the same time, it acts as a natural preservative, allowing the formulas that contain it to remain fresh and effective for a longer time. However, citric acid is also particularly beneficial in combating irritation from external factors (air, water and heavy metals), thanks to its ability to collect impurities on the surface of the skin and not penetrate deeper.

11-Retinoic acid: Best Acid for anti-aging action

It is an acid with larger molecules and is the least irritating of all acids. Therefore, it will be great for sensitive skin, and also for oily skin and skin with acne, because it has strong anti-inflammatory effects and can also, like salicylic acid, get into the pores, clean them from the inside and regulate the formation of sebum.

13-Malic acid-Best Acid for sensitive skin

Paula’s Choice RESIST Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA Serum, Lactic, Glycolic & Malic Acids, Anti-Aging Exfoliant

Apple contains this acid in large quantities, with properties comparable to lactic acid. However, malic acid needs the help of salicylic or glycolic acid to get the most out of its properties: maintaining natural moisture, healing irritations, fighting free radicals.
