Lamelle Correctives AHA 8%

Correctives AHA 8% is the stronger of the two glycolic acid formulas in the range, and it is intended for people whose skin is already used to alpha hydroxy acids. At 8%, it steps up exfoliation to speed skin renewal and improve the signalling between skin cells, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, more elastic skin.

Used consistently, it also improves the skin's ability to hold on to water, so the complexion looks plumper and more radiant rather than stripped. Glycolic acid here does a protective job too, helping shield skin cells from oxidative stress and enzymatic breakdown. Lamelle reports faster wrinkle reduction and better texture than many medicated treatments.

AHA 5% or AHA 8%

If you are new to glycolic acid, the Correctives AHA 5% is the place to begin. The 8% formula is the next step for experienced users who want more pronounced resurfacing once their skin has adapted. Amanda will advise when you are ready to move up, and how to use it so the barrier stays comfortable — a hydrating serum such as Correctives HA+ makes a good companion.

Supporting clinic results

Consistent home exfoliation keeps skin smoother between medical chemical peels and dermaplaning, helping maintain the refined texture achieved in clinic. Amanda may pause it before or after certain treatments, so let her know you use it. Daily sun protection is an important partner to any AHA routine.
