AHA serums can work wonders for all skin types—yes, even sensitive skin, when used cautiously. “If you have fine lines or dull, uneven skin, or dark spots (hyperpigmentation), AHA serums are an excellent addition to your skin-care regimen. If you have highly sensitive skin, you may experience irritation, redness, or stinging from AHAs, so it’s best to avoid or use in moderation,” Dr. Rodney says. However, if you’re prone to acne or have rosacea, AHA serums could be a bit drying. “People with severe active acne or rosacea may find that AHAs exacerbate their condition by drying out the skin and potentially leading to more clogged pores. If you have broken skin, irritated skin, active sunburn, or experiencing a rosacea flare, avoid AHAs. When used effectively and on the right skin types, AHAs are excellent skin-care ingredients,” Dr. Rodney shares.
