AHAs Explained: Why They’re in Our Grapeseed Glow Toner
When you hear “AHAs,” you might think of intense peels or salon facials—but these gentle yet powerful exfoliants can be a game-changing part of your everyday routine, especially when used the right way. At Mia Fia Skincare, we chose to include AHAs in our Blueberry Grapeseed Glow Toner for a reason: they truly work—and in a way that’s kind to your skin.
Here’s everything you need to know.
🌿 What Are AHAs?
AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid—a group of naturally-derived acids most commonly found in fruits and sugarcane. The most well-known types are:
Glycolic acid (from sugar cane)
Lactic acid (from milk)
Citric acid (from citrus fruits)
AHAs work by gently dissolving the “glue” that holds dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, encouraging natural cell turnover and leaving you with a brighter, smoother complexion
✨ Why We Use AHAs in Our Glow Toner
- Our Grapeseed Glow Toner is carefully formulated to:
- Exfoliate gently without causing irritation
- Refine the appearance of pores
- Even out skin tone
- Help your serums and moisturisers absorb better
The AHAs in our toner are balanced with soothing plant extracts like blueberry and grapeseed, which are rich in antioxidants. So while the AHAs are at work sweeping away dullness, the botanicals are feeding your skin with hydration and protection.
It’s glow-getting and skin-loving—at the same time.
💧 Can I use an AHA toner everyday?
Yes! The AHAs in our toner are present in gentle concentrations suitable for daily or alternate-day use, even for sensitive skin types.
We always recommend:
Using it at night to allow the AHAs to work while your skin is in repair mode
Following up with our Hydrating Facial Lotion or Rosehip & Raspberry Dewy Overnight Oil to lock in moisture
Wearing SPF during the day to protect your newly-exfoliated skin
🍇 Why Grapeseed & Blueberry?
AHAs are just one part of the formula. We paired them with grapeseed and blueberry extract for a reason:
Grapeseed helps brighten and firm with its natural antioxidant content
Blueberry is rich in vitamin C and skin-soothing properties
The result? A toner that refines, brightens, and preps your skin for everything else.
