Do AHAs make the skin more sensitive to the sun?
Because AHAs help to slough off the top dead layer of skin, they can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. However, because everyone’s skin is different, there’s no way to say how much of a difference the AHA product will make. For that reason, it is important to always use a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, such as Nu-Derm Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35 by Obagi – not just when using AHAs, but every day.
