What is A.H.A?
Can you please tell me what A.H.A is? On the bottle of Gallia cream it says it on the warning. Is it safe for a almost 16yr old boy with acne marks and blemishes to use?
Thankyou

Confused, I think it stands for alpha hydroxy acid – a very mild acid usually derived from fruits. It should be safe to use as long as you don’t overdo it. Good luck.
