Acids are the unsung heroes of skincare, and their presence in this year&rsquo;s Beauty Awards line-up is well deserved. AHAs and BHAs work to accelerate skin turnover, exfoliating dead cells while revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. The selected winners stand out because they strike the perfect balance: effective yet gentle, promoting radiance without irritation. AHAs brighten and even tone, while BHAs penetrate pores to combat congestion and blemishes. Together, they refine texture, reduce dullness, and support a healthy, resilient complexion. In short, these acid-infused formulas prove that potent skincare can be both transformative and kind to your skin.
