If you’re ready to take your skincare routine to the next level, it’s time to meet the dynamic duo: skin needling + AHA exfoliation. 💥This powerhouse combination doesn’t just improve your glow — it supercharges your skin’s ability to absorb active ingredients, leading to smoother, brighter, and healthier skin.

Let’s dive into why this method works and how you can safely add it to your at-home skincare routine!


Why Combine Skin Needling and AHA?

🔬 AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are gentle chemical exfoliants that help dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.This leaves your complexion looking fresher and allows better absorption of the products you apply afterward.

Skin Needling (also called micro-needling) uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin, enhancing the penetration of serums deep into the dermis and boosting natural collagen production.

When combined, AHA clears the path, and skin needling opens the door — making it easier for all your potent serums and treatments to work their magic.

Talk about penetration perfection! ⚡


How to Use AHA and Skin Needling Together Safely

To get the best results (and avoid irritation), here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Exfoliate Gently with AHA

Start your routine by cleansing your face and applying your AHA exfoliant.This will slough off any dead skin cells, making your skin fresh and more receptive.

Tip: Choose a gentle AHA formulation with lactic or glycolic acid if you’re new to chemical exfoliation.

2️⃣ Use a 0.25mm Derma Roller

Once your AHA has fully absorbed and your skin feels dry (not tacky), it’s time to bring out the derma roller.Gently roll it across your skin in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal motions.

Important: Always sanitize your derma roller before and after each use to avoid infection.

3️⃣ Apply Your Serum

Immediately after needling, apply your chosen serum (Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc.).Your skin will absorb these ingredients much more efficiently, leading to boosted results over time.

4️⃣ Hydrate and Protect

Because your skin will be more sensitive, always finish with a deeply hydrating moisturizer.And don’t forget — SPF is a MUST the next day (and every day!) to protect your fresh, rejuvenated skin.

Unlock Your Skin’s Full Potential
