You’ve probably heard of glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid as popular alpha-hydroxy-acids and beta-hydroxy-acids (or AHAs and BHAs) that chemically exfoliate the skin. But have you ever read about lipo-hydroxy acid? It’s commonly referred to as LHA and is a derivative of salicylic acid, making it great for oily and acne-prone skin types. The gentle exfoliating ingredient can be found in creams, cleansers, toners and spot treatments and can help even out skin tone and slough away dead skin cells. Below, find five of our favorite skincare products with LHA.  Kiehl’s Milk-Peel Gentle Exfoliating TonerIf you’re on the hunt for a toner that will thoroughly cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils, this is the one for you. The dual-action formula features lipo-hydroxy acids to exfoliate the skin, leaving it looking more clear and even, as well as emollients and almond milk to moisturize.
