The Best BHA Skin Care Products for Clearer, Brighter Skin

So, first off, what's the difference between alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids? Well, for starters, AHAs are water-soluble, while BHAs are lipid-soluble. This makes them more effective for cleaning gunk out of pores and for regulating sebum production. Per Grous, they're great for oilier complexions.

Ciraldo continues that BHAs are gentler overall, even though they go deeper into your skin. Of course, they're also often combined: BHAs and AHAs appear together in skin care products.

Now that we've brushed up on beta hydroxy acids, click through the gallery to see the BHA-rich products that will help you achieve baby soft, blemish-free skin.
