Description
Krave Beauty Kale-Lalu-yAHA is a skin resurfacing AHA toner that kicks dead skin cells to the curb, revealing more youthful, healthy skin, while also giving it a delicious dose of antioxidants from dark, leafy greens.
Say bye-byes to the look of discolourations, sun damage and fine lines with continued use of this 5.25% AHA.
Unlike some other AHA toners, this one is effective while still being moisturising.
Why Krave Beauty Kale-Lalu-yAHA?
There’s a short answer and a long answer.
The short answer if that it will give you softer, smoother, clearer and more even-toned skin.
This treatment toner contains Glycolic Acid, considered to be exfoliating royalty in skin care circles. The amount of Glycolic Acid at 5,25% is high enough to be effective but not so high as to be aggressive and irritating.
It has a pH of 3.5-4.5, which is ideal for penetration. The percentage of Glycolic Acid and the pH determine the free acid value, which is the amount of the acid that penetrates the skin.
The primary ingredient in this exfoliating toner is Aloe Vera, not water, making it feel soothing rather than drying.

Brand ethos
Krave Beauty is an Indie brand that was founded by Skinfluencer Liah Yoo.
Liah became exhausted by searching for skin care products to to help her with her skin issues. She found that skin care brands were more focused on the latest skin care trends than skin solutions.
She decided to press reset and launch her own label that took a more conscious and sustainable approach to skin care for the benefit of people, animals and the environment.
Perfect pairs
Krave Beauty Kale-Lalu-yAHA loves to keep company with the Krave Beauty Re-Wined Gel Cleanser, of course!
It also works well with the Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief serum.
Tip: AHA newbies should start by mixing a little with their moisturiser, so as to buffer the product. Then move up to using it alone after cleansing. Use only as frequently as skin is comfortable with.

Anna Marie –
The Krave Beauty Kale Lalu-yAHA provides the secret sauce for your skin care routine. It’s an effective skin resurfacing exfoliator with 5.25% Glycolic Acid. It works to improve pigmentation, rough skin, dullness and acne, as well as build collagen. It also contains Betaine Salicylate, a gentle BHA, which also improves skin tone, smooths texture and helps reduce breakouts. I like that it’s packed with soothing ingredients, humectants and natural antioxidants. This exfoliant gets the job done without it feeling harsh or drying on the skin. Krave Beauty is all about skin health. It uses naturally derived ingredients and does not add fragrance or essential oils. With the Kale Lalu-yAHA, your skin will look clearer, brighter and more radiant in no time. It comes in a generous 200ml bottle that will last ages. If you have acne or oily skin, pair it with the Krave Beauty Oat So Simple Water Cream or the Dr.G RED Blemish Clear Soothing Cream for a power couple.
