What Makes Alra Renewal Serum So Effective? Ingredient Breakdown & Skin Benefits

When it comes to gentle yet effective exfoliation, few products are as thoughtfully formulated as the Alra Renewal Serum. Designed for sensitive, acne-prone, and dull skin types, this serum blends AHA, BHA, PHA, and Niacinamide to renew your complexion—without compromising your barrier.

In this blog, we’ll break down each ingredient and explain how it contributes to smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.


5.4% Lactic Acid (AHA): Tone + Texture Refinement

Lactic Acid is a well-known Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from milk. It's one of the most hydrating and least irritating AHAs, making it a perfect fit for sensitive skin.

Benefits:

  • Gently removes dead skin cells

  • Brightens dull skin

  • Improves uneven tone and rough texture

  • Promotes smoother, softer skin


15% Gluconolactone (PHA): Sensitive-Skin Friendly Exfoliation

Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) are the new generation of exfoliants—ideal for those who find AHAs too harsh.

Benefits:

  • Provides gentle yet effective exfoliation

  • Enhances hydration by attracting water to the skin

  • Improves skin clarity over time

  • Offers antioxidant properties that protect from environmental stress


2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Pore Purifying Power

Salicylic Acid is a classic Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to clear out sebum and reduce breakouts.

Benefits:

  • Clears blackheads and whiteheads

  • Reduces oiliness and shine

  • Prevents future breakouts by keeping pores clean

  • Soothes active acne inflammation


1% Niacinamide: Barrier Support + Brightening

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is one of the most well-researched ingredients in modern skincare.

Benefits:

  • Strengthens the skin barrier

  • Minimizes redness and inflammation

  • Helps fade post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation

  • Balances oil production


Why This Combination Works

What sets Alra Renewal Serum apart is its multi-layered exfoliation strategy:

  • AHA works on the surface

  • PHA hydrates and gently polishes

  • BHA clears from within

  • Niacinamide repairs and soothes

Together, this serum tackles multiple concerns at once: dullness, roughness, clogged pores, breakouts, and uneven tone—without triggering sensitivity.


How to Use Alra Renewal Serum

  • Use at night only on clean, dry skin.

  • Apply 1–2 pumps evenly across the face.

  • Follow with a moisturizer or Olive Therapy Serum to soothe and seal in hydration.

  • Use 2–4 times a week depending on your skin’s tolerance.

Always wear SPF in the morning when using exfoliants like AHA or BHA.
