Why AHA & BHA Skincare Is the Glow-Boosting Trend You Need

And it’s in your Head to Toe Glow ROCCABOX Beauty Box!

If your skincare goals include smoother texture, fewer breakouts, and radiant skin, then it’s time to get familiar with one of 2025’s biggest skincare trends: acid layering with AHAs and BHAs. These active ingredients have taken over the beauty space for their transformative results — and now, you can try the trend for yourself with two expert formulas inside this month’s ROCCABOX Head to Toe Glow Box.

Worth over £102 but yours for £22 as a one-off purchase (or from just £15 if you subscribe), you’ll receive not one, but two full-size glow-giving DUOGEN products designed to unclog pores, resurface dull skin and hydrate all at once — with no irritation, and no dryness.

Here’s how to use your new duo to its fullest potential:

Step One: Cleanse & Brighten with DUOGEN Brightening Gel Cleanser (100ml)

This refreshing gel cleanser blends exfoliation with gentle hydration — a perfect intro to acid-based skincare. Its AHA-powered formula lifts away dead skin cells and excess oil without stripping your skin barrier.

Key Ingredients:

Glycolic Acid (AHA): One of the most effective exfoliating acids, glycolic acid dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting smoother skin and improved tone. It helps reduce texture, fade dark spots, and increase radiance over time.
Phytic Acid: A naturally derived AHA that brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation. It supports even tone and adds glow — perfect if you’re dealing with dullness or uneven patches.
Neroli Floral Water: A botanical addition that soothes and hydrates while delivering anti-inflammatory benefits, making this cleanser ideal even for sensitive skin types.
Pumpkin Enzymes: A natural exfoliant that enhances the effects of the acids while gently encouraging skin renewal, leaving your complexion soft, fresh, and luminous.

Use it morning or night for a bright, clean base that preps your skin for step two…

Step Two: Resurface & Clarify with DUOGEN AHA & BHA Clarifying Toner (100ml)

This pore-refining, skin-smoothing toner is a must-have if you deal with congested skin, breakouts or oily patches. It’s powered by a duo of exfoliating acids that work together to refine texture and leave your skin clearer with every use.

Key Ingredients:

Salicylic Acid (BHA): A beta-hydroxy acid known for its oil-soluble properties, salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to unclog them, reduce blackheads, and keep breakouts at bay. Perfect for acne-prone or oily skin.
Glycolic Acid (AHA): On the surface, glycolic acid works to exfoliate and smooth, helping reduce rough texture and improve skin clarity.
Tego Natural Betaine: A skin-soothing humectant that hydrates and calms, helping balance the skin barrier and prevent dryness — even while exfoliating.

Use it after cleansing to sweep away any leftover impurities and leave your skin glowing, clear, and balanced.

Why AHAs & BHAs Are Trending in 2025

Acids like glycolic and salicylic are no longer just for professional treatments — they’re skincare essentials for anyone looking to brighten dull skin, unclog pores, and refine uneven texture. And with modern formulations like DUOGEN’s, you don’t have to worry about irritation. These formulas are balanced with soothing, hydrating botanicals, making them suitable even for sensitive skin types.

By incorporating AHAs and BHAs into your routine regularly — especially through a double-step cleanse and tone system — you’ll notice fewer blemishes, smoother skin, and that healthy, glassy glow.
