The Liquid Gold \u0026amp; Exfoliants collection includes the full range of treatments that made the brand famous: from gentle enzymatic polish to deep-acting overnight peels with retinol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA dull complexion, uneven skin texture, clogged pores, pigmentation spots, and the first signs of skin aging all arise from the same underlying cause: slowed cell renewal. Regular exfoliation speeds up this natural process, making the skin visibly smoother, brighter, and healthier. Within this collection, you will find the right exfoliant for every skin type and experience level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold\"\u003eWhy choose Alpha-H exfoliants?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAlpha-H exfoliants stand out due to their clinically supported formulas with attention to pH balance. Glycolic acid only works optimally in its free, active form and must be delivered in a low pH environment. For example, the iconic Liquid Gold has a pH of 2.8 - 3.0, which keeps almost all of the 5% glycolic acid biologically active. This is a fundamental difference from many other glycolic acid products on the market where the acid is largely buffered and thus loses its effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAdditionally, Alpha-H offers a complete stepwise build-up within one brand line: from enzymatic exfoliants for the most sensitive skin, to AHA and BHA products for the more experienced user, to triple-action overnight peels with glycolic acid and retinol for professional-level anti-aging treatments. Australian made, cruelty-free, scientifically supported, and the gold standard for over 25 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eFind your ideal Alpha-H exfoliant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor sensitive or beginner skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/en\/products\/alpha-h-illuminating-enzyme-polish-50gr\"\u003eIlluminating Enzyme Polish\u003c\/a\u003e is a gentle powder exfoliant with enzymes that works only on the surface — suitable for daily use and safe during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor blemish-prone or oily skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/en\/products\/alpha-h-clear-skin-tonic-100ml\"\u003eClear Skin Tonic\u003c\/a\u003e with 2% salicylic acid and niacinamide cleans pores from within, while the \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/en\/products\/alpha-h-instant-action-bha-blemish-treatment-20ml\"\u003eInstant Action BHA Blemish Treatment\u003c\/a\u003e is a targeted spot gel for acute pimples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor dull or uneven skin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/en\/products\/alpha-h-micro-super-scrub-100ml\"\u003eMicro Super Scrub\u003c\/a\u003e combines 12% glycolic acid with bamboo extract for weekly wash-off exfoliation.

The ultra-low pH ensures that almost all 5% glycolic acid remains biologically active and can actually penetrate the skin. Glycolic acid breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells and accelerates natural skin renewal — which is essential for vitamin C, as smoother, cleaner skin can absorb active vitamin C much better.

Unlike pure vitamin C, ethyl ascorbic acid does not oxidize quickly when exposed to light and air, ensuring effectiveness throughout the entire shelf life.

The difference lies in the focus. The original Liquid Gold is the all-round anti-aging exfoliant — targeting fine lines, elasticity, texture, and overall skin renewal. Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is specifically developed for brightening: it contains additional stabilized ethyl ascorbic acid and native Tasman Pepper to fade pigmentation spots and even out skin tone. Choose the + Vitamin C variant when pigmentation and dull skin are your main concerns. Choose the original variant when fine lines and overall skin renewal are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I switch from the regular Liquid Gold to Liquid Gold + Vitamin C?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, at any time. First finish your current bottle to stay within the PAO (period after opening) and then switch exactly the same way: three evenings per week on alternating days. You don’t need to let your skin get used to it again because the glycolic acid component is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo I still need a vitamin C serum during the day if I use this product?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, both have their own role. Liquid Gold + Vitamin C is your evening boost of vitamin C and exfoliation, mainly focused on pigment inhibition and cell renewal. A daily vitamin C serum in the morning provides continuous protection against UV damage and oxidative stress throughout the day. For optimal results, use your daily vitamin C serum + SPF in the morning, and Liquid Gold + Vitamin C on exfoliation evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes vitamin C work well at such a low pH of 2.8?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, exactly right. Vitamin C, specifically ethyl ascorbic acid, works best in an acidic environment — a pH between 2.5 and 3.5 is scientifically the most effective range for absorption and action. The low-pH formula that activates glycolic acid is therefore also ideal for vitamin C. This is one of the reasons why this combination is so powerful: both hero ingredients function optimally in the same pH environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow long before I see results on pigmentation spots?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe first glow and brighter skin are usually visible after just 3 nights. For a concrete reduction of pigmentation spots, consistent use for 4 to 8 weeks is necessary. In the clinical trial, 92% of participants reported lighter skin after 4 weeks, and 81% saw a decrease in the visibility of pigmentation spots. Deeper, long-lasting pigmentation spots such as melasma may require 12 weeks or longer for optimal results — daily SPF use is essential in this case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs the tingling with Liquid Gold + Vitamin C different from the original Liquid Gold?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo, the sensation is similar. The tingling comes from the active glycolic acid present in both products at the same concentration and pH. The Tasman Pepper also helps to reduce any sensitivity, which is why some users find the + Vitamin C variant even slightly milder than the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I combine this product with retinol?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, provided you use an over-the-counter retinol and apply cycling. The recommended routine: Monday evening Liquid Gold + Vitamin C, Tuesday evening retinol, Wednesday evening rest with a neutral moisturizer, Thursday evening Liquid Gold + Vitamin C again, and so on. Never combine them on the same evening.

Both glycolic acid and ethyl ascorbic acid and Tasman Pepper are safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Liquid Gold is a liquid tonic texture that focuses on exfoliation and overall skin renewal — suitable for 3 evenings per week. Beauty Sleep Power Peel is a rich cream mask that, in addition to glycolic acid, also contains 0.5% retinol and papaya enzyme, making it work more deeply on cell renewal and anti-aging. Beauty Sleep is intended for 2 evenings per week and focuses more on wrinkles, scar tissue, and pigmentation spots.

Alpha-H’s own recommendation is to initially use the product as a wash-off mask for 5 to 10 minutes once a week to build tolerance. Once the skin is accustomed, you can gradually switch to overnight use 1 to 2 times per week. Pause temporarily with severe redness, flaking, or irritation and allow the skin barrier to recover first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy shouldn’t I apply a night cream over this product?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Beauty Sleep Power Peel is deliberately formulated as a 1-step overnight treatment. The cream base already contains shea butter, mango seed butter, and hyaluronic acid for optimal hydration. Applying a night cream on top will buffer the effect of the retinol and glycolic acid. If you want an extra layer for extremely dry skin, wait at least 30 minutes and choose a light facial oil instead of a cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs a slight tingling normal?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, a slight tingling upon application is completely normal and is caused by the glycolic acid interacting with the skin.

The activity of glycolic acid strongly depends on the pH value of the formula. At a pH above 4, the acid is largely buffered and loses its effectiveness. Liquid Gold has an ultra-low pH of 2.8 - 3.0, making almost all of the 5% glycolic acid biologically active and able to penetrate the skin.

The moisture-binding silk proteins and glycerin provide hydration. When you apply a cream or serum over it, those products buffer the pH of Liquid Gold, largely deactivating the glycolic acid. Clinical studies show that Liquid Gold itself increases skin hydration by 30% after 8 hours of application.
