Description
Exfoliating night cream with glycolic acid for mature skin
At night, the skin is most receptive to repair. It is the time when cell renewal naturally accelerates and the skin barrier needs recovery time. For those experiencing visible lines, dull complexion, or pigmentation spots, this phase calls for targeted support.
The Alpha-H After Hours AHA Moisturiser is a refined night cream that actively supports this nightly regeneration. With 3.5% glycolic acid and 2.5% lactic acid, the skin is gently exfoliated, while Matrixyl 6, vegan squalane, and chia seed nourish, firm, and strengthen the barrier. The next morning, the skin looks smoother, plumper, and visibly brighter.

Active ingredients
Glycolic acid 3.5%: An alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating cell renewal. This acid refines skin texture, reduces the visibility of fine lines, and gently helps fade pigmentation spots for a visibly brighter complexion.
Lactic acid 2.5%: A mild AHA that exfoliates while retaining hydration in the skin. Especially suitable for mature or dry skin as it respects the skin barrier while promoting a more even complexion.
Matrixyl 6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38): An advanced peptide that supports the natural production of six different skin proteins, including collagen. It helps firm the skin from within and visibly reduces the depth of fine lines and wrinkles.
Vegan squalane: A lightweight moisturizing ingredient that nourishes the skin without leaving a greasy layer. Squalane locks in moisture, soothes the skin, and provides protection against oxidative stress that the skin tries to repair overnight.
Chia seed oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Chia seed strengthens the skin's natural lipid barrier, prevents moisture loss during the night, and soothes the skin during the exfoliation process.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this cream every evening?
The After Hours AHA Moisturiser is formulated for daily evening use. Gradually build up usage: start with 2 to 3 times per week and increase once the skin is accustomed to the acids. A slight tingling sensation during the first applications is normal.
Is this the same cream as the Liquid Gold 24 Hour Moisture Repair Cream?
Yes. Alpha-H has renamed it to After Hours AHA Moisturiser, but the formulation remains identical. The same active ingredients, the same results.
Should I use sun protection during the day with this product?
Absolutely. AHAs temporarily make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. A broad-spectrum SPF in the morning is essential to protect the cream's effectiveness and prevent pigmentation spots.
Is this night cream safe during pregnancy?
Yes, Alpha-H has classified this product as safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. When in doubt, we always recommend consulting a doctor or midwife.
