Why have some brands pulled their AHA products?

[korina981]

years ago i saw tons of products with AHA's in them. St. Ives had a scrub with AHA exfoilation and Eucerin had a lotion/moisturizer with AHA. Now both have been discontinued. i think it's weird. I wanted to use something with AHA but it's hard to find in the drugstores anymore

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I've never really searched out products that contain AHA's, but it may just be that the particular drugstore you are shopping at has stopped carrying that line. That was a commonality when I worked at Walgreen's months ago. The best thing to do is check the manufacturer's website to see if the product is truly discontinued. I'm not familiar with the St. Ive's product you're referring to, but Eucerin's line still contains a lotion containing AHA's. It's called Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Creme.

I really like AHA Souffle by Alpha Hydrox. It has 12% AHA w/peptides & green tea, available at Walgreens.

I didn't know that about the ph, interesting! Just googled the souffle and it is ph4.

I cannot seem to find Alpha Hydrox here anymore..MD Formulations is good and I like Neostrata and Reversa for facial care. As for body I like Kiss my Face's Alpha and Aloe lotion or Peaches and Cream.
