Malic acid is one specific type of alpha-hydroxy acid AHA, a fruit-derived acid that’s naturally found in apples as well as pears. 
L-Malic acid is a humectant, mild exfoliant, and skin brightening active. Reduces acne and scarring and improves skin tone

It also has anti-aging properties – it increases cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and has been found to minimize wrinkles, and also functions as a buffering agent.

 Unlike other AHAs, L-Malic Acid is mild, restores the pH balance of the skin, and is suitable for sensitive skin.

MAIN BENEFITS:Exfoliates dead cells on the outermost layer of the skin and promotes cell turnover, leaving skin brighter and more even, and also helping to keep pores unclogged.

WHO SHOULD USE IT: Anyone looking to fade discoloration and/or achieve more radiant skin, as well as those who are acne prone. It’s also a good choice for those with sensitive skin and for whom other acids may be too irritating. 

WORKS WELL WITH: Other alpha-, as well as beta-hydroxy acids at lower doses for synergistic effects, as well as hydrating ingredients such as glycerine and hyaluronic acid. Palep also likes pairing with vitamin C to boost the brightening benefits.

PS Be cautious when using it with other acids, or notoriously harsh or irritating ingredients such as retinoids.
