In the next episode of "The Power of Protons," we're diving deep into the world of acids – most specifically, how to calculate the TRUE strength of a skin care product or treatment that contains AHAs and BHAs!

Forget concentration alone, or even the overall pH of the solution; it's time to decode the often-overlooked pKa values of the acids in the formula and their ability to release protons.

We're demystifying the chemistry behind pH, pKa, and proton mobility, revealing how these factors shape the efficacy of your favorite skincare products and 'peeling' solutions and exploring what the process of 'buffering' does to the acids to unveil the most modern approach to controlled skin resurfacing.

This episode will reshape your view towards working with acids on the skin and equip you with important resources that you probably didn't learn at college!
