Exfoliating the skin is essential in removing the dull and aged appearance of dead skin cells. One of the most effective methods of exfoliation is by using alpha-hydroxy acids to peel away the upper layer of the epidermis, exposing fresh and radiant new skin below. Active Skin AHA Fruit Acid Cream is an exfoliating formula that uses 3 of the most effective and natural alpha-hydroxy acids to deliver a superior exfoliation experience, in a soothing and skin nourishing cream balanced with a rich blend of natural fruit oils. All three acids - Glycolic Acid, Pyruvic Acid, and Lactic Acid contribute to the deep penetrating and fast acting skin desquamation action. This powerful formula removes dead skin and revives the complexion in a delicate and calculated manner. This is a natural and most effective method of skin revival and applied once a night can rapidly help bring out the youthful radiant looks. Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring trace component in sugarcane, grapes and other fruits. Being the first in the alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids, it is one of the smallest molecules with acid functionality, which enables it to easily penetrate the skin. This useful organic acid reacts with the upper layer of the epidermis by weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold dead skin cells together, dislodging them to reveal fresh new cells beneath. Lactic Acid is another wonderful alpha-hydroxy acid that usually occurs in sour milk but is also known to be found in molasses due to the partial conversion of sugars in apples and other fruits. It is a very effective exfoliator having a natural affinity to the skin and allows softening the skin surface. Pyruvic Acid being the third alpha-hydroxy acid included in this wonderful formula. As an intermediate in sugar metabolism found in cane sugar juice, and a precursor to lactic acid, Pyruvic acid is excellent for treating oily and problematic skin, with excellent dead skin removal abilities. Combined and balanced with Avocado oil, Soybean Oil and Squalane pressed from Olives, allows for exfoliation action to be moderated and ensure no discomfort, enabling the overall health of freshly exposed skin cells. These known natural moisturisers allow for any loss of moisture through exfoliation and assist to stimulate the proliferation of collagen which in turn has a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines. Apply daily to clean dry skin and avoid the inner eye area. If applying during the day please ensure you use an SPF.
