WHAT ARE ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are derived from naturally-occurring acids found in nature such as fruit, sugar cane and milk.(Lactic acid, Glycolic acid, Salycic acids) Throughout the ages, women have turned to these natural acids to improve the integrity of their skin. AHAs uncover fresh, natural skin that glows with new softness and silky texture.
Cleopatra's flawless skin was attributed to her famous sour milk baths and the ladies of the French Court of Louis XIV applied aged wine to their faces achieving a luxuriously soft and blemish-free complexion.
AHAs slow down the photo-aging process of skin that is accelerated by excessive stress, damaging UV rays and environmental hazards. Designed to reverse the negative effects associated with aged and photo-damaged skin.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AHAs?
- WRINKLE RETALIATION - AHAs remove dead skin cells in the outer epidermal layer which accentuates lines and wrinkles.
- SOFTEN UP - AHAscontain skin smoothing and toning components creating finer, smoother and younger-looking skin.
- GETTING CLEAR - AHAs loosen acne lesions allowing sebum to flow to the skin in a continuous and uninformed manner reducing the formation of new acne lesions.
HOW DO AHAs IMPROVE YOUR SKIN?
- EXFOLIATES - AHAs break down the intercellular bonds or glue-like substance that binds to dead skin cells allowing the outer layer of dead cells to gently slough or fall off. This exfoliation process also prevents the blocking of pores.
- STIMULATES NEW CELL PRODUCTION - AHAs stimulate the production of new skin cells to come to the surface faster increasing cell turnover time. AHAs accelerate the emergence of young, healthier-looking cells to the surface by removing impurities and accumulated cell debris.
- PROMOTES PRODUCTION OF COLLAGEN - The application of AHAs affect both the surface layer of skin and the deeper dermis layer. AHAs increase epidermal and dermal firmness and thickness, evening out fine lines and wrinkles.
- REDUCES APPEARANCEOF AGE SPOTS - AHAs reverse the appearance of aging over time by reducing darkened sun and age spots.
- INCREASES MOISTURIZING ACTION - AHAs act as humectants by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. These hydrated AHAs increase the water content of the skin thus moisturizing the outer layer of the epidermis.
