AHAs – glycolic acid and lactic acid are effective at removing dead skin cells and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic acid is slightly stronger than lactic acid, so it works better for deeper wrinkles and other signs of aging. Lactic acid is gentler and less irritating, so it’s ideal for sensitive skin. AHAs work best when used topically. For example, our Ageless Perfection Cream contains minimal amount of alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C, and green tea extract for all the nourishing goodies in the formula to reach deeper.
This makes it easier for the dead cells to slough off the surface of the skin. Proper exfoliation is critical to healthy looking skin, and alpha hydroxy acids provide a quick and easy way to gently exfoliate dead skin cells.
