It works on many different levels. Firstly the Glycolic Acid works to dissolve the ionic bonds that hold dead skin cells together. The cells are then able to very gently be sloughed off to allow new healthy cells to the surface.
In the same way, you might prune old growth from a rose bush to allow new buds to grow, thereby improving the life and the look of your rose garden.
When old dead skin cells are removed the appearance of fine lines is dramatically reduced and the skin retains a healthy glow and smoother appearance.
We use Glycolic Acid in our formulations as it is found to be one of the safest and most effective Alpha Hydroxy Acids, due to its small molecule size. This means it can be absorbed quickly into the skin and then work as a delivery vehicle for other active ingredients contained in Alpha-H – ingredients that are designed to restore moisture, elasticity,and suppleness to the skin.
I am writing to say THANK YOU for such a beautiful and effective range of skincare your Alpha-H is. I can honestly say it is the BEST range I have used, and like a lot of women I have spent so much money on skincare over the years and most of it unfortunately has been wasted.
Originally started on Alpha-H about 2 years ago and (also like a lot of other women) chopped and changed and experimented with other brands only to be disappointed and making my skin worse. Now, I won't use any other skincare as my skin is looking better than it has for a long long time. At nearly 40 and with a lots of years spent in the sun (and just general wear and tear) I love pampering my skin with Alpha-H and also actually being able to see a result. It really is my bit of luxury and it also makes me feel just that little bit better about myself.
Once again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
