Before using “alpha-Hycid Fruit Acid Gels” for a longer time, a sensibility test should be done by applying a little bit of product in the inside of the underarm, to exclude possible existing allergies. Only if this does not lead to strong reactions, treatment of larger surfaces can commence. Thereby “a-Hycid Gel 10% pH 3.8” is applied every other day (preferably in the evening) in a thin layer on the well cleansed skin. If too much gel is applied it can be washed off with water or a damp sponge. Wash it off after 5 minutes. When this application serves the pre treatment of a series of peelings with higher concentrated fruit acids conducted by a professional, the use of “a-Hycid Gel 10% pH 3.8” is stopped in most cases during this treatment period. Finally, at the end of this period “a-Hycid Gel 10% pH 3.8” serves as an after treatment gel.
L-Lactic Acid is an Alpha-hydroxy acid, which can be found in several kinds of fruit, like tomatoes and dairy products, like yoghurt. L-Lactic Acid is a natural stereo-isomer which also exists in the human body. Has a peeling effect, when used in higher concentrations. Stimulates the production of new cells in the epidermis. When compared to other alpha-hydroxy acids, L-Lactic Acid shows the best results in the treatment of hyperpigmentation of the skin (for instance glycolic acid is much less successful). L-Lactate derivatives (L-Lactic Acid) belong to the few natural substances, which - in higher concentrations - are known to counteract the production of the enzyme Tyrosinase itself. Tyrosinase happens to be the enzym which stimulates pigmentation of the skin, so by disabling that enzyme, the first step towards pigment production is simply ‘nipped in the bud’. Furthermore, L-Lactic Acid is responsible for the biosynthesis of ceramides in the skin, in a stereoselective way. High amounts of ceramides in the epidermis support the lipid barrier, which prevents dehydration of the skin. Curiously enough, the stimulation of the ceramide-biosynthesis only occurs on account of the natural stereoisomer L-Lactic Acid.
"Trinatrium salt of Citric Acid
Alpha-hydroxy acid containing antioxidant qualities. Exists in a variety of plants and for instance in cirtrus fruits. Stimulates the production of new cells in the epidermis. Is also used to adjust the pH value."
This ‘double’ alpha-hydroxy acid exists in mature wine. Ladies of the court of the French King Louis XIV were already familiar with the favourable effects of older wine on their skin, although they didn’t know it was the Tartaric Acid that caused them. It has a peeling effect, when used in higher concentrations. It stimulates the production of new cells in the epidermis and its antioxidant qualities protect the barrier function of the skin.
