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.
D-Panthenol, Pro-vitamin B5, from Medex is of course of pharmaceutical quality and - according to the Medex philosophy - also with the “right” dextrorotatory stereo-isomer, which by nature is double as active as the racemic mixture. D-Panthenol reduces the redness of the skin (erythema) and is responsible for the repair of the skin after sunburn, as well as it supports skin regeneration. For acne-prone skin: D-Panthenol is known to help with the reduction of skin pore size as well as the reduction of excessive sebum production. D-Panthenol helps strengthen hair, retain moisture, and improves the texture of damaged hair.
"Pro-vitamin A
Stimulates new epidermal growth and is converted in the sebaceous glands into vitamin A (= Retinol!), which helps against excessive keratin formation. Is also an anti-oxidant."
Moisturising molecule with an 8 carbon atom tail. Owes its moisturising properties to the 2 Hydroxyl groups (-OH) plus the ester-group. Under special circumstances Glyceryl Caprylate has a distinguished anti-bacterial (and also preservative) effect, which enables the formulation of very mild skin care products, that even show activity against certain skin problems in which micro-organisms are involved, such as acne.
Anti-bacterial and sebum regulating component which, in cooperation with UNDECYLENOYL GLYCINE, causes a decrease in the production of sebum as well as the destruction of microorganisms. Because of their qualities both components have a very favourable effect on acne, as they tackle two important aspects of acne together. First, the components have a deterring effect on the activity of 5α:-Reductase. The enzyme 5α:-Reductase plays an important part in the development of acne, as it is responsible for a gradual increase in the production of sebum. In sabotaging this enzyme, the two components CAPRYLOYL GLYCINE and UNDECYLENIC GLYCINE cause the sebum production to decrease. Second, in a combined effort CAPRYLOYL GLYCINE and UNDECYLENIC GLYCINE create a favourable bactericidal effect, because they destroy the Propionibacterium Acnes, a skin bacterium which has a key role in the development of acne. Furthermore, it’s important to know that the qualities mentioned above are also applicable in shampoos for dandruff treatment.
Pigment with astringent qualities. Is also fungicidal. Zinc (obtained from zinc salts) also has a beneficial effect in the treatment of acne. Micronized variants of zinc oxide are used as UV-filter, due to their capacity to reflect sun radiation.
