Skin with hyperpigmentation and dry skin.
If you want to deal with hyperpigmentation, then “Vital Albapearl” has to be applied twice a day. The first significant effects will appear after 6 weeks. After 8 or 12 weeks the bleaching effect will be even more apparent. NOTE: during the “Vital Albapearl” course of treatment, one is advised to avoid the sun and other sources of UV-radiation (like a solarium), in order to achieve the best result. As a protection against UV-radiation it is recommended to use “High Protection” from the “Sun with Sense“ series by Medex.
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.
Small salt-like molecule which binds water to itself and holds it in place. These characteristics also make it a valuable ingredient to the Natural Moisturing Factor, which is responsible for the natural moisture balance in the skin. L-Lactate 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 stereo-isomer L-Lactate. In higher concentrations L-Lactate’s skin-whitening characteristics clearly manifest themselves (>5%). This is because L-Lactate belongs to the so-called Melanogenetic Inhibitors (MI), which means that it prevents melanin (pigment) to develop in the epidermis. The L-Lactate doesn’t disable the enzyme Tyrosinase itself, instead it disables the enzym’s production, by preventing the expression of the Tyrosinase m-RNA. As a result the very first step towards pigment production is nipped in the bud.
