Glycolic Acid
is a natural constituent of sugar cane. It is
the smallest molecule of the AHA family. Studies
have shown that the NeoStrata glycolic acid
products used in a daily regimen reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and make
skin look younger.
Citric Acid
is an anti-oxidant alpha and beta hydroxy acid
that is used in both foods and skin care
products. Its antioxidant benefits help minimize
the damaging effects of the sun and pollution.
Studies have shown citric acid to provide
significant anti-aging benefits like other AHA’s.
Citric acid formulations help reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Mandelic Acid
is an oil-controlling alpha hydroxyacid that has
anti-bacterial benefits that may be helpful for
acne prone skin. Studies have shown mandelic
acid to provide anti-aging benefits similar to
other AHA’s. NeoStrata formulations containing
mandelic acid have been shown to reduce facial
oil.
Gluconolactone,
a next generation AHA, is a non-irritating,
antioxidant Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that is
suitable for all skin types, including sensitive
skin. This PHA is a naturally occurring agent
found in the skin that is composed of
water-attracting hydroxyl groups to condition
and hydrate the skin. Gluconolactone
formulations reduce the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles, and smooth skin texture.
Glucoheptonolactone is an anti-oxidant
polyhydroxy acid that is slightly larger than
gluconolactone, and contains additional
water-attracting hydroxyl groups. Due to its PHA
structure, glucoheptonolactone is used for
moisturization, anti-aging and skin
conditioning.
Lactobionic acid
is the latest skin care technology to emerge
from the NeoStrata Company. This new polyhydroxy
'bionic' acid is a non-irritating, complex
Polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Lactobionic acid is a
potent antioxidant with humectant properties
that strongly attract and bind water. Its unique
film forming property provides softness and a
velvety smoothness to the skin. Lactobionic acid
formulations reduce the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles, and plump the skin layers.
