AHA, stands for alpha-hydroxy acid. At Eucerin, we use the AHA Glycolic acid, an acid originally derived from sugar cane. This peeling acid has a very small molecular size, makes skin smoother, more even and opens pores, without compromising on barrier structures of the skin. It promotes exfoliation by reducing cell adhesion in the epidermis and increasing cell turnover. Furthermore, it increases the biosynthetic capacity of collagen and builds support structure in the dermal matrix to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Lactic Acid (also known as Lactate) is part of skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) and a key component of skin’s protective acid mantle which regulates the pH value of skin. It absorbs and retains moisture within the outermost layer of the skin and so plays a vital role in skin condition. It is also comedolytic.
Glycolic Acid is a very common chemical peel used by many dermatologists. It is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or sugarcane derivative with an extremely small molecular size. It works by removing dead skin cells to even skin texture. The concentration of Glycolic Acid used in the Skin Refining Serum is a lower concentration than what is used in dermatological treatments for softer effects.
What is an AHA and Gluco-Glycerol ?
Eucerin® Anti-Pigment Cleansing Gel contains 2% AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), primarily used to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation is a process where the skin cells on the surface are shed off. By removing dead skin cells, new skin generation is stimulated. Gycyeryl Glucoside and Glycerin are both humectants helping to optimize moisture distribution in the skin. For the first time, Eucerin® offers a cleansing gel that prepares the skin to absorb the anti-pigment cream optimally. It allows the nourishing properties to work most effectively for a confident start to the day.
Why is exfoliation important?
Exfoliation, through chemical or physical means, is the removal process of excess corneocyte buildup. It stimulates cell turnover and results in a more polished, smoother, translucent surface.
