Description
Our AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) Fruit Acid Complex, is a concentrated blend of five botanical extracts: bilberry, sugar cane, lemon, orange, and sugar maple . These botanical extracts in our AHA fruit complex deliver five natural AHAs to the skin — From bilberry (Lactic acid), Sugar cane (Glycolic acid), Orange and Lemon (citric acid) and Sugar Maple (Malic and Tartaric acid ) — for dramatically younger and fresher looking skin.
Alpha hydroxy acids have been shown to promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. Fruit acid complex are considered skincare superheroes because you literally feel and see an immediate difference in your skin! they effectively combat signs of aging, help exfoliate, brighten, and improve tone and texture almost instantly.Â
Women have historically used ingredients from these fruits to clarify and strengthen their skin, remove dead skin cells and reveal healthy new skin without knowing they were actually using AHAs. Egyptian women took baths in milk in order to improve their skin. French women in the court of Louis XIV washed their faces with old wine for the same reasons. Old fashioned facial masks made from fruit, honey or yogurt were also unknowingly taking advantage of AHAs as their active ingredients. Alpha hydroxy acids are commonly found and isolated from fruits of all sorts. That is why they are referred to as Fruit Acids.  Alpha Hydroxy Acids function in two distinct fashions:
First, they improve moisturization, they can act as a simple humectant that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. When applied to the skin, Their natural humectant properties draw moisture from the atmosphere to hydrate the skin and bring moisture to the outer layer of the epidermis and consequently make the skin softer and more flexible.
Secondly, they act by reducing corneocyte adhesion and accelerating cell proliferation within the deeper layer of the skin. This exfoliating action of AHAs occurs as a result of their ability to break the bonds between dead skin cells that form at the surface of the skin. Skin normally has a dead layer of cells at its surface, and AHAs can speed up the normal process of skin cell regeneration and sloughing to reveal younger and fresher skin.
With regular use, Fruit Acid Complex, can help stimulate collagen synthesis and bring a youthful vitality and brightness to dull and lifeless skin. Fruit acid complex is the way to smooth, wrinkle-free skin, truly revealing a rejuvenated complexion!
