What are Alpha Hydroxy Acids?
The discovery of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) founded by Dr. Eugene Vanscott and Dr. Ruey Yu technology, has revolutionized skincare. There are many exceptional skincare benefits with AHAs on daily use or also with glycolic acid peels, lunchtime peel procedures, even those with sensitive skin can benefit. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are a group of naturally occurring acids which are derived from certain plants and fruits, including sugar cane, apples, grapes, and citrus. These “fruit acids” have been used ofr hundreds of years as moisturizers and skin fresheners. Over the past 10 years, medical research has advanced our understanding of these acids and allows us to create better formulations of these products. In addition, we are now able to use these acids in specific programs to improve acne, dry skin, weathered sun damaged skin, blotchy pigmentation and fine wrinkles.
