Why would you want alpha-lipoic acid in a skin cream?
A. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (or lipoic acid) is a potent antioxidant. It can also be taken in a dietary supplement. In one study with a face cream (like Holista Restorativ Anti-Wrinkle cream), high potency lipoic acid reduced mild-to-moderate wrinkles by up to 50 percent, whereas fine lines almost disappeared. In another study, it significantly improved the appearance of certain types of scars. Alpha Lipoic acid is less irritating than retinol-A and hydroxy acids other anti-wrinkle ingredients). Holista Restorativ Alpha-Lipoic cream is a natural, soothing, non-irritating formula, fragrance-free and with no artificial preservatives. It also contains vitamin A, natural source vitamin E and vitamin C esters to protect and repair the skin.
