The Science Behind LHA Cleansing Gel
The Science of Exfoliation
Exfoliation is an essential step to any routine. An effective exfoliation removes dead skin cells while boosting cell turnover and collagen. The process also helps ingredients deliver more effectively on the skin and can improve skin tone, clogged pores, or visible signs of aging. To keep skin radiant, exfoliate up to three times a week with LHA Cleansing Gel.
Choosing Hydroxy Acids
Hydroxy acids are a powerful ingredient in chemical exfoliants that are clinically proven to improve visible signs of aging. There are three common types of hydroxy acids:
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) promote cell renewal by evenly exfoliating the outer layer of skin.
Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) target oily or acne-prone skin to refines pores and reduce the formation of acne.
Lipo hydroxy acids (LHA) slowly penetrate skin to restores collagen levels, exfoliate skin, and decongest pores.
