Main active ingredients AHA complex Glycolic acid in cyclodextrins
Main active ingredients • A.H.A. Complex:

Lactic acid Citric acid Tartaric acid Glycolic acid
Corneous layer cells are tied with ionic bonds between the proteic chains on the surface of plasmatic membranes. Ionic bond is an electrostatic bond between positively and negatively charged molecules . Protein _ chain + corneocyte
• Glycolic acid peelings completely distroy upper corneous layer layers. • High alpha-hydroxy acid concentrations separate proteic chains between corneocytes.

Results:Immediate effect from the outside to the inside, forced exfoliation.
• In Performance line • alpha-hydroxy acids concentration • is calibrated • to respect natural cutaneous exfoliation
Reduced acid concentration slightly separates protein chains, acid can form a link between the two chains. AHA

Cyclodextrines properties
• Controlled time release of glycolic acid with a consequent prolonged efficacy • Lower acid glycolic concentration in free form present in every moment, with a consequent reduction of irritating effects • Formation of a protective film on skin, that reduces water loss.
