2 minute read
Exfoliating acids like salicylic acid, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid effectively work alone, together and in combination with other acids like hyaluronic acid to benefit your skin in a number of ways! Explore how acids in skincare products help to exfoliate and hydrate your skin for a smoother, youthful, gorgeous looking complexion!
Glycolic acid is the smallest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) molecule, and when used on the skin, penetrates the epidermis and exfoliates the skin, sloughing off dead cells to reveal the new softer, smoother, even cells underneath.
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that is able to move deep into your pores to break up sebum, helping to unclog pores and purify the look of skin. It’s oil-soluble, making it great for oily combination skin types.
Bio agave acid is extremely gentle on your skin, which works to slough off dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, healthier looking complexion.
While many acid treatments use only one type of hydroxy acid, Charlotte’s NEW combined the benefits of an PHA, AHA and BHAs such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid together to provide a multi-layered resurfacing and exfoliating affect!
Hyaluronic acid is a well-known ingredient used in moisturisers, exfoliators, cleansers and even makeup! It is a sugar substance that your body naturally produces to retain moisture levels and hydration, but as you age, the amount your body produces reduces. Using skincare products that are enriched with hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate your skin, and when skin is hydrated, its elasticity may be improved for a plumper-looking appearance.
Like hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid provides INTENSE hydration to your skin! It’s 4x more hydrating that hyaluronic acid, and it creates a hydrated filter on the skin which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!
Charlotte’s NEW! Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial is enriched with an expert acid exfoliation blend plus a blend of hydrating, radiance-boosting ingredients!
Salicylic acid, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid work together in the formula to effectively slough off dead cells, exfoliate, resurface and hydrate your skin to reveal an INSTANT GLEAMING GLOW and radiant, smooth, plumper looking complexion!
