Why Do Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Make Your Skin Glow?

If you want to be familiar with your skin care, we have an important ingredient for you: Alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs. These skin care products are a group of natural acids and chemical peels that give you the coveted, radiant complexion when you start your normal skin care routine (WebMD). The gentlest alpha hydroxy acid in skin care, lactic acid, is an important part of the new Eminence Organics Mangosteen collection and our proprietary lactic acid complex, formulated to reveal your best and most radiant skin. Not on your radar yet? This is how these acids work and why they reveal your inner radiance:

1. Removes dead skin cells

Lactic acid reappears on the skin by breaking down the "glue" that holds the dead layer on the skin together. The acid dissolves dead skin cells and promotes a lighter complexion. You can experience the results of lactic acid Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% in an authorized Eminence Spa. This professional peeling removes surface deposits with immediate results and without downtimes – even for sensitive skin.

2. Shows fresh new cells

By removing the dead skin cell layer, lactic acid reveals fresh young skin cells underneath. When new skin cells come to the surface, you increase the performance of your complexion and restore your luminosity. Feel the effectiveness of lactic acid Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser, which removes the surface of the skin without covering it and makes it soft and smooth.

3. Brightens the skin

Exfoliation can revitalize your skin, from boring and tired to radiant and healthy. When lactic acid removes your dead skin cells, your complexion becomes visibly lighter and your skin tone even. After using our mangosteen collection for 30 days, 90% of the respondents agreed that their skin looked radiant.

4. Gently exfoliate

Lactic acid is safe for all skin types and the gentlest of all alpha hydroxy acids. However, it works effectively on your complexion. Although lactic acid is often obtained from milk, the acid in our mangosteen collection is actually made from vegetable sugar, and every product in this collection is vegan.

5. Helps the skin retain moisture

Alpha hydroxy acids not only hydrate the skin, some dermatologists believe it too Alpha hydroxy acids improve the skin's ability to store moisture, so that the tissue retains its soft, padded firmness (Reader's Digest). Lactic acid is the most moisturizing of all alpha-hydroxy acids.
