Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Alpha Hydroxy Acids are a family of naturally occurring mild acids that work as exfoliants. By speeding up the skin’s own natural shedding process (which slows down as we age), they encourage the skin to slough off dead cells, allowing newer ones to reach the surface more quickly and evenly. Glycolic acid, the AHA of choice, is a discriminatory exfoliator, as it only affects the dead cells.

- Glycolic acid is the AHA of choice. Its small molecular size makes it effective in removing the build-up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. Level 2 contains 8% glycolic acid and an ideal pH for better results
- The Amphoteric SystemTM controls the release of the glycolic acid to minimize irritation and tingling
- SPF 15 protects against UVA and UVB rays
The lower the pH level is in glycolic acid products, the deeper and more effective the exfoliation (3.5 is the minimum allowed). All NeoStrata's glycolic acid products are formulated with a pH range between 3.5 - 4.0. Gradually build skin tolerance the first two weeks you use the product.
