At the forefront of Elucent's Anti Ageing formulations are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). They are scientifically proven to work by accelerating the skin natural process of exfoliation and increasing the natural rejuvenation process to reveal younger and healthier looking skin.
What do AHAs do?
AHAs, the key ingredients across the Elucent Anti Ageing range, are dynamic skin renewal compounds that work to improve skin texture, firmness and tone whilst helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Elucent Anti Ageing range uses a combination of glycolic acid and lactic acid - two types of AHAs that have been clinically proven to be effective at improving the appearance of the skin.
Glycolic Acid is one of the most commonly used AHAs in skincare. It has a very low molecular size, which allows it to effectively penetrate skin. The dead skin cells that bind with the skin are removed by glycolic acid by loosening the "glue" that sticks the dead cells with the skin. Shedding dead cells faster also promotes the emergence of new cells.
Lactic Acid can be found in milk. We all know that milk baths have been popular throughout the ages to help achieve beautiful skin. Lactic acid is a good skin moisturiser as it helps retain water in the skin. It is also a good exfoliator of dead skin cells. It can be used in combination with other AHAs in skin care products.
AHAs work in 3 ways:
Over a course of 21 days, testing was conducted on 50 women aged 31-52. In the trial, a combination of Elucent Anti-Ageing Gentle Cleanser, Elucent Anti-Ageing Day Moisturiser, Elucent Anti-Ageing Night Moisturiser and Elucent Anti-Ageing Eye Cream was used daily.
The results:
Vitamins are essential for our everyday wellbeing on the inside. But did you know that certain vitamins have a positive impact on the outside too? That's why Elucent products utilise the power of vitamins to help work wonders on your skin every time you apply them.
AHAs may cause mild and temporary tingling to the skin on application. This is normal. If your skin is unaccustomed to AHA products it is important to begin with the lowest level of AHAs before moving to the higher levels.
When you begin to use your desired combination of Elucent Anti Ageing daily essentials and complementary products, please refer to the table below as a suggested routine to slowly familiarise your skin with AHA products during the first 14 days.
