Natural source of fruit acids (AHAs) from botanical extracts suitable for all skin types due to their corrective and balancing action.

The special blend of AHAs used in JK Secret Cosmeceutics formulations show maximum efficacy with minimum irritancy.

AHAs have been shown to promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal.

The primary action of AHAs lies in their remarkable ability to weaken the ‘glue’ that hold dead skin cells together. The built-up top layers of skin are removed, allowing healthier cells to come to the surface quicker. This means that the dead cells can be shed from the surface of the skin, resulting in skin that appears fresher, smoother, and younger.

As if that is not enough, alpha hydroxy acids have other amazing properties. They are highly effective moisturizers in their own right and are responsible for the immediate skin softening effect felt on the skin when you first use an AHA product. When topically applied, AHAs stimulates collagen synthesis and boost skin elasticity. Isn’t that exactly what you want as your skin starts showing signs of aging?

Sun damage in particular causes the top layer of the skin to thicken. This creates a dull, rough texture and ‘leathery’ appearance on the surface of the skin. AHAs gradually remove this thickened layer, revealing fresh new skin cells underneath. Skin feels softer & has a smoother texture with continued use.

Benefits in a nutshell:

• AHAs improve the functioning of the skin so other actives are better absorbed into the skin
• Gives skin a smoother texture & younger appearance
• Increases collagen production in the skin
• Reduces skin discolorations, like age spots & pigmentation
• Evens out skin tone
• Water-binding properties means they are excellent moisturisers, especially for dry & dehydrated skin types
• Unclogs pores – especially great for oily / acne skins
• Improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin

PS: The new skin cells are more vulnerable to sun damage, so remember that you must avoid extreme exposure to the sun and use sunscreen every day to protect the fresh skin.

PPS: AHAs are used at concentrations that are effective yet safe in JK Secret Cosmeceutics.
