Product summary

"Alpha-H - After Hours AHA Moisturiser" is effective for: Exfoliation, Moisturizing, Evens skin tone and Anti-aging

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (gluconolactone 0.20% - 0.40%, lactic acid 0.25% - 0.45% and glycolic acid 2.30% - 2.80%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). PHAs (gluconolactone) especially are great for improving skin hydration. They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
  • This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.05% - 0.15%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
