Unveiling the transformative properties of 6 underestimated acids in skincare
In this blog post, we will delve into the world of 6 underrated acids in skincare that often remain in the shadows of their popular counterparts.
Undoubtedly, online knowledge-sharing has its merits, but sometimes it falls short of providing the depth required. That's why we created the Skin Masterclass PRO Certification and Licensing Program. Our goal is to enrich your expertise, ensuring you know about the options available in creating a skincare routine for your clients.
So, let's dive in and explore these 6 lesser-known yet valuable acids that can provide your clients with a range of benefits:
Ellagic Acid: This superhero acid is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It excels at fighting UV-induced damage and keeping tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for skin pigment) in check. To boost sun protection and manage hyperpigmentation concerns, consider adding Ellagic acid to your client's morning routine.
Malic Acid: Acting as both an AHA and BHA, Malic acid is excellent for shedding dead skin cells. But its benefits go beyond exfoliation. It also enhances collagen and hyaluronic acid production, leading to more youthful-looking skin. When tackling signs of aging, recommend products with a pH range of 3.2 to 4 and introduce them gradually into the skincare routine.
Dioic Acid: Derived through bio-fermentation from oleic acid, Dioic acid is a game-changer for addressing dark spots. With just a 1% concentration, it regulates tyrosinase production and melanin transfer between cells. Combine Dioic acid with other anti-pigmentation ingredients like Vitamin C or Alpha Arbutin, and don't forget to emphasize the importance of sunscreen.
Tartaric Acid: A gentle exfoliator compared to glycolic acid, Tartaric acid helps shed old, sticky skin cells, revealing a smoother texture. If your client desires a smoother complexion but has sensitive skin, consider incorporating Tartaric acid alongside a PHA such as lactobionic acid.
Tranexamic Acid: Skilled at reducing redness by working on blood vessels, Tranexamic acid is also a champion in supporting the skin's barrier and recovery. Look for the liposomal formulation of TA and combine it with other anti-pigmentation ingredients for reducing ongoing hyperpigmentation. For clients dealing with acne, the combination of salicylic acid and TA can provide effective and sustainable results.
Citric Acid: Commonly found in skincare products as a pH regulator, citric acid belongs to the AHA family. It is suitable for clients with sensitive skin due to its larger molecular size. While not typically added as a skin exfoliant, it serves as a supporting ingredient in skincare products. In our PRO Certification and Licensing Program, we educate you on how to identify whether a product is a main active ingredient or a supporting ingredient.
