OASIS REJUVENATING EXFOLIANT – Glycolic Acid Line Alpha-hydroxy acids naturally occur in food products: lactic acid (in milk), citric acid (in fruits), tartaric acid (in grapes), and glycolic acid (in sugar cane). Glycolic acid in particular is beneficial for skin treatments. It reduces wrinkles, acne and hyper-pigmentation. Glycolic acid loosens and removes dead skin cells that make the skin look dull or tired. It dissolves from follicles the plugs that cause whiteheads and blackheads. It normalizes and lightens pigmentation made abnormal from hormones or the sun. Glycolic acid also increases the amount of collagen in the skin: it fills the skin with healthy living tissue and eliminates fine lines. Skin rejuvenates and holds a translucent appearance. Oasis Rejuvenating Exfoliant contains a high concentration of whole leaf Aloe Vera gel also. Aloe Vera has innate powers of penetration to carry other ingredients deeply into the skin. Aloe Vera is used with our Alpha-hydroxy acid products in tandem in order to facilitate deeper penetration of the acids and create more dramatic results in less time. Our chemists have also removed the aloin from the whole leaf aloe vera. Some people are allergic to the aloin in whole leaf aloe vera, so we have eliminated any chance of toxicity, in consideration of those who might show sensitivity. The Oasis Rejuvenating Exfoliant line offers preparations with different percentages of Glycolic acid. Use the appropriate concentration to yield optimal results on the skin. Acne clients are usually treated with a 40% Glycolic acid application on each visit. This loosens up the clogged pores and lightly peels the face. Clients with sun-damaged skin and dry patches, discoloration and wrinkles are also treated with a 40% Glycolic acid application. A series of six peels every two weeks will lighten discoloration, smooth some wrinkles, and rejuvenate the complexion. Attain the greatest results and use the professional treatment in conjunction with retail products, with lower concentrations of Glycolic acid. Use daily to smooth the skin and remove dead skin cells. No fragrance or color added. In order to enjoy the full benefits of our skin care products, we highly recommend to consult a skin care professional that can offer the most effective products for your specific skin type.
