Alpha Hydroxyacid for the Tretment of Acne Prone Skin

Alpha Hydroxyacid for the Treatment of Acne Prone Skin

Alpha hydroxyacids have been shown in numerous studies to improve acne and can increase the thickness of sun damaged skin by 25%. The most common alpha hydroxyacids used for treatment of these problems are lactic acid and glycolic acid. Alpha hydroxyacids work very well when combined with Retin-A for the prevention of precancerous skin lesions and also this combination will reverse some of the changes of aging including brown sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

Instructions:

For the first week, use the product every other day to the face.
It is OK to use the alpha hydroxyacid in the morning. Men can use it as an after shave. Wait 15 minutes before applying make-up or sunscreen over top of the alpha hydroxyacid.
When using alpha hydroxyacid, apply to all of the skin in the area, not just to the spots you want to treat. This will help prevent new lesions.
When you put alpha hydroxyacid on your skin, it will burn for a few minutes. This is normal. If the burning is to much for you, then apply cool water to the skin before applying the alpha hydroxyacid.
If you are not experiencing any problems with the product after the first week of use, you may start using it every day.
Use of the alpha hydroxyacid on acne may make the pimples more inflamed (red). This is generally a good sign; the treatment is working.
If you like the product, you do not need an appointment to see the doctor. You can stop by the office during business hours to pickup more.
NeoStrata alpha hydroxyacid does not make you more sensitive to sunlight, it is similar to wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 2.
