Ep. 31: The Secret Behind Controlling the Delivery of Acids in Skincare
Description
Traditionally, free, unbuffered acids have been associated
with some pretty negative side effects like irritation, inflammation, superficial burn and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Yet, the more you learn about the chemistry of acids, the more you learn about how acids truly work in the skin and why buffering significantly harnesses their ability to effectuate the regenerative effects we seek when correcting and managing undesired skin conditions.
When it comes to ACIDS working effectively in skincare formulas and professional solutions, the holy grail is to maximise the potential yield of protons (so keeping the acids in their free form), yet carefully calibrate the formula to work with the most precise activity, ensuring negative side effects are minimised.
This episode of The Power of Protons will take you on a behind the scenes tour of the engine powering pHformula, the PH-DVC™ and they key to controlling the delivery of acids into the skin.
