Solitary use of a glycolic acid cream ( the most known and widely used alpha hydroxy acid, AHA) even though fairly helpful in scars treatment , does not appear to be very promising. Its impact in improvement of skin pigmentation and age spots as well as lines and wrinkles is contributory but periodic. PH and concentration of products, which vary greatly, are two major factors in determining efficacy of glycolic acid treatment for acne scars. AHA's such as glycolic acid at high-concentration and low-pH produce epidermolysis, a physical separation of the epidermis from the dermis in sheet-like masses (also known as the peeling effect). In lower concentrations despite a low pH, however, the effect of AHAs is not as dramatic. Lower concentration of glycolic acid may reduce the strength of intercellular corneocyte bonds, disrupting the adhesion of corneocytes in the lower stratum corneum. More rapid cell loss and sloughing, which is the basis of exfoliation, is the net result. On the other hand, combination therapy with AHA's, BHA's, and retinoids simultaneously works as effective resurfacing approach to acne scars. These agents do the job of skin renewal and help with scars removal. They make skin renewal to happen faster than usual. One renewing agent won't be as effective, since skin adapts to most renewing agents within a few months especially to AHA's. However, when you use different renewing agents this reaction does not occur. Another factor that reduces effectiveness of different renewing agents is pH neutralization of the glycolic acid product. Considering limitation of a glycolic acid cream why glycolic acid 30% is part of Scars Treatment kit? A glycolic acid product may be used by plastic surgeons to perform a chemical peeling whether to get rid of scars or as a rejuvenating treatment. This is a strong peeling agent, even though not strongest. There are 50% and 70% solutions as well, performed only by professionals. We have experienced once-a-week peelings with glycolic acid 30% at home could be very helpful in reduction of facial scars and creating a smooth skin. This serum is basically a boost to your at home regimen. It enhances the penetration of scars serum and its effectiveness. Care must be exercised using "glycolic acid Serum" in that it is a strong acidic solution. It should not be used on red or irritated skin. Use of scars serum can get your skin red from time to time. Ensure that your skin is not red before use of "glycolic acid serum". So basically you use this treatment serum every night, Day Effect every day and Glycolic30% once a week. There are a few more helpful skin care tips such as once a week scrubbing, which are very helpful. Three-minutes massage of "Scars Treatment" over your entire face and neck is of paramount importance as well. This massage aids even absorption of therapeutic ingredients and increases circulation of the skin. Also Day Effect (among the three piece kit) is a nourishing moisturizer which helps to loosen flakes and moisturize your skin as well as helping your skin to rebuild itself by providing it with nutrients it needs the most. Making the epidermal cells working harder requires providing them with more nutrients. "Day Effect" is this provider. It is enriched with marine proteins, essential fatty acids such as GLA (gamma linolenic acid), amino acids and minerals. "Day Effect" is also a soothing vehicle and heals the skin with soothing botanical extracts. We believe all three elements of three-piece treatment for scarring are necessary for an effective treatment. Please note this kit is not a miracle to remove your facial scars completely in a month. However, in six months considerable difference in depth of your scars is readily recognizable. Also your skin tone and texture will be dramatically changed. AHAs also increase sensitivity to the sun by removing the upper, protective stratum corneum. Use of sunscreens during the day is essential for those who use the serum at night.
