Lactic Acid Benefits
Lactic acid is our body's natural skin moisturizer, being natural to the human body dramatically improves the safety profile and results of the products.
Lactic acid is superior to all other AHAs (70-95% more effective than glycolic acid) at increasing hyaluronic acid deposition in the skin, and therefore is the AHA of choice for increasing the skin's natural moisture content, critical in the treatment of aging skin. Recent research has shown that AHAs stimulate skin moisturization via a natural cell "wound healing" mechanism and since
Lactic acid is the natural "cell signal" AHA, it produces even more dramatic results.
The Importance of Hyaluronic Acid
in the Skin
Hyaluronic Acid or HA (not to be confused with AHA) is one of the most important, if not the most important, macromolecules of the human body, and is absolutely vital to the creation and maintenance
of healthy skin. HA is a very large polymeric carbohydrate found in the extra cellular matrix (ECM) surrounding our skin cells and is able to bind thousands of times its molecular weight in water; in essence it is our skin's natural water retention complex, without it our skin would shrivel
up like a raisin. HA provides the vehicle that cells move through and is therefore vital to tissue
differentiation and wound healing. Our skin is an HA metabolic factory: it is always making HA, breaking it down, and recycling it. In fact, in about a four day period, we replace all of the HA in our skin. The natural trigger for the synthesis of HA by our skin is lactic acid. Lactic acid stimulates HA deposition in the skin at the greatest rate compared to all other AHAs, producing new HA in a natural way that makes your skin look healthy and radiant.
Advanced AHA: LCA Complex
LCA Complex
LCA Complex is a unique blend of pH-balanced lactic compound (Lactic acid + sodium lactate) with a Multi-Functional Antioxidant Sequence (MFAS) that delivers optimal anti-aging results.
LCA COMPLEX = Lactic Compound + MFAS
Lactic Compound
Because AHAs are acids, proper formulation is essential to deliver the desired benefits without
unnecessary irritation. Lactic Compound, a buffered mixture of Lactic acid and Sodium Lactate, is
pH -balanced to 3.8-4.4 (close to the pH of normal skin) by partial neutralization of the acid. Buffered Lactic Compound creates a reservoir of Lactic acid molecules, allowing a slower time released
delivery to the skin, thus making higher concentrations of Lactic acid safe and non-irritating to the skin for optimal results.
Multi-Functional Antioxidant Sequence (MFAS)
PRIORI's unique Multi-Functional Antioxidant Sequence contains the essential vitamin antioxidants necessary for optimal skin health:
- Vitamin A: enhances cell metabolism and increase cell turnover rate
- Vitamin C: antioxidant that stimulates collagen synthesis
- Vitamin E: antioxidant important to cell membrane protection
- Pro-Vitamin A: antioxidant that acts as a reservoir for Vitamin A synthesis
The MFAS is combined in a liposome delivery system that is time released, self-regenerating and stable in formulation. The human body recycles its antioxidants in order to get maximum benefits in a delicate balance of sequential regeneration. PRIORI's unique MFAS antioxidant combination is designed to best enhance the body's natural cell process.
