Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Wrinkles
Alpha Hydroxy Acids...BUT...there are several types of AHA to choose from
and, of course, many different strengths, as well. Some AHA formulas make your
skin "flaky and peeling," while others do not. Also, what about the
sun and AHA? The answers below will clear it up for you once and for all.
AHA
I have used an Alpha Hydroxy Acid skin cream on my face and neck and have been
touting its benefits for 15 years. I truly believe the OLEDA Formula I 15%
AHA cream is the best on the market, and I hold up my 71-year-old skin to
you to prove it. Here's why: the OLEDA Formula has 5 different AHA in it
to make sure we get the most and best benefits possible from the combination.
They are Lactic, Citric, Tartaric, Malic and Glycolic. This mix works very
well.
 Alpha Hydroxy Acid helps dissolve the bond, the "glue" as it were,
that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. It helps repair the aging
or damaged lower cellular level because its molecules are tiny enough to penetrate
into the deeper layers of the skin. It helps the underlying tissues become
firm for greater elasticity.
Collagen is a natural protein that provides structural support. The fibers
of collagen are woven together like threads in fabric to form a framework into
which new cells can grow. AHA helps to stimulate and maintain these cells so
that the skin appears softer, fuller and smoother. It helps diminish age spots,
lines, wrinkles and sun damage, as well as tighten pores and help correct both
dry and oily skin.
The Strength
Some "AHA" creams have as low as 1% or 2% concentration...forget
about getting rid of wrinkles and lines with such formulae. Then there are
those that claim they have 20%...be very careful of these. My laboratory and
I chose 15%, which is high, but we added 2 conditioners to soften any side
effects and to keep the skin soft and beautiful during treatments. Maintaining
a pH factor of 4.5, this balance is perfect and it works without the harsh
side effects some are known to have, such as irritation and skin "peeling
or flaking" rather than quietly sloughing off. This formula is also strong
enough to plump up the flattened cells under the skin to give a more youthful
appearance.

The Sun
While using AHA you must be very careful of the sun, since your skin will be
more susceptible to it. You should avoid the sun as much as possible anyway
to prevent skin aging in general, as well as possible skin cancer. While
you're using AHA, make sure you use a proper sunscreen on any exposed area.
For outdoor sports activities while using AHA wear a hat for added protection.
When not to use AHA
A makeup foundation or powder cannot be worn over a good Alpha Hydroxy Acid
formula, so you must use it at night or when you are not wearing makeup.
The AHA formula that is strong enough, and has conditioners, will cause your
makeup to be uneven and splotchy...so just apply AHA before bedtime.
Another Anti Aging Expert says:
I'm happy to say that OLEDA CELL-abration Formula I Alpha Hydroxy cream has
become one our best selling products. But, there are some people who might
still be skeptical. For those of you who are just not sure, I would like
to refer you to the Oprah Winfrey Show of May 3, 2005. You can get a copy
of the transcript, even download it, at www.oprah.com, which will take you
to her home page. From there, click on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in
the left menu, then, on the right, click on the "Archives." This
show was all about anti aging.
One of Oprah's guests was Dr. Michael Roizen, a renown anti aging specialist.
During his interview, Dr. Roizen talked about the very positive effects of
Alpha Hydroxy Acid on wrinkles and damaged skin and that AHA ingredients are
really the only ones that can help with wrinkles. He also mentioned how it
helps produce new skin, which makes us look younger.
You would be surprised to learn what Dr. Roizen had to say about all the claims
made by the makers of those many expensive creams and lotions that do not contain
AHA. Oprah seemed to be, too. And, when you see this dialog for yourself, perhaps
then you'll believe me, if you don't by now!
Clarification
But there are some clarifications I need to mention here. When Oprah and Dr.
Roizen talk about the effect of products without AHA, they're referring to
wrinkles and lines in the face and neck. Don't confuse this with needing
other applications of night cream and day cream that are very necessary to
maintain your skin in a youthful, healthy condition, in conjunction with
AHA.
