Exfoliation isn’t just about removing dead skin cells, it’s a scientific process. But for people with sensitive skin, it can be challenging to navigate this journey.
1. Gentle exfoliation
When formulated in skincare products Amino acids work to break down the bonds between the dead skin cells. Unlike traditional chemical exfoliants , amino acids work in a milder manner. They target the connections between the dead cells specifically, causing the cells to release more naturally, without disturbing the healthier layers of the skin. This balanced shedding of dead skin cells promotes a smoother complexion without causing irritation or over-exfoliation, which can often be a concern for individuals with sensitive skin.
2. Skin barrier maintenance
Importantly, while gently exfoliating, amino acids also play a role in supporting the skin's barrier function. This means they help maintain the skin's strength and resilience, preventing excessive water loss and protecting it from external stressors, thus contributing to overall skin health.
3. Collagen and Elastin synthesis
Amino acids are essential for synthesizing proteins like collagen and elastin. Collagen provides structural support to the skin, contributing to its firmness and resilience. Elastin, on the other hand, maintains the skin's elasticity, ensuring it retains its flexibility and youthful appearance. +Real Amino Acid Complex toner supports these essential proteins, promoting healthier, more supple skin.
4. Hydration and moisture retention
Amino acids are hygroscopic, meaning they attract and retain moisture. This is vital for maintaining proper hydration levels in the skin. By preventing dryness, the toner helps preserve the skin's moisture balance. Adequate hydration is crucial for overall skin health and can contribute to fortifying the skin barrier, preventing issues like dryness and flakiness.
