7. Isotropic
In Greek speak, iso means equal and tropos means direction. Put them together and apply them to skincare, formulas that are isotropic are harmonious with every cell of the human skin.
The ingredients of isotropic skincare replicate the cells contained in the skin when it is at ideal health. This also means active ingredients will be delivered with less irritation and less reactions of sensitivity.
8. L-Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin C is what we call this anti-oxidant around the block. Think of Vitamin C as Pac Man, munching all the nasty pests off of your skin. It will help boost the immunity of your skin cells, even out skin tone and preserve collagen.
9. Lipids
Lipids are oils or fats. They are a common base ingredient in skincare and have the advantage of being able to easily integrate into the skin structure. Common lipids are beeswax and wool grease. They can be used to deliver active ingredients into the deeper layer of the skin, soften the outer layer and help keep hydration within the skin.

Any ideas on what AHA products can be used at home to get rid of old skin layers.
Great tips! Just started getting into my new routine…
And this is why I love samples… Nothing beats trying before buying.
It’s so great living in an age that creates skincare that is actually good for our skin.
Agreed on that – imagine what could be around the corner!!
