An Overview of Lipoacid® - Free Radical Scavenger System
In the field of dermocosmetics there has recently been increasing interest in substances with a radical scavenging activity, which means they are capable of combating the proliferation and development of free radicals. The use of these substances in cosmetics is demonstrated by scientific evidence that an increase in the concentration of free radicals in skin tissue (caused by endogenous and exogenous factors) may determine a series of undesirable effects of an aesthetic and pathological nature. Skin ageing, which appears in the form of wrinkles and a reduction in the skin’s ability to remain moisturised and firm, is caused by environmental events, such as ultra-violet radiation, delipidation caused by the sun, wind and cold, and by genetic and physiological events, mainly redox phenomena which cause the formation of free radicals. Hence, inhibiting the negative action of free radicals means maintaining the skin’s well-being and beauty, and preventing and helping combat signs of ageing.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a highly potent (if not, the most active) free radical scavenger. Unchecked, free radicals lead to early skin cell death and more rapid aging.
Lipoacid® fights the causes of aging and helps maintain and promote healthy, youthful skin.
Lipoacid® has a firming affect on the skin by increasing the skin cells
water holding potential. The ingredients help fix water in the surface skin
cell layer and enhance moisture loss control.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: A naturally occurring substance in the body. It is the most effective in a new generation of antioxidants that can act in both the water and fat parts of the cell. It can also promote Vitamin C and Vitamin E in the skin. Lipoic Acid penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin. It improves barrier function to moisture loss and inhibits the formation of free radicals.
Lipoacid® combines Alpha Lipoic Acid with Glucuronic Acid and Acetyl Glucosamine, which are direct precursors in the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid, which has a firming effect on the skin by increasing skin cells water holding potential.
Saccharide Isomerate and Hyaluronic Acid help fix water in the surface skin cell layer and enhance moisture loss control.
