Alpha Lipoic Serum actually repairs skin cells by removing cells that have been damaged by free radicals and acts as an antioxidant to prevent further cell damage and destruction.
How does ALA work?
Shrinks large skin pores and reduces facial redness
Activates enzymes that remove damaged collagen; removal of damaged collagen helps to restore a youthful appearance to the skin
Increases cell metabolism, which speeds up cell repair and results in smoother looking skin
Acts as a fat and water-soluble antioxidant (free radical fighter) and prevents damage to skin cells
Enhances the effects of the body's natural antioxidants
Stops the cell from producing damaging chemicals called cytokines
Promotes production of nitric oxide, a molecule that regulates blood flow to the skin. Nitric oxide results in improved circulation, which can reduce swelling and puffiness
MEDICAL FACTS ABOUT ALPHA LIPOIC ACID!!
Alpha lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant that is both lipid and water soluble.
Because it is both lipid and water soluble, it can reach all portions of the cell, including both the membrane and the nucleus.
Alpha lipoic acid is also involved in energy production on a cellular level, working in the mitochondria, assisting the citric acid cycle. This boosts the metabolism in aging cells, allowing the cell to repair itself and empty metabolic byproducts.
Alpha lipoic acid is also known for its ability to protect and preserve vitamin C and vitamin E levels in the skin, even with UV radiation exposure. Without alpha lipoic acid present, vitamin C and vitamin E levels steadily decrease, particularly when under UV radiation. The ability of alpha lipoic acid to protect these antioxidants in the skin furthers the level of free radical protection that alpha lipoic acid offers.
