Alpha Hydroxy Acids in anti wrinkle creams became popular in the early 90's as a way to combat over exposure to the sun and elements in an ever-increasing, age-sensitive generation. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are found naturally in certain fruits and milk products, so it was believed they were safe due to their natural occurrence. Recent arguments have been that it is important that skin that has been exposed to acid peels, natural or not, is more sensitive to sun exposure and could increase the risks of skin cancers.
Because wrinkles are caused by dead, dry surface skin cells that shrivel and are no longer hydrated and plump, the alpha hydroxy acid control methods slough off this dead skin and allow younger, new skin to surface. This is a topical solution that rids the appearance of the dead skin, however, natural aging shortens the life of the skin cell's ability to retain its vitamins, elastin and collagen.
Repetitive facial gestures like squinting, smile lines, frown lines, eyebrow lines, are usually deeper in the skin and usually in the underlying muscles. This makes the skin cells form a ripple effect over time. Various topical anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams, can be a short-term remedy as they will only affect upper levels of skin cell arrangements.
Alpha Hydroxy acids are an exfoliate that remove the outer dead skin to bring newer skin cells to the surface. These newer skin cells are free of the finer lines that first start to surface. However, some people could be sensitive to Alpha Hydroxy acid treatments and this could result in redness, blistering or itchiness which can worsen.
It is important to know whether this is a good method to chose for anti-aging creams or anti-wrinkle creams, based on the individual skin types. For somebody that already has dry skin, this could produce drier skin and cause more flakiness, when they may need a hydrating or moisturizing treatment instead. If you do not have a dermatologists suggestion to try alpha hydroxy acids, you may want to be sure that this is the proper method to try, instead of deep moisturizing treatments first.
A lot of the over-the-counter alpha hydroxy acid treatment solutions may come in the form of a microdemabrasion kit. This removes the thinner, outer layer of skin by applying a chemical peel, then followed by a neutralizer to stop any acid action. This is followed with a deep moisturizer, or anti-aging cream or anti wrinkle cream, depending on what product you like.
This treatment will give the appearance of younger skin, but is only a temporary fix. Prices will vary with all products and the saying 'you get what you pay for' does not necessarily apply to skin care. It is best to do some research into what works best, perhaps taking into account things like testimonials. Remember to stop if there is any redness, flakiness or itchiness that lasts more than 2 or 3 days.
