Lactobionic acid, azelaic acid and gluconolactone 25% pH 3.5

All-in-one lactobionic acid, azelaic acid and gluconolactone 25% pH 3.5 is a product that strengthens capillaries, reduces redness and soothes inflammation.

Removes dead skin cells and increases transepidermal diffusion of active ingredients. Improves vascular health and blood circulation by strengthening the walls and increasing the tightness of capillaries. Reduces cell wall permeability. Causes an increase in hydration, accelerates cellular regeneration and regulates metabolism. Additionally, it strengthens the skin’s defence mechanisms against the effects of UV radiation and aggressive environmental factors. Has a soothing and stabilising effect. Treatment with lactobionic acid (PHA), azelaic acid (AzA) and gluconolactone (PHA) is intended for vascular skin, with symptoms of rosacea, sensitive, prone to erythema and irritation.

Chemical acids for vascular skin and sensitive skin

The acids used in chemical peels are a growing and increasingly diverse group of chemical compounds. Their action can be varied and goes beyond exfoliating the epidermis. Familiarising yourself with these substances will allow you to choose the best compositions and appropriate acid treatments for your problem, skin type and season. So-called “year-round acids” such as azelaic acid, lactobionic acid and gluconolactone can be used all year round, also in summer. However, adequate sun protection is necessary, i.e. after their application, the skin must be protected with a high UVA/UVB filter cream. With appropriate UV protection, treatments with these acids are fully safe in the summer even for sun-sensitive skin. Treatment with PHA-AzA acids is also recommended for skin that is reactive, dry, excessively dehydrated and does not tolerate other acids well.

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid that is formed by the oxidation of glucose. It is an important nutrient in the cell renewal process and a natural antioxidant that effectively fights free radicals and enhances the skin’s repair, defence and protective mechanisms against the effects of ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollutants. It is a powerful moisturiser, helping to maintain the skin’s normal natural hydration balance. It is recommended for hypersensitive skin (prone to allergies), excessively dehydrated skin and skin with rosacea (Acne rosacea) as well as acne vulgaris (Acne vulgaris) in very dry and sensitive skin. In addition, it has no irritant properties and can be used on very sensitive skin. It increases the barrier function of the stratum corneum, increases epidermal hydration, accelerates cell regeneration, regulates metabolism, reduces transepidermal water loss and skin sensitivity to irritation. It thus has an inhibitory effect on the skin’s ageing processes, improves skin texture, firmness and smoothness. In summary, azelaic acid strengthens the skin’s resistance to external irritants.

Lactobionic acid

Lactobionic acid belongs to the polyhydroxy acid group and is a combination of gluconolactone and galactose. Like other hydroxy acids, it has slightly exfoliating properties. It is devoid of irritant properties and can therefore be used for sensitive and dry skin, including vascular skin with erythema. It has important properties for the topical treatment of telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels) and rosacea. It has strong antioxidant properties and fights free radicals. Inhibits the action of metalloproteinases of the extracellular space of the epidermis, thus preventing the formation of wrinkles, telangiectasias and skin laxity. Enhances repair mechanisms (by stimulating collagen synthesis), provides protection against the effects of UV radiation. It has the unique property of binding water and forming a protective layer on the surface of the skin, which makes the skin smooth and soft, strengthening the protective function of the epidermal barrier.

Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic nine-carbon acid. It is formed by the peroxidation of linoleic and linolenic acids found in the cell membrane. By inhibiting a number of enzymes, this acid has bleaching properties. These properties are due to azelaic acid’s ability to inhibit the DNA synthesis of stimulated melanocytes and its cytotoxic properties towards hyper-reactive pigmentation cells. It reduces skin hyperpigmentation (mainly osteoids and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and that resulting from rosacea lesions. A significant reduction in inflammation (papules and pustules) and redness and erythema is achieved. It does not cause phototoxic or photoallergic reactions, so can also be used in summer. Azelaic acid also has an antibacterial effect (even with long-term use), an anti-epidermal effect and normalises the keratinisation process. It has anti-inflammatory properties – acts as a scavenger of free radicals that activate inflammatory processes. Recommended for irritated skin with erythema, also for oily skin.
