AHA is known to be effective for peeling but also has irritant properties. GREENTECH discovered that the hibiscus flower containing Senegal acid has effects equivalent to AHA while having a higher content of keto acids, which are less irritating. Its extract, FLOWER ACIDS(R), possesses many efficacies, including peeling effects. = Efficacy = Promotes regeneration of epidermal cells Enhances moisture retention and smooths the skin's surface Low irritation compared to lactic acid Improves skin radiance and evenness Smooths wrinkles and fine lines When applied to hair, increases silkiness and shine. = Mechanism of Action = The high concentration of pyruvic acid (keto acid) contained in FLOWER ACIDS activates cell regeneration by reducing the aggregation of keratinocytes (dissolution of desmosomes) through conversion to lactic acid by epidermal dehydrogenase, thereby improving moisture retention in the upper layers of the epidermis. Pyruvic acid also stimulates the synthesis of collagen and mucopolysaccharides (Jaffary et al., 2016; Moy et al., 1996). = Efficacy = Promotes turnover: 12.5 days (Avg.) Moisturizing effect: +10%
