MOHANI — brightening serum with lactobionic acid 10%
Most acids have a choice: either action or skin calmness. Lactobionoic acid this choice endures. It belongs to the polyhydroxy acids (PHA), which is the mildest group of exfoliating substances, and yet produces an effect comparable to AHA acids — smoother, brighter and better hydrated skin. At a concentration of 10% works together with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and a complex of six Asian teas.
What is lactose
Why PHA are milder than AHA
It determines the particle size. Lactobionic acid penetrates the epidermis slower and flowing than glycolic or almondic acid, so exfoliation breaks down over time instead of acting violently. Hence the lack of burning, redness and peeling. In addition, it is a strong humectant — at the same time exfoliates and moisturizes, which happens rarely with acids.
Does lactose sensitize the sun?
It shows no photosensitivity, so the serum is suitable for year-round care, also in summer. However, the next day the UV filter remains mandatory — every exfoliation reveals a fresher epidermis.
What else can you find in the formula?
Niacinamid strengthens the epidermal barrier and evens the color. Hyaluronic acid moisturizes and fills small wrinkles. The complex of six Asian teas makes antioxidant and supports lightening.
Who's that serum for?
What acids will work with sensitive skin?
It's polyhydroxy acids. This brightening serum was created for sensitive, vascular, dry and prone to irritation, as well as for mature and problematic skin that does not tolerate stronger acids.
Is the serum going to help with the discoloration?
Yeah. Lactose acid gradually exfoliates the epidermis with accumulated melanin and niacinamide inhibits its transfer to cells. The brightening effect is clearly seen in extra-flammatory discolorations, which are traces of eczema.
How to use the serum
How often and at what time
The serum is used 2-3 times a week, in the evening, for cleansed skin of the face, neck and cleavage, bypassing the eyes. At the beginning of the treatment it is worth reaching for not less often and gradually getting used to the skin. It should not be applied to irritated skin or mixed in one routine with retinol or other acids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the serum pinch on application?
Not usually. A large molecule of lactobionic acid penetrates slowly, so it does not give a burning sensation characteristic of AHA.
Does the serum make the skin peel?
She shouldn't. The exfoliation is gradual and invisible — instead of the descending epidermis, you will see a smoother and more radiant complexion.
How long does it take to see the effects?
Moisturizing and lighting after the first applications. You have to give your skin a few weeks to even out the color and glide the fine wrinkles.
Does the product smell?
The smell is neutral — the formula does not contain added fragrance, which is important for reactive skin.
