MaMa Lotion 2.5 PH Gel
The Ultimate AHA Gel with Mandelic & Malic Acid
Product Information
MaMa Lotion is a revolutionary alpha hydroxy acid gel that combines two unique alpha hydroxy acids: mandelic acid and malic acid. Mandelic acid and malic acid are alpha hydroxy acids with a slightly larger molecular structure. This results in a slower, more even penetration and less irritation. This allows people normally unable to tolerate high concentrations of AHAs to enjoy the collagen promoting benefits of an AHA peel.
The MaMa Lotion Advantage
Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid have unique beneficial properties that are not found in glycolic acid.
Mandelic Acid is naturally anti-bacterial. This property provides an additional aid in fighting unwanted breakouts - and is especially useful for those combatting adult acne.
Malic Acid is a natural humectant, which draws water out of the dermis and into the epidermis. This helps keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. Malic Acid is also a known antioxidant. In addition to its exfoliating and moisturizing properties, malic acid can help protect the skin against free radical damage due to sun and pollution exposure.
You may have noticed that the pH level of the MaMa Lotion is significantly lower than other AHA products (which typically range from 3.5-4.0). This is possible due to the non-irritating properties of mandelic acid and malic acid. It is also important because it allows for greater penetration and exfoliating activity - much like an in-office AHA peel.
Who Should Use MaMa Lotion
Almost anyone who desires firmer, brighter, softer, and more even skin should use MaMa Lotion. It is even recommended for those with sensitive or darker skin tones. You should avoid use of the MaMa Lotion if you suffer from unusually sensitive skin or eczema (on the face).
Recommended use depends completely on your individual skin and what it can tolerate. Because of its high activity, it is recommended that you start off using it only once or twice a week. This will help determine skin sensitivity and will help minimize peeling. After a few weeks, if there is no excessive peeling or stinging with product application, you can increase the frequency of application. It is always better to take it slow. If you find yourself becoming sensitive, then you should take a break for a week or two, then start again, applying the MaMa Lotion less frequently than before.
Always wear sunscreen in the daytime when using MaMa Lotion. |
