Natural - Organic - Renewable - Apple Cream Exfoliator Alpha-hydroxy acids are natural substances derived from fruits, sugar and other plants. They have been proven to be effective in minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and fine lines. They work by loosening the glue-like bonds of the stratum corneum thereby gently exfoliating the dead, dull skin cells. The Key To Long Term Beauty Exfoliation is the most important key to long term beauty. Clinical techniques of laser peel, derma abrasion, and chemical acid peels are generally harsh ways of smoothing a complexion. ABRA’s Alpha Enzyme Peel is a gentle 8 % apple acid with balancing fruit enzymes that provide gentle exfoliation. Natural lavender essential oil soothes the skin during the exfoliation process.
