JEUNESSE AHA fruit peeling mask

Face scrub

Special peeling with biological fruit acid without abrasive particles.

Especially suitable for skin with large pores. Extracts from five different fruits and plants combined with natural lactic acid, free your skin from horny flakes and excess sebum. Your skin can thus better absorb moisture and active ingredients: Your complexion becomes velvety clean. Smells deliciously of orange and lemon!

Active ingredients:

• Kaolin: Is natural purified clay (bolus alba/porcelain clay) used as a skin-friendly, mild absorbent and sebum regulator, e.g. in masks.
• Orange oil (Citrus aurantium dulcis): Is obtained by cold pressing of the fruit peels. It gives a pleasant feeling of refreshment and relaxation.
• Multifruit extract: Contains the concentrated extracts of blueberries, sugar cane, oranges, lemons and sugar maple. The high content of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) has a mild exfoliating and antibacterial effect.
• Sodium lactate: Is a natural skin moisturizer with antimicrobial properties.
• Lactic Acid: IIs a weak organic acid with different pH-dependent cosmetic effects. It is a good moisturizer; Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) consists of about 8% lactic acid. As a component of the acid mantle, lactic acid regulates the physiological pH of the skin. Chemically, it belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and has mild keratolytic, i.e. cornification-dissolving, properties. Lactic acid got its name because it was first discovered in milk.
• Hydrolite: Improves the water-binding capacity of the skin and is also characterized by antimicrobial properties.
• Sea buckthorn lipids: Are obtained by high-pressure extraction with natural swelling carbonic acid from the dried, ground berries of the sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides). Due to its high content of carotenoids, sea buckthorn pulp oil has a strong orange-red color. Even in low concentrations, it has a cell-regenerating, anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant effect and is ideally suited for sun-damaged or neurodermitic skin. The skin's own hydrolipid barrier is regenerated and strengthened.
• Grape seed oil: The oil from grape seeds is one of the treasures of native oils. The yield from the very hard seeds, which also contain only about 10-14% oil, is very low. Because of its content of polyphenols and tocopherols, grape seed oil is regarded as an oil with extraordinary antioxidant, cell membrane-protecting properties. Due to its content of lecithin, grape seed oil is very well absorbed and acts as a "glide path" for skin-caring active ingredients, especially fat-soluble vitamins. The high content of linoleic acid (vitamin F = essential fatty acid) preserves the elasticity of the skin.
• Jojoba oil: Is cold pressed from the nuts of the jojoba bush (Simmondsia chinensis) of the Mexican desert and is chemically a liquid wax. It has the property of penetrating very quickly into the skin, does not become rancid and has deep action. It protects against dryness and keeps the skin smooth and supple.
• Panthenol (provitamin B5): Easily penetrates the skin and improves moisture retention especially in dry, chapped and cracked skin. Panthenol acts against redness and irritation of the skin, is anti-inflammatory and relieves itching.

Application: Apply evenly to cleansed skin about 2 times a week, avoiding the eye area and lips. Leave on for about 10 minutes, then wash off with water.
