Hydroxy acids are nonabrasive exfoliants used in skincare. Obtained mainly from natural sources, including fruit, plants, and milk, they are divided into (1) alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), with the strongest action, (2) beta hydroxy acids (BHA) and (3) polyhydroxy acids (PHA), which are the most gentle. AHAs include lactic, tartaric, pyruvic, mandelic, malic, citric, glycolic, and azelaic acids. In BHA containing products, salicylic acid is used. The most common PHA is lactobionic acid.
- Azelaoyl. It is an innovative ingredient derivative of azelaic acid (effective anti-acne and brightening agent) and the amino acid glycine. It combines the properties of both ingredients and is proven effective at normalizing skin function, meaning it can help regulate the secretion of sebum, delivering moisture and boosting radiance and elasticity. Azelaoyl also reliably reduces rosacea, as well as the symptoms of burning and redness associated with inflammation and erythema. The recommended concentration is 2 5%. VIANEK Fortifying Night Cream contains a 2% concentration of azelaoyl, while in VIANEK Fortifying Face Serum the concentration is 3%.
- Mandelic acid. This is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a high molecular weight, which makes it one of the mildest and safest in its class. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, helps brighten the skin, and removes discolorations. VIANEK Soothing products are formulated with the mandelic acid ingredients derived from apples.
