{"title":"NeoStrata","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeoStrata is the brand that popularized alpha hydroxy acids in skincare. The formulas work with glycolic acid and the gentler polyhydroxy acids (PHA), which gradually smooth and firm the skin without overstimulating it. Ideal for rough, dull, or aging skin, on both the face and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you use alpha hydroxy acids, protect your skin every day with a sunscreen.

Intended for skin that feels rough or uneven and where a regular body lotion is no longer sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycolic acid is the smallest of the fruit acids and therefore penetrates most easily. It loosens the bonds between dead skin cells so that they shed instead of remaining as a rough layer. Fifteen percent is a potent concentration: this is not an indulgent product but an active one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will notice the difference first on your upper arms, elbows, and shins, the areas where the skin most quickly becomes granular. The lotion spreads easily over a large surface area and absorbs without leaving a film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor normal, dry, or oily skin, on the face or body. Especially interesting if you are familiar with those small bumps on your upper arms, or if your skin feels rough shortly after showering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for those who are easily irritated or have recently undergone a treatment. For sensitive skin, it is better to choose the Bionic Lotion, which works with milder acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart every other day, in the evening, and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well. Apply to dry skin, so not immediately after showering. Avoid the eye area and irritated or broken skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: fruit acids make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sun protection during the day on the areas you treat, especially in the summer season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat I would like to share\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mistake almost everyone makes with acids is doing too much too soon. Twice a week is enough to start, and your skin will tell you itself when it can handle more. If it stings, burns, or becomes red, take a step back instead of pushing through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd count on about four weeks before you see anything. The skin on your body renews itself more slowly than that on your face, and that is precisely why people stop using this too soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure if this or the Bionic Lotion is right for you?

The choice for those who want to smooth their skin but are easily irritated by regular fruit acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active ingredients here are polyhydroxy acids: gluconolactone and lactobionic acid, totaling 15 percent. These molecules are larger than glycolic acid, which means they penetrate more slowly and cause far less irritation. You get the exfoliation, but without the harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is another difference that people rarely know about: polyhydroxy acids also bind moisture themselves. Where a regular fruit acid can leave your skin drier, this does the opposite. They also act as an antioxidant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is light and the formula is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Because these acids are milder, you can move to daily use more quickly than with glycolic acid. Avoid the eye contour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven mild acids make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Sun protection during the day remains necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat I would like you to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the product I recommend to anyone who thinks that acids are not for them. Nine times out of ten, it was the concentration or the type that was wrong, not the principle. Polyhydroxy acids are slower, and that slowness is exactly what makes them usable for skin that otherwise turns red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo expect to need a little more patience than with glycolic acid. Six weeks is a fair timeframe here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAre you hesitating between this and the Lotion Plus?
