WHAT ARE AFAs

PATENTED TECHNOLOGIES

The real beauty of AFAs™ is the science behind them.

AFAs™ Amino Acid Based Skin Care

AFAs are based on the amino acids that are recognized as part of the Natural Moisture Factors (NMF) of human skin. AFAs are a rapidly effective antioxidant created by the dissolution and acidification of natural acidic amino acids, the same acidic amino acids found in the skin. The term AFA stands for Amino Acid Filaggrin-Based Antioxidants.

Filaggrin is a protein that occurs in the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis. Filaggrin is metabolized in the epidermis into several acidic amino acids and these amino acids are the primary agents responsible for the skin’s ability to retain moisture. They are also the same amino acids used to produce AFAs.

AFAs are potent, stable antioxidants and powerful exfoliants with little to no irritation unlike AHAs, glycolic acids, or other alpha hydroxy acids. They supplement the amino acids so vital to helping the skin to retain more moisture. They are extremely effective against aging skin and photopigmentation (sun damage).

The unique features of AFAs:
• They promote greater moisture retention in human skin, directly related to the Natural Moisture Factors (NMF)
• They are potent stable antioxidants
• They are extremely powerful exfoliants, resulting in little to no irritation
The results of using AFAs are extraordinary:
• Skin texture smoothes and softens
• Improvements in pigmentation from sun damage are superior to that seen with other previously available cosmeceuticals
• Refinement in appearance of enlarged pores
• Helps with acne breakouts
