Below is the first of a 3-part exploration of popular skin care acids. Education is of utmost importance to me. An educated consumer is an empowered consumer.
Part 1 Benefits of the Top 5 Skin Care Acids
Part 2 Moisturizing Skin Care Acids
Part 3 What does pH have to do with a skin care acid’s effectiveness?
Part 1 -
When you think of having an acid applied to your face, do you envision a scene from a horror film? No worries. The ongoing application of low-intensity acids can be an integral part of an effective age and acne management home program.
Choosing an over the counter (OTC) or cosmetic product that contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) doesn’t have to be a daunting task.
There are 3 primary factors to consider when choosing a product that contains alpha or beta hydroxy acids.
Which acid will best fulfill my skin care needs?
What percentage of the active acid(s) should I use?
What is the pH of the product that the acid is delivered in?
What do AHAs and BHAs do for the skin? There are a variety of acids used in the skin care industry. Each acid has a different set of attributes. Let’s explore some of the benefits of acids most commonly used in cosmetics and OTC products.
Glycolic Acid is a very popular Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from cane sugar. It is found in many skin care treatment products that focus on minimizing signs of aging and acne. Glycolic Acid:
Exfoliates the dead skin cell layer, encouraging oil and dead skin cells to be released from the skin
Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
Attracts water into the skin (hydrophilic)
Helps dull, tired skin to be replaced with fresh, glowing skin
Decreases hyperpigmentation (discoloration) for a more even skin tone
Smooths and softens skin’s texture
Glycolic’s small molecule size allows deeper penetration which unclogs follicles and dissolves the dead skin cell build up in pores (blackheads)
IGOG Skin Care products that contain Glycolic Acid:
No. 10 Organic Illuminating Serum
No. 19 Organic Brightening Moisturizer
No. 20 Organic Gravity Defying Moisturizer
No. 22 Creamy Smoothing Moisturizer
No. 26 Organic Multi-Acid Mask (coming soon)
Lactic Acid is a fabulous AHA used to brighten and smooth the skin. Lactic Acid is derived from milk. Lactic acid:
Is easily tolerated by many because it is less sensitizing
Lightens hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
Brightens skin
Smooths texture
Exfoliates tired, dull skin cells
IGOG Skin Care Products that contain Lactic Acid:
No. 20 Organic Gravity Defying Moisturizer
No. 22 Creamy Smoothing Moisturizer
Kojic Acid is a pigment fighting wonder that is derived from fermented rice and Japanese Reishi mushrooms. Kojic Acid works to inhibit the production of melanin in your skin. Melanin is the substance that gives your skin its dark color when exposed to sun, inflammation (acne) or hormonal changes (melasma pregnancy mask). The more melanin you produce, the darker your skin becomes. If you have unwanted dark spots (hyperpigmentation) including Kojic Acid in your skin care routine can help even-out your skin’s color.
IGOG Skin Care Products that contain Kojic Acid include:
No. 10 Organic Illuminating Serum
No. 19 Organic Brightening Moisturizer
Retinoic Acid (RA) is a derivative of Vitamin A. RA has proven its worth in anti-aging skin care circles in both prescription form (Tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Refissa) and in cosmetic and OTC preparations (Retinol). Non-prescription retinol is tolerated by skin better than prescription retinoids, which tend to come with irritating side effects. There is a wealth of research to back up retinol’s anti-aging benefits.
Retinoic Acid (RA) adds structure and thickness the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles
RA brightens the skin by exfoliating dull, tired surface cells
Encourages healthy cell function
Functions as an antioxidant which limits free-radical damage
Fights hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
Improves pore function which helps enlarged, clogged pores purge their dead skin cell lining, returning pores to their genetically-determined size
All forms of vitamin A break down and deteriorate when repeatedly exposed to air and light. Buy retinol products in opaque, airless dispensing bottles like those that we use at IGOG Skin Care!
If you are just starting to use a retinol treatment, start slowly, allowing your skin to get used to this potent ingredient.
IGOG products that contain Retinol:
No. 4 Exfoliating Mini-Peel Pads
No. 9 Organic Retinol Serum
No. 20 Organic Gravity Defying Moisturizer
Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is derived from acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Like AHAs, BHAs act as an exfoliant. The shedding of dead skin cells allows fresh cells to rise to the skin’s surface. BHAs are a lipid (oil) soluble molecule allowing penetration into pores that contain sebum (oil), helping to exfoliate the pore itself. This makes BHAs particularly useful to oily, acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid is usually well tolerated. This BHA inhibits inflammation, and is less likely to make users sensitive to the sun than Glycolic Acid. Those sensitive to aspirin should consult their physician before topical use.
Willow Bark Extract is a source of natural BHA, polyphenols and flavonoids. Willow Bark Extract may contribute effects similar to those seen from synthetic salicylic and can be used in organic formulations. Salicylic acid:
Is a keratolytic = Exfoliant
Is anti-inflammatory
Inhibits the formation of comedo (acne)
Restricts the growth of bacteria
Is capable of penetrating and breaking down sebum plugs (blackheads) opening/clearing clogged pores
Shrinks and tightens pores
Reduces appearance of wrinkles
Smooths skin
Helps to manage Keratosis Pilaris (KP) which shows up as rough bumps of dry skin on arms, thighs buttocks and cheeks
Reduces hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
Over-the-counter limits are set at 2% - 3% for topical preparations
pH of 3 or 4 will bring maximum benefits
IGOG Skin Care Products that contain Salicylic Acid:
No. 4 Exfoliating Mini-Peel Pads
No. 10 Organic Illuminating Serum
No. 26 Organic Multi-Acid Mask (coming soon)
Precautions:
If you use an acid in your skin care routine, you must be diligent in use of an effective sun block! Acids can make your skin more vulnerable to the sun’s rays, even days after you stop using them. Sun damage and burns can occur if you are not properly protected. Wear your sunblock and re-apply regularly!
Both AHAs and BHAs can cause irritation including redness, burning, flaking or itching if used in high concentrations with a low pH. It is best to do a test patch over a small area to make sure your skin can tolerate skin care acids. Ramp up usage starting with use a few times per week and increase as tolerated.
Consult your doctor before using AHA/BHA containing products if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
Darker skinned individuals may be at risk for scarring and loss of pigment (hypopigmentation) when using strong-level acids.
Consult a skin care professional to determine if Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids are appropriate for you.

Benefits of the Top 5 Skin Care Acids Posted first on: igogskincare.com/
One of our spa quality herbal products!
These cost a fortune in spas, but they are so simple at home. And the results are visible immediately!
Just pop the muslin bag into a large pot of boiling water. Move the pot off the stove and onto another surface where you can easily put your face over it, and drape a towel over your head to catch the steam. When the pot begins to cool and there is less steam, return the pot to boiling and repeat. I don't recommend doing this for more than 20 minutes all tolled, and the steam should never burn you. However, a slight tingling sensation of circulation can be felt that will fade as your skin normalizes. For best results, facial steams are recommended once a week, and the effect is cumulative.
And the bonuses don't stop after the steam! The herbs I use are beneficial for all skin types, and especially the eyes. Use the spent bags as a treatment for baggy, puffy eyes or for any other problem areas.
All ingredients organic where possible. I designed this product to work with any other regime. I made this originally for myself, as I couldn't find it on the market made with quality ingredients as well as reasonably priced. You'll see these in boutiques and spas for four times the amount! Environmentally friendly with all natural, biodegradable ingredients.
Price is for three packets. $2 off shipping with the purchase of two items. Three or more and shipping is free! To save on packaging and shipping, as well as the burden on the Earth, I do not ship these in singles. Three bags for $7 or one bag can be sent with the purchase of another product for $3.
Herbs can vary according to availability.
A batch of Gifts of Nature Facial Steams may contain:
Fennel: Wrinkle remover. Fragrance herb.
White Willow: Moisturizing. Healing wash for eruptions and sores.
Nettle. Astringent, tonic, improves skin. Very high in vitamins and minerals.
Lavender flowers: Soothing. Stimulates circulation. Toning. Anti-microbial and topical antiseptic. Healing for cuts, burns. Fragrance.
Rose petals: Wrinkle removing, moisturizing. Fragrance. Sacred in Western Europe.
Linden: Softening, healing. Wrinkle removing, antiseptic, mildly bleaching. Fragrance.
St. John's Wort: Anti-microbial. Healing for skin ulcerations and severe conditions.
Red Clover: Skin conditions of all types. Purifier. Blood cleanser.
Yarrow: Astringent and healing, especially for cuts and gashes.
Elderflowers: Tonic. Clears and softens skin, smoothes wrinkles and bleaches freckles.
Calendula: Treats inflammation, wounds, irritations, and sores.
Chaparral: Treats severe skin conditions, including serious infections.
My washing grains are based on years of experimentation on ancient formulations with modern sensibilities in mind. All ingredients organic where possible, including the essential oils, so this cleanser has the least chance of reaction for even the most sensitive skin. I designed this product to work with any other regime and for everyday use. It contains no soap of any kind. I grind them as fresh and at the lowest temperature as possible so as not to decrease the efficacy of the delicate herbs and oils.
It can also be used as a mud mask, once or twice a week recommended. Water, honey and yogurt can be used as a base with the Grains. Honey is antibacterial and is especially recommended for problem skin. For a slight natural bleaching effect for freckles and blemishes, the Acidophilus in yogurt increases the efficacy of the elderflower.
Comes in Lavender, Rose, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Orange, Spice, Vanilla and Peppermint!
I made this originally for myself, as I couldn't find it on the market made with quality ingredients as well as reasonably priced, and it is now my most popular product. You'll see these in boutiques and spas for four times the amount! I find that, used daily, the healing herbs and exfoliation can seem to take 5-10 years off my face in about two weeks. They work like magic! Environmentally friendly with all natural, biodegradable ingredients.
If you've never used Grains before, I recommend starting off in the bath or shower, as they can be tricky to rinse off completely in a sink. Now I know why previous generations needed a basin on their vanities: to splash off Washing Grains!
