AFA Amino Acid Skincare


AFAs mimic the amino acids naturally found in our skin. Amino Acids are found in the upper layers of the epidermis and are the main moisture-retaining factor in the skin. The chemical structure of the AFA molecule is very similar to that of a glycolic acid and they have small enough molecules, with molecular weights of under 100, to get into the skin at low pHs. They provide excellent exfoliation, but with much less dryness and irritation than occurs with the “older” AHA’s(Alpha Hydroxy Acids - usually glycolics). Patients notice a softening of the skin within 24 hours after first using AFAs and the skin immediately begins to retain more moisture. If used with a daily moisturizer, the skin will retain all the natural water we secrete during the day.


AFA’s are:

  1. Much better tolerated than the AHA’s due to  less dryness and irritation   
  2. AFAs have markedly enhanced moisture retention properties since they actually duplicate the natural moisture-retaining amino acid system of the skin’s stratum corneum.
  3. AFA’s are remarkably non-irritating even at higher concentrations.
  4. AFA’s are exfoliaters, however, they also are antioxidants due to their  molecular   structure and also contain L-Ascobic Acid along with Dead Sea Minerals
  5. AFA’s are excellent for ALL skin types , even those with Sensitive Skin, Rosacea, or Darker skins like African American and Indian skin.
  6. VERY AFFORDABLE and long lasting.
Acidified Amino Acids use the amino acids naturally found in the skin to gently exfoliate the skin without overdrying.
Cleanse face & neck with AFA gel or cream cleanser, then spray with AFA toner-mist. Allow to dry, then apply AFA exfoliating gel. Follow with AFA eye cream.

You will see an increase in moisture retention  and an improvement in the tone and texture of their skin almost immediately after beginning the use of AFAs because AFAs supplement the Natural Moisturizing Factor of our skin.

AFAs are very effective agents in repairing damage due to age and reducing photo-pigmentation

 In heavily sun- damaged skin, acidic amino acids are markedly decreased and moisture retention is also reduced, so AFAs will naturally improve this condition.

AFA exfoliating gels are formulated for use at home. The concentrations are mild, plus, and max, with pHs corresponding to un-neutralized AHA formulations having 5%, 10%, and 15% respectively. Patients usually start on the mild or plus formulation and gradually increase the quantity, frequency, and concentration of the gel. Exfoliation is typically almost invisible, so peeling is usually not seen. Any associated dryness can be easily counteracted with a suitable moisturizer.
