Key Ingredients
Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid used in chemical peels and to treat acne-prone and dry skin conditions. Visibly reduces pores and wrinkles as it removes lesions and surface dryness.

Lactic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that diminishes the cohesion of the surface skin cells and subsequently, prevents the thickening of the stratum corneum. Lactic acid is absorbed across the stratum corneum and assists in cell detachment from that level. The resulting smoothness and flexibility of the skin’s surface is evident soon after application.

Malic Acid: This hydroxy acid is present in apples, strawberries, apricot and many other fruits. It has excellent exfoliant, antibacterial and antiseptic properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I know many ingredients used for exfoliating can be too abrasive. What is the source in this body scrub?
A: The exfoliation properties in this stimulating body wash come from ultra-fine jojoba beads. These beads are not overly abrasive and break down, leaving the skin smoother.

Q: What an exhilarating experience in the morning shower. Can you tell me what ingredients give this product its invigorating scent?
A: Alpha Therapuetic Ultimate Body Scrub has many natural botanicals but the ones that give it that stimulating fragrance include spearmint, peppermint, clove and ginger extracts.

Q: My aesthetician sold me the Alpha Therapeutic Ultimate Body Scrub in a kit with the GlyMed Plus Tan In. How do these products work together?
A: One of the most important steps in the process of self tanning is to make sure the skin is exfoliated prior to the application. Therefore, the first step should be to cleanse thoroughly with Alpha Therapeutic Ultimate Body Scrub and then apply Tan-In. We also recommend applying Alpha Therapeutic Hand & Body Lotion daily to avoid any over-drying of the skin.
