SEFPIL ALPHA HYDROXY (MANDELIC ACID) CREAM

For those who are trying to fade the effects of dark spots on face, uneven skin tone, repair sun damage, and trying to treat the inflammation that occurs with acne, creams based on Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), such as Mandelic Acid, can be quite effective. 

WHAT IS SEFPIL ALPHA HYDROXY (MANDELIC ACID) CREAM?

SEFPIL is medical grade cream that contains Mandelic acid in a specially formulated creamy base. Mandelic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid derived and extracted from Prunus dulcis var. amara or bitter almonds.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid applied topically speeds up the cycle of skin renewal. It causes the top layers of skin to shed more quickly and reveal new, undamaged skin.

Inspired by dermatological peels, SEFPIL effectively reduces the existing imperfections, regulates sebum secretion and smoothes out the skin. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells and unblocks and cleanses skin pores, which become significantly narrower; helps alleviate acne lesions and accelerates regeneration of the epidermis; reduces the risk of acne scar formation and skin discolorations. Combined with sweet almond proteins, the cream prevents the first signs of ageing making the skin texture even.

BENEFITS OF TREATMENT WITH SEFPIL

SEFPIL targets three key concerns:

• Wrinkles and fine lines – Mandelic Acid is an anti-ageing ingredient. It accelerates cell turnover and helps to remove dead skin off the surface of the skin that can lead to dull complexion as well as fine lines. It also improves collagen synthesis;
• Hyperpigmentation and discoloration – Melasma is a common skin condition in which light to dark brown or greyish pigmentation develops on the face. Mandelic acid has been shown to reduce melisma, resulting in a more evenly colored complexion. Those with deeply pigmented skin often have problems using Alpha Hydroxy Acids because of the irritation they cause. This irritation can stimulate pigment-producing cells to produce more melanin, especially amongst darker complexions. This seems to be less of a problem with Mandelic acid than with other Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Because of its gentle properties, Mandelic Acid is also safe for those with rosacea;
• Acne – Mandelic acid’s antibacterial properties are extremely helpful in treating acne. It also helps to regulate sebum production and in turn decrease the occurrence of breakouts.

Prolonged use of SEFPIL is safe for your skin and will have rejuvenating benefits. If you have experienced irritation with other acid creams, a cream containing Mandelic acid would be your best option.

ADMINISTRATION OF SEFPIL

If you are not accustomed to using Alpha Hydroxy Acid products on your skin, you may experience some mild stinging and/ or redness. If this is the case, it’s best to use SEFPIL every other day for the first couple of weeks before going to an everyday regime. If redness and stinging do not cease, discontinue use. 

PRECAUTIONS

Some minor surface flaking may occur and can be kept at bay with regular use of a facial scrub or exfoliating face cloth/brush. 

As with all AHA products, use of sunscreen is recommended as clearing away surface debris and dead skin cells mean that more UV rays can get through.
