MicroX LHA™

MicroX LHA is a targeted, time-released delivery system of lipo-hydroxy acid. LHA is a lipophilic (oil-loving) form of hydroxy acid with potent skin renewal activity. Since it is lipophilic, it partitions into sebaceous areas of the skin where it targets corneocyte desquamation. Numerous studies show that LHA provides a non-irritating, natural exfoliation which reduces the skin’s older dead layer and increases new cell formation at the skin’s basal layer.

LHA exfoliation closely mimics our inherent physiological skin renewal.

By delivering LHA in calcium microparticles, we are able to release LHA into deeper layers of the skin. The pH within the stratum corneum degrades the calcium microparticle releasing LHA deeper in the epidermis for a continuous, long-lasting anti-aging effect. The calcium ion is also released, feeding important cell signaling processes involved in skin repair. This topical application of calcium supports skin barrier health.
