Glycolic Acid: Buffered or Unbuffered…..What's the difference?

As an educated consumer, we know that the higher the number, the stronger the formula, right? Sometimes this is totally wrong. How can that be…..buffered and unbuffered that’s how. It is very common in skin care science to buffer formulas. What does this mean for the consumer? Simply put, you could be buying a 20% strength that is buffered down to an 8% . This practice is used widely to make sure consumers are getting a product that can be used by everyone and limits the manufacturer's liablilty.

Why should you look for unbuffered strength? Most likely when you are purchasing an active product, you are trying to achieve a specific result, be it anti-aging, pigmentation, or blemish control. You are usually looking for a higher strength, for better or faster results. When you are purchasing these buffered solutions, you are not achieving your goal.

Now that you know the difference, make sure that what you are using is as strong as it claims to be. Newport Cosmeceuticals is proud to produce Glycolic Acid Pads that are unbuffered. When you use our 10% pads, you very well may find that you are getting better results than you have ever achieved with even a 20% buffered strength from another brand. What does that mean for our 20% pads? Your results will be even more profound!

New from Newport Cosmeceuticals: Perfecting Toner Glycolic Salicylic 2/3 Complex

Adding a toner to your skincare routine is a great finishing step to cleansing, and also an excellent preparation of the skin to receive additional treatments. In a nutshell, that's what a toner is for.

Normal to oily skin types, as well as acne-prone, will definitely love this Perfecting Toner that eliminates excess oil and restores balance to the skin with a refreshing blend of natural botanicals.

What kind of results can you expect? It's ideal for balancing Normal to Oily/Acne Prone Skin. It gently exfoliates, unclogs and tightens pores; minimizes blackheads and whiteheads and controls future breakouts. It's also Hypoallergenic/Non-Comedogenic.

Age-defying solution: Cell Regeneration

When it comes to anti-aging, it is our belief that you target the skin two ways:
1 - From the outside in
2 - From the inside out

Cell Regeneration is the key component from Newport Cosmeceuticals that targets the aging process from the outside in.

When you look at the outer layers of the skin, you commonly find a buildup of dead skin cells. When you have this buildup, two things occur:
- First of all the skin’s appearance is not living up to its true potential.
- Second, the formation of new skin cells is slower than normal and with limited new skin cells developing, the skin’s natural anti-aging process decreases significantly.

Newport Cosmeceuticals Cell Regeneration is a highly effective scientific solution to treating the skin from the outside in. Using Vitamin A technology, this formula targets the new development of cells.

How does that work? Vitamin A is a raw material that has been widely used for decades in new cell development. What the Vitamin A does is really quite simple. Vitamin A "irritates" the current skin cells just enough to regenerate new ones. The key is to make sure that the Vitamin A is at a high enough level to give you the anti-aging, fine line softening results that you are looking for. Newport’s formula contains 2% Vitamin A in this formula, which is one of the highest concentrations available.

But don’t think that the Cell Regeneration formula is just about the Vitamin A. What makes Cell Regeneration completely unique is how it delivers the Vitamin A into the skin. Sure, you may have heard of Glycolic Acid before, but did you know that it is the smallest Alpha Hydroxy Molecule? The reason that Newport Cosmeceuticals incorporate 10% Glycolic Acid in the Cell Regeneration formula is for its amazing penetration abilities.

Let’s face it, you want an anti-aging product that works and Cell Regeneration does! You will benefit from BOOSTED cell turnover and NEW cell development. Many products push the hype of their anti-aging formulas. Newport Cosmeceuticals can put the RESULTS in the hype.
