ALA shows promise as an excellent antioxidant for skin health and as an anti-aging ingredient. As a universal antioxidant, ALA will protect every structure in the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental conditions and overexposure to the sun.
Alpha Lipoic Acid also recycles various other antioxidants, improving their function and enabling them to better protect the cells.
As an anti-aging ingredient, ALA may partially reverse some of the molecular events associated with aging. Looking at the research, it is easy to see the benefits that Alpha Lipoic Acid gives to the body.
Because it is only available in food in very small amounts, to boost levels of Alpha Lipoic Acid in our bodies, we need to use it topically and take a dietary supplement.
Studies demonstrate that topical application of Alpha Lipoic Acid easily penetrates the skin, delivering this molecule directly to skin cells.
For youthful, healthy skin, use skin care products enriched with Alpha Lipoic Acid and other antioxidants.
