WHAT DOES BUFFERING OF ACIDS MEAN?

Synthetic (man made) acids/peeling agents require buffering (stabilizing of the acidity pH) using chemical agents in order to
stabilize. Buffered acids are used by some companies for in-salon treatments and home care (not used by RegimA). Synthetic acids
such as synthesized glycolic, are cheaper to manufacture. Certain chemicals may have an irritating effect in certain skins. Synthetic
acids can cause a short, sharp, shock to the skin. When this occurs one may experience superficial peeling, however, there is no longterm
therapeutic action. Natural AHAs do not require any chemical intervention to stabilize, are more easily absorbed and cell
regeneration is enhanced with more rapid healing and without irritation. RĂ©gimA only uses NATURAL acids so NO chemical
buffering is required & therefore there are no potential side effects
