• biological (enzyme)
• physical (see. fractional laser resurfacing)

This is a group of non-toxic acids derived from plants and fruits (sugar cane immature apples, grapes and gooseberry) and lactic, citric, tartaric, malic. Fruit acids affect the upper (horny) layer of the epidermis: gently remove dead cells, regulate metabolic processes in the skin, smooth and moisturize the skin, lighten age spots.
