Lytic Tx

Lytic Skincare Benefits:

When it comes to skincare, "lytic" refers to products containing ingredients that promote exfoliation through various mechanisms. Here's a breakdown of the potential benefits:

1. Enhanced Exfoliation:

• Cell turnover: Lytic ingredients can help remove dead skin cells, accelerating the natural cell turnover process. This results in smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.
• Unclogged pores: Dead skin buildup can clog pores, leading to breakouts. Lytic exfoliation helps clear pores, potentially reducing acne and blackheads.
• Improved product absorption: By removing dead skin cells, lytic products can create a smoother surface, allowing other skincare products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

2. Specific Types of Lytic Ingredients and their Benefits:

• Enzymes (papain, bromelain): Gently break down protein bonds on the skin's surface, suitable for sensitive skin.
• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs, like glycolic acid, lactic acid): Dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, good for mild to moderate exfoliation.
• Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs, like salicylic acid): Exfoliate within the pore, targeting blackheads and acne-prone skin.

3. Important Considerations:

• Not all "lytic" products are created equal. Different ingredients and formulations have varying strengths and benefits.
• Over-exfoliation can damage the skin barrier. Choose gentle formulations and avoid overusing lytic products.
• Patch test before applying to your entire face.
• Consult a dermatologist if you have sensitive skin or any concerns.
