PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoStrata today released new clinical research that validates the benefits of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) at- home peels in obtaining skin rejuvenation benefits as a complement to medical anti-aging treatments such as lasers and microdermabrasion. The data were highlighted in the Poster Session at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in San Antonio.

Both groups also used bionic/PHA homecare products in between peels. Participants noted improvements in the appearance of skin texture, wrinkles and radiance. Eighty-three percent of patients in the twice a week protocol perceived younger-looking skin within four weeks or less, and the majority perceived healthier looking skin and reduced pore size. Patients reported at-home peels were well-tolerated and non-irritating.

Supportive at-home products included a PHA cleanser; bionic/PHA or PHA day cream with SPF 15; and bionic/PHA night cream. All products complemented at- home peels and were selected to provide additional anti-aging benefits, including diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone.

"Our study demonstrates that the use of doctor-dispensed AHA home peel products can be a very convenient and flex
