Abstract
A method for reducing signs of aging in human skin. The method includes the steps of (a) topically applying to the skin a hydroxy acid product having at most a hydroxy acid concentration of approximately 7.0% and having a pH range of between 3 and 4 which causes an increase in exfoliation of the skin; (b) topically applying to the skin a non-hydroxy acid product; (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) at least twice daily for approximately four weeks; and (d) repeating only step (b) at least twice daily for approximately another 4 weeks.
