AFA Amino Acid Skin Care Review

Updated On:

Overview

AFA Amino Acid Skin Care is a beauty line based on the acidification of the amino acids in your skin. The manufacturer’s website claims that AFA has three main functions. These are: First, to act as a powerful exfoliator by removing dead skin cells to improve your skin’s textures with minimal irritation. Secondly, it promotes greater moisture retention by supplementing the skin’s own moisturizing system. And third, AFA Amino Acid Skin Care claims to provide stable antioxidation to protect the user’s skin from harmful environmental factors.

The AFA Skin Care line is designed to go hand in hand with your current dermatology treatments/ bathroom beauty regimen. In fact, it’s available exclusively through medial skin care professionals and it is prohibited from being sold over the Internet, which could make it difficult tog et a hold of for some curious consumers.

Product Details

The AFA Amino Acid Skin Care line is made up of two parts. These are specific morning and evening regimens. The skincare line is based on the concepts of cleansing and toning, as well as exfoliating and moisturizing. Also, the manufacturer of AFA Amino Acid Skin Care refer to “patented amino acid technology” as the secret to their success, but there is little information available about what this is and how it works.

The AFA Amino Acid Skin Care products include: Exfoliating Gel (Mild, Plus and Max), Gel Cleanser with Dead Sea Minerals, Cream Cleanser with Dead Sea Minerals, Toner-Mist with Dead Sea Minerals, Oil-Free Moisturizer with Dead Sea Minerals, Micro-Exfoliating Masque, Rejuvenating Eye Cream and the Advanced Treatment Body Lotion with Dead Sea Minerals.

The Good

  • AFA offers a variety of products in its line for several different skin types and problems.
  • AFA claims that its Exfoliation Gel provides major exfoliation success with minimal irritation, even for users with sensitive skin.

The Bad

  • This line of products is not for home use and can only be sold through salons, skincare clinics and dermatology offices.
  • The AFA website doesn’t have a lot of information for the consumer, and what it does have isn’t in easy to understand language. Because AFA is only sold through skincare professionals, the distributer of the product may be more informed and better able to explain the product ingredients to you.

The Bottom Line

While the fact that the AFA Amino Acid Skin Care line has to be bought through salons and medical offices gives it an air of exclusivity, it doesn’t guarantee results. It’s hard to predict how well the system works because the ingredients are not listed for the public and the technology behind it has not even been explained. Also, be prepared to invest a sizeable amount of money and time in this system. And while the beauty routine may not seem overwhelming on paper, it can be a bit daunting to accomplish in addition to a busy, everyday life. However, if your trusted physician recommends AFA Amino Acid Skin Care, they probably know what’s best for your skin.
