Why COBIO aHA v2?
COBIO αHA V2 is Cobiosa’s thoughtfully balanced take on alpha hydroxy acids — a synergistic complex combining glycolic, malic and tartaric acids with sodium lactate, sodium citrate, sucrose and urea, key components of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) .
What makes it special is its partly neutralised system. The AHAs are carefully buffered to minimise intolerance while maintaining their exfoliating and moisturising performance . The result is effective renewal without compromising comfort — ideal for modern formulations that demand both results and tolerance.
In vivo testing (5% gel vs placebo, 12 volunteers) showed a statistically significant decrease in desquamation index of 5.6% immediately after application and 9.0% after 7 days, confirming its exfoliating efficacy . Visual D-Squame® images illustrate improved homogeneity of the stratum corneum over time, reflecting smoother, more refined skin .
Beyond exfoliation, AHAs in COBIO αHA V2 are shown to promote collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis, contributing to improved hydration and skin tone . It’s a true multitasker: renewing, hydrating and strengthening the barrier in one elegant system.
