The latest research and development from
NuCèlle is now
focused on the little heard of but highly effective Mandelic
Acid. Studies are now being conducted on the efficacy
of this acid compared to other alpha hydroxy acids. Preliminary
studies show Mandelic Acid to be less sensitizing and remarkably
effective in alleviating such skin conditions as Melasma and
hyperpigmentation. Another noticeable benefit is a smoother,
clearer, and less lined complexion.
Mark Taylor, M.D., of Salt Lake City, Utah,
first introduced Mandelic Acid
to the NuCèlle
team in late 1996. Dr. Taylor has been testing and using the
Mandelic Marine Complex® formulations since
1995. During the course of his clinical trials, he discovered
that he was able to use the Mandelic
Acid safely on pigmented skin. He also discovered
that it caused less sensitivity, when compared to other alpha
hydroxy acids. His research is highlighted in the article,
"Summary of Mandelic Acid for the Improvement of Skin
Conditions," [Click here

issue.
During the summer of 1999, NuCèlle
commissioned the California Skin Research Institute (CSRI)
to conduct an independant study of the Mandelic
Marine Complex® formulations used for the treatment
of facial pigmentary lesions, acne lesions, and facial lines/wrinkles
as a cosmetic skin conditioning regimen. The results of this
study revealed a customer satisfaction level of 87.5% "Excellent
and Very Good." [Click here
