Simple * Effective * Affordable * Long-lasting dry skin care
The secret to ProKera's effectiveness is glycolic acid, the alpha hydroxy acid with the smallest molecule so it is readily absorbed by the skin. It has been clinically proven by independent research that the alpha hydroxy acids do the following:
1. Facilitate absorption of other ingredients it is mixed with through the
stratum corneum (skin's outer surface) layer.
2. Slow evaporation of hydration (water) off the surface of the skin.
3. Speed up exfoliation (sluffing) of the stratum corneum layer by dissolving
adhesives that bind skin cells together.
4. Cause the collagen layer of the skin to swell temporarily, giving the
appearance of a reduction in fine wrinkling.
When skin gets dry, it doesn't exfoliate itself the way it is supposed to, causing the outer layer to thicken over time, get rough and sometimes crack because the thickened dry skin loses its flexibility. The solution is to keep it moist so it can work the way it was designed. That's easy to do if you live in a humid climate. But if not and you are genetically disposed to dry skin, are over 50, live in extreme weather conditions, low humidity, work in an inhospitable environment or with harsh chemicals, wood, paper products or are in water a lot, thick, rough, cracked dry skin can become a painful and chronic reality for you.

It stays on hands through several hand washings and on the body from shower to shower.
