The 'next generation' hydrating PHA toner for daily surface exfoliation that keeps your skin glowing all year round.
Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; overuse of powerful exfoliating acids every day can often lead to skin hypersensitivity and premature skin aging.
PHAs are composed of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, which means they do not penetrate as deeply into the skin and instead work on the skin's surface.
This makes PHAs the perfect match for people with sensitive skin who want to achieve real daily exfoliation while keeping their skin barrier healthy.
Gluconolactone is a high-performing PHA that breaks down the glue between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily shed to reveal that desirable, radiant skin surface.
Because PHAs are humectant ingredients, they help hydrate the skin during exfoliation for ultimate comfort during and after use.
Gluconolactone has been proven to work perfectly in combination with vitamin A[1], as it can promote the absorption of vitamin A and deliver the anti-aging ingredient precisely where it is needed in the skin.
Prickly pear extract helps stimulate the activity of natural exfoliation enzymes, returning the skin's exfoliation cycle to a more youthful pace.
This, in turn, works in combination with vitamin A for all-round skin cell rejuvenation.
Aloe vera and acai extract use their soothing properties to reduce visible inflammation and redness while hydrating the skin.
