Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; overuse of powerful exfoliating acids every day can often lead to skin sensitisation and premature skin ageing.
PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, meaning they don’t penetrate the skin as deeply and instead work on the skin’s surface.
This makes PHAs the perfect match for those with sensitive skin, who want to achieve true daily exfoliation whilst keeping their skin barrier healthy.
Gluconolactone is a high-performing PHA that breaks down the glue between dead skin cells so they are easily shed to reveal that coveted, radiant skin surface.
As PHAs are humectant ingredients, they help to hydrate the skin while exfoliating for ultimate comfort during and after use.
Gluconolactone is proven to work perfectly in combination with vitamin A[1], as it can help to promote vitamin A absorption and deliver the anti-ageing ingredient to exactly where it is needed in the skin.
Prickly Pear Extract helps to stimulate the activity of natural exfoliation enzymes, helping the skin’s exfoliation cycle to return to a more youthful pace.
This again works in combination with vitamin A for all-round skin cell rejuvenation.
Aloe vera and acai extract use their calming properties to reduce visible inflammation and redness, whilst hydrating the skin.
