Why It Works
PHA Cream Cleanser is designed as a gentle first step in your skincare routine. It removes makeup, excess oil and impurities while helping skin feel hydrated, soft and comfortable.
1. Cleanses Without Stripping
The creamy formula gently clarifies the skin without leaving it feeling tight or dry. It is ideal for dry, sensitive or compromised skin that needs a softer cleansing experience.
2. Renews With 2% PHA
2% PHA Gluconolactone gently exfoliates by removing dead skin cells and impurities from the skin’s surface. This helps renew the complexion while supporting the moisture barrier.
3. Supports the Moisture Barrier
PHAs act as humectants, attracting and binding moisture to the skin. This helps replenish hydration and support a more resilient-feeling skin barrier.
4. Comforts With Botanical Extracts
Aloe, Cucumber, Chamomile and Rosemary help calm, hydrate and support skin vitality, making the formula well suited to sensitive skin.
5. Suitable After Superficial Procedures
PHA Cream Cleanser is gentle enough for fragile skin and is designed for use after superficial cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Key Ingredients
2% PHA Gluconolactone
Gluconolactone is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that gently exfoliates to renew the look of skin while supporting the skin’s moisture barrier. PHAs are also humectants, meaning they attract and bind moisture to the skin, helping leave skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and more resilient.
Botanical Blend: Aloe, Cucumber, Chamomile and Rosemary
This plant-powered botanical blend is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm irritation, hydrate and enhance overall skin vitality.
Emollient-Rich Blend
This emollient-rich ingredient blend helps create smoother, softer-feeling skin. Emollients enhance skin hydration by forming a protective layer, retaining existing moisture and helping to prevent transepidermal water loss.
