Detailed Description

PHAs are next-generation AHAs. Because of a larger molecule size compared to Glycolic Acid, Gluconolactone (the PHA used in this formula) penetrates the skin more slowly, offering gentle exfoliation without irritation while also functioning as a humectant. It provides up to 50% protection against UV radiation. The formula is boosted with Prebiotics and Probiotics to balance the skin's microbiome and enhance its natural defence barriers, alongside multiple humectants for multi-level hydration and Niacinamide plus Salicylic Acid to help reduce enlarged pores, control oil, and prevent clogged pores. Gluconolactone is sourced from Jungbunzlauer, Switzerland.
