PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel

Your gentle exfoliator for an instant glow - without irritation

Do you dream of smooth, radiant skin but are afraid of aggressive peels that irritate your skin? AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel is the answer. This innovative gel exfoliator uses the gentle power of 10% PHA to effectively remove dead skin cells, refine pores and brighten your complexion. It is the perfect solution for sensitive skin or exfoliation beginners who want a visible "glow up" without redness and dryness.

The power of ingredients: gentle renewal meets pure moisture

The formula is a masterful balance of effective exfoliation and intensive soothing:

• PHA (10% gluconolactone): The hero of this gel. Polyhydroxy acids (PHA) are the gentle siblings of AHAs. Their larger molecules penetrate the skin more slowly, minimizing the potential for irritation. They dissolve the bonds of dead skin cells and also have a moisturizing effect.
• Cucumber extract: A real thirst quencher for the skin. Cucumber is known for its cooling, soothing and highly hydrating properties - the perfect partner for exfoliation.
• Centella Asiatica: This K-beauty superstar helps the skin to heal, has an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthens the skin barrier, which could be stressed by the exfoliation process.
• Fruit extracts (apple, papaya, grape): A cocktail of natural enzymes and antioxidants that supports the brightening and smoothing effect of the PHA and provides additional luminosity.

How to integrate the Glow Gel into your routine

1. After cleansing, apply a generous, even layer to a dry face.
2. Leave the gel on for 10-15 minutes. A slight tingling sensation is normal.
3. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water and continue with your usual routine (toner, serum, cream).

Pro tip: Use the peeling 1-2 times a week, preferably in the evening. As the skin is particularly receptive afterwards, this is the ideal time to apply a nourishing serum or a moisturizing sleeping mask.

Any questions about PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel?

What is the difference between PHA and AHA/BHA?

PHA (polyhydroxy acid) has larger molecules. This means it exfoliates the skin surface more gently and with a lower risk of irritation than AHA or BHA. PHA also has moisturizing properties, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin types.

Do I need to use sun protection afterwards?

Yes, absolutely! Every chemical peel makes the skin more sensitive to light. Consistently wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher the next day and the following days to protect your new, glowing skin.
