PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel

AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel: Your Gentle Exfoliant for a Radiant Complexion

Do you dream of smooth, radiant skin but feel wary of harsh exfoliants that strain your skin? The AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Gel is the answer. This innovative gel exfoliant uses the gentle power of 10% PHA to loosen dead skin cells, refine the appearance of pores and bring your complexion to a glow. It is the perfect choice for sensitive skin or exfoliation beginners who want a visible "glow up" without visible redness or a dry feeling.

The Power of the Ingredients: Gentle Resurfacing Meets Pure Hydration

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

• 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, which minimises the potential for irritation. They loosen the bonds between dead skin cells and also provide moisture.
• Cucumber Extract: A true thirst-quencher for the skin. Cucumber is known for its cooling, soothing and intensely hydrating properties – the perfect partner for an exfoliant.
• Centella Asiatica: This K-beauty superstar supports the skin's protective barrier, gives a soothed skin feeling and can soften visible redness – ideal, as the skin is put to work during exfoliation.
• Fruit Extracts (Apple, Papaya, Grape): A cocktail of natural enzymes and antioxidants that supports the brightening, smoothing effect of the PHA and adds extra luminosity.

How to Add the Glow Gel to Your Routine

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

Pro tip: Use the exfoliant 1-2 times a week, preferably in the evening. Since the skin is especially receptive afterwards, this is the ideal moment for a nourishing serum or a hydrating sleeping mask.

Still Have Questions About the 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's surface more gently and with a lower risk of irritation than AHA or BHA. PHA also has moisture-binding properties, which makes it ideal for dry and sensitive skin types.

Do I need to use sun protection afterwards?

Yes, absolutely! Every chemical exfoliant makes the skin more sensitive to light. The next day and on the following days, consistently apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your radiant skin.
