Pore Cleansing Balm PHA

The gentle hero for sensitive skin: cleansing & exfoliating without irritation

Do you have sensitive skin but don't want to miss out on the benefits of exfoliation? The HANSKIN Pore Cleansing Balm PHA was developed just for you. This balm is a true Gentle Giant: powerful enough to remove stubborn make-up and deep pore impurities, yet gentle enough to respect the delicate balance of your skin. Its secret weapon is PHA, the gentlest of hydroxy acids, which rids your skin of dead cells without irritating it. The result is clean, fresh and soothed skin.

The power of ingredients: gentle PHA and nourishing plant oils

The formula of this balm is a prime example of gentle but effective care:

• PHA (Gluconolactone): This polyhydroxy acid has a larger molecular structure than AHAs and BHAs, which means it acts more slowly and only on the surface of the skin. This makes it the ideal exfoliating ingredient for sensitive, dry and reactive skin.
• Sunflower seed oil: A light, non-comedogenic oil that is rich in vitamin E. It helps to strengthen the skin barrier and keep the skin supple.
• Evening primrose oil: Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to soothe redness and irritation.

How to integrate the Pore Cleansing Balm PHA into your routine

1. Remove a generous amount of the balm with dry hands.
2. Gently massage it into dry skin until all make-up and impurities are dissolved.
3. Add some warm water to emulsify the balm until it becomes milky.
4. Rinse your face thoroughly. For best results, follow with a water-based cleanser.

Pro tip: Because this balm is so gentle, you can also use it as a quick mask. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, leave on for 5-10 minutes and then rinse off to benefit from the gentle exfoliating action of PHA.

Complete your routine

After this gentle cleansing, your skin will crave soothing moisture:

• Step 2 (Essence): HANSKIN Hyaluronic Skin Essence - This essence is fragrance and irritant free, making it perfect for sensitive skin. It provides intensive moisture and soothes the skin after cleansing.
• Step 3 (Cream): HANSKIN Vitamin A Glow Retinol Cream - For gentle anti-ageing skincare in the evening. The cream contains soothing panthenol, which makes it a good choice for getting started with retinol skincare.

Any questions?

What exactly is PHA and why is it better for sensitive skin?

PHA (polyhydroxy acid) is a type of chemical exfoliant, similar to AHA and BHA. However, its molecules are larger so they cannot penetrate as deeply into the skin. This results in a very gentle exfoliating effect on the surface, which has significantly less irritation potential and moisturizes the skin at the same time.

Can I use this balm every day?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the ultra-gentle formulation with PHA and nourishing oils, this cleansing balm is perfect for daily use, even on very sensitive skin.
