Frequently Asked Questions

What is Polyhydroxy Acid and how does it work in skincare?

Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) is a gentle chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells while drawing in moisture, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or reactive skin types.

Is PHA suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. PHA molecules are larger than AHAs, meaning they penetrate the skin more slowly and cause less irritation, making them perfect for those with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea.

Can I use PHA with other active ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinol?

Yes, PHAs are known to be compatible with most actives including Vitamin C and Retinol. Just be mindful of how your skin responds, and introduce new ingredients gradually.

What’s the difference between PHA and AHA or BHA?

While AHAs and BHAs can be more intense exfoliants, PHAs offer a much gentler alternative. They provide similar smoothing and brightening benefits without the common side effects like redness or stinging.

How often should I use a PHA exfoliant?

Most PHA products are gentle enough to be used daily, but always follow the specific directions on your product and adjust based on your skin’s needs.

Will using PHA help with dullness and texture?

Definitely. PHA gently resurfaces the skin, helping to improve overall tone and texture while boosting hydration, leaving your complexion looking smoother and more radiant.

Do I need to wear SPF with PHA products?

Yes. While PHAs are gentler than other acids, they still exfoliate the skin, which can make it more sensitive to the sun. Daily SPF is a must.
