The Science Behind PHA: Gentle Daily Exfoliation
What is PHA? PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) is the gentlest member of the exfoliating acid family. Unlike harsh AHA or BHA acids, PHA's larger molecular structure works at the surface level, making it perfect for daily body use without irritation.
Why PHA is Better for Your Body - Traditional exfoliating acids can be too harsh for large body areas and daily use. PHA removes dead skin cells while simultaneously hydrating - meaning you exfoliate and moisturize in one step. It's clinically proven safe for sensitive skin and won't leave you with the stinging or peeling common with stronger acids.
What to Expect
Week 1 - Immediate hydration boost, initial smoothing
Week 2-3 - Noticeable texture improvements, reduced roughness
Week 4+ - Maintained smooth, soft skin with continued use
Perfect for treating keratosis pilaris (KP), dry patches, and creating smooth skin for fake tan application.

This cream has been excellent in smoothing my skin. My arms especially feel less bumpy and more even. Have also been using it on my feet to good results. I would have awarded 5stars but for the smell. It really is rather unpleasant and smells a bit like tobacco.

I have been using this cream for two months. Not only I love the texture and how quickly my skin absorbs it but also how it leaves my skin super soft. I have used 3 tubes already. My tip for you is to use it on your heels. My heels never been so soft and with no dry spots at all.
