AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel 50ml

AXIS-Y's PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel is built on a 10% gluconolactone base, a PHA that's gentler than the AHAs many exfoliating peels rely on, backed by five fruit and vegetable extracts, cucumber, papaya, apple, grape and plum. It's a genuine at-home peel rather than a light toner-strength acid, applied thick and rinsed off after 10 to 15 minutes.

Why You'll Love It

• 10% gluconolactone, a PHA gentler than typical AHAs, exfoliates without the sting some peels cause.
• Five fruit and vegetable extracts, cucumber, papaya, apple, grape and plum, nourish while the peel exfoliates.
• Centella asiatica and camellia flower extract calm the skin through the treatment.
• Gel-water texture rinses off cleanly, leaving skin smoother for the rest of the routine.

Key Ingredients

• Gluconolactone (10%): a PHA that gently exfoliates while helping the skin hold onto moisture.
• Camellia Japonica Flower Extract: an antioxidant extract that also supports the skin during exfoliation.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: adds a calming element to offset the peel's exfoliating action.

2. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Use two to three times a week, and because this formula contains PHA, use a daily SPF the following morning.

Suitable For

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, since PHA is generally gentler than AHA or BHA exfoliants.
