Introducing a unique powerhouse face serum featuring a blend of clinically proven antioxidants and exfoliating Polyhydroxy Acid for brighter, more radiant skin in just one week. Why vitamin C and PHA? They are a dynamic duo.
Topical vitamin C is a science-backed, dermatologist-favourite ingredient that may help slow early skin ageing, prevent sun damage, and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it fights harmful free radicals that come in contact with your skin from external sources like air pollution. Free radicals can damage the skin, and applying topical vitamin C can combat free radicals and may improve the skin’s overall appearance. It is also the first product I use after cleansing in the morning. It is the base of the triangle of great skincare.
PHAs work by exfoliating dead skin cells on the surface, resulting in a more even skin tone and texture, and also help skin-care ingredients penetrate deeper into the layers of your skin, thus boosting their efficacy. PHAs also fight glycation. The unique properties of PHAs, larger molecule size, surface level penetration make them ideal for practically all skin types, especially if you’ve experienced sensitivity in the past with an AHA- or BHA-based product.
