What is PHA?
Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) is an acid that is suitable for peeling the skin. The INCI name is Gluconolactone . PHA is found in our skin and is therefore very well tolerated. This makes PHA a real alternative to AHAs . They are effective and yet so gentle that they can even be used on very sensitive skin or with rosacea/couperose and neurodermatitis.
Another benefit of PHA is that it does not make your skin sensitive to the sun , as is the case with other acids. Sun protection is of course still important, as always.

PHA effect
Gluconolactone is water-soluble and ensures that old skin cells are gently removed. PHAs may work a little slower than AHAs, but they deliver comparable results over a longer period of time - and with no side effects!
Gluconolactone also provides moisture and has an antioxidant effect. And as if that wasn't enough, PHA also stimulates collagen production
The result? Smoother and thicker skin that is more robust, has fewer wrinkles and a strengthened skin barrier . An ideal healthy aging ingredient.
