Skin Care - PHA Series

The PHA, or polyhydroxy AHA, is like an AHA but offers an enhanced ability to hold moisture. As a result, products in our PHA Series can provide greater moisturization, as well as other AHA benefits without stinging and burning. These unique products also provide antioxidant protection to help fight the skin’s natural aging processes. This gentle yet powerful skin care ingredient can go where ordinary AHAs dare not- in eye creams and lip conditioners- to give more delicate regions the special attention that’s needed. Even complexions that require a little extra TLC (like those with rosacea, extreme sun damage, and other skin conditions) can get the moisturization and light exfoliation they crave.

PHA Products:

• Science has proven that the sun is the biggest enemy of young and healthy-looking skin. That’s why this moisturizing facial cream includes SPF 15 for broad- spectrum sun protection, plus Vitamin E for added antioxidant protection. It literally glides over your face to provide the perfect moisturizing surface for makeup while it protects and replenishes skin throughout the day.

• This emollient cream is the nighttime companion to the Daytime Protection Cream. Instead of sun protection, we included Vitamin B Complex for added skin benefits. Smooth on nightly, after cleansing, and your skin will appear softer, smoother, and healthier-looking in no time.

• A little goes a long way to gently cleanse and remove makeup with this concentrated cleanser. You also get the unique PHA benefits of moisturization and gentle exfoliation. The formulation is oil-, soap-, and fragrance- free, so even the moist sensitive complexions can enjoy routine, daily use without concern. Add to this an easy-to-use pump dispenser, and healthier-looking skin is conveniently achieved.

• The only AHA gentle enough for an eye cream is our patented PHA formula. Routine, twice-daily use of this highly moisturizing cream will improve the healthy, youthful appearance of your eyes. In addition to the PHA benefits, you’ll get the added antioxidant protection of Vitamin E, plus Vitamin B Complex, and sodium hyaluronate, a natural moisturizer.

• Combine the exfoliating and moisturizing benefits of PHA, with the added antioxidant protection of Vitamin E, plus Vitamin B Complex, and you’ve got a winner- hands down- for revitalizing the look and feel of dried-out, sun-damaged hands, and cracked cuticles. White petrolatum provides an added dose of protection.

• Our patented PHA formula provides the gentle exfoliating action found in this highly moisturizing lip balm. It also contains Vitamin E for added antioxidant protection, SPF 15, and natural oils for conditioning. You’re sure to smile when you notice smoother, softer lips with regular use. A favorite of men and women alike.
