The Science Behind The Product: PHA Body Water Cream

17.04.2024 | body

When it comes to body skin, moisturization is not enough. To keep your skin looking and feeling its best, we believe that effective, efficient, chemical exfoliation is missing in most body care routines today.

The skin on our body is thicker, produces less oil and has a slower skin cell turnover rate than our facial skin, making it prone to become dry, rough and dull, as well as being susceptible to more stubborn concerns such as KP bumps, ingrown hairs and body breakouts – meaning effective exfoliation is essential.

With the launch of INKEY Body we’re here to show you that there’s a better way to exfoliate, one that targets and improves multiple body skin concerns and is so easy-to-use, you can add it to your daily body care routine with no extra effort. INKEY SAYS EXFOLIATE!

WHAT IS PHA EXFOLIATING AND HYDRATING BODY WATER CREAM

PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream is the ultimate 2-in-1 daily body moisturizer. Powered by 3% PHA the lightweight, daily-use lotion delivers effective chemical exfoliation and deep hydration simultaneously helping you achieve and maintain smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin.
Ideal for daily body skin maintenance, the lightweight, instantly absorbing lotion allows for quick and easy application, immediately sinking into the skin and leaving no trace or sticky residue.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Chemical exfoliation refers to the active ingredients used in the formula such as PHA, which you may already be familiar with from our skincare products like PHA Toner. PHA is a dual-acting Polyhydroxy Acid which gently and effectively exfoliates the skin's surface to help remove dead skin cells whilst also acting as a humectant, attracting moisture within the skin to increase hydration levels. The addition of Jojoba and Rice Bran provide nourishing benefits to help smooth and soften the skin.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This product is perfect for anyone who already regularly uses a body moisturizer and is looking to upgrade their body care routine for enhanced results. PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream is suitable for everyone, with 97% agreeing the product was gentle enough for daily application. The formula has been clinically tested and proven to be non-comedogenic, making it suitable for breakout-prone skin.

WHEN SHOULD I USE IT?

Formulated to be applied with no need to rinse off, PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream can be used as part of your current AM and/or PM routines. For people who wear fake tan, this product can be used to help prep the skin before applying the tan. We recommend using the cream regularly in the week before applying fake tan to help gently exfoliate and create a smooth base. After tanning, continuing to use the cream can also help with evening out fading fake tan.
