WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT PHA BODY WATER CREAM? A body lotion that delivers effective exfoliation and hydration simultaneously, helping you achieve and maintain smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin. The hero ingredient, PHA provides a dual-action exfoliating and hydrating effect that works to support the skin and skin’s moisture barrier in two ways:

1. Supporting surface skin cell turnover and gently sloughing away dead-skin cells that contribute to rough and dull-looking skin, to reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin.

2. Helping to draw hydration into the skin’s surface as optimal barrier hydration is essential in supporting the skin’s natural skin cell turnover process for softer, healthier-looking skin.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT FOR? PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream suitable for everyone, with 97% agreeing the product was gentle enough for daily application.

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.

For people who wear fake tan, PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream 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.

WHAT BENEFITS WILL I SEE USING THIS VS USING MY EVERYDAY BODY MOISTURIZER? PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream delivers more benefits than a basic, everyday body moisturizer. The hero ingredient, PHA is a dual-acting Polyhydroxy Acid which provides deep hydration alongside effective exfoliation, to encourage shedding of dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin underneath plus, with consistent use, it can help to visibly retexturize and even the skin’s appearance.

CAN I USE GLYCOLIC ACID EXFOLIATING BODY STICK WITH THIS? Yes! People using PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Cream as an everyday maintenance product can also use Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick as a targeted treatment. If applying both, only apply the Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick to concern areas then apply PHA Body Water Cream to all other areas of the body. Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick is a specialist treatment to be used directly on concern areas, whereas PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream should be used daily to help with overall body skin maintenance.
