PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

What it is: A gentle, chemical-based lip exfoliator with 5% Polyhydroxy Acid (Gluconolactone) to smooth and hydrate lips.

Who it's for: All skin types.

What it does: This water-based serum helps to promote skin renewal on the lips to improve their overall appearance and texture over time. It contains polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), which work on the surface of the skin to offer mild exfoliation, making them suitable for sensitive skin. This formulation includes a high concentration (>50%) of glycerin to improve hydration and retain moisture, as well as ectoin to support the skin barrier and offer long-term hydration. It also contains a black carrot extract, which is known for its antioxidant properties and provides a mild pink colour to the formulation.

Key ingredients:

- Gluconolactone (Polyhydroxy Acid): helps gently exfoliate away dead skin for a smoother lip appearance

- Ectoin: supports the skin barrier to help retain moisture and protect against external aggressors

- Glycerin: helps restore lip hydration to support the natural exfoliation process

- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Citric Acid, Malic Acid and Tartaric Acid): support exfoliation while also imparting a sour taste to the formula

- Daucus Carota Sativa (Black Carrot): an extract of black carrot rich in anthocyanins, known for their antioxidant properties

How to use: Apply a thin layer onto clean, dry lips on alternate evenings as needed. Allow the product to dry. Apply lip balm as needed throughout the day. Note: You may notice a slightly tangy taste when using this product. This comes from the exfoliating acids that help to gently renew and smooth lips.
