Polyhydroxy acid PHA
Mild exfoliation for sensitive skin
Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) is a mild exfoliating agent with a large molecular size that provides gentle and effective renewal of the skin's surface without irritation, redness, or increased photosensitivity for all skin types. The acid exfoliates the skin superficially, dissolves dead skin cells, and improves radiance and evenness without breaking down the skin barrier, making PHA the mildest option among all chemical exfoliants. At SKNLÛX, you will find a carefully selected range of gently exfoliating skincare products featuring this mild acid from well-known K-beauty and European brands.

This mild exfoliating acid is an excellent alternative to stronger AHA and BHA acids and is particularly well-suited for reactive, sensitive, and rosacea-prone skin that cannot tolerate more aggressive exfoliants. PHA also has moisture-binding properties and acts as a humectant that draws water to the skin, contributing to a softer and more hydrated skin surface after exfoliation. This exfoliant is often combined with soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica, aloe vera, and niacinamide for a dual effect of exfoliation and intense hydration. Regular use of gentle products with this acid provides progressively smoother and more radiant skin without the irritation and increased sensitivity that stronger exfoliants can cause. Our range includes products from COSRX and Some By Mi, known for their effective and gentle exfoliating formulations with this active acid. At SKNLÛX, you will find a wide selection of mild exfoliating skincare products across all price ranges, carefully selected for their proven effectiveness.
