Gluconolactone:
PHA is the perfect product to smoothen, hydrate and plump skin – for an easy and quick refresh. Instead of penetrating deep skin layers, it gently removes any debris that‘s sitting on top of it. PHAs even combat glycation, a process that weakens collagen and elastin in your skin. Plus: PHAs aren‘t known for having side effects and can be used for any skin type! The ‚POLY‘ in polyhydroxy acids stands for ‚many‘. In this case, it stands for many hydroxy acids. These hydroxyl groups make PHA a humectant, an ingredient that pulls water deeper into the skin – it´s literally water loving! Water (moisture) in the serums that is applied afterwards is pulled deeper into the skin and guarantees an extra hit of hydration.
