What are PHAs?

Poly hydroxy acids (PHAs) work on the skin’s surface, leaving the delicate layers that lie beneath undisturbed. This helps minimise irritation, while still gently exfoliating dead skin cells.

While many resurfacing formulas on the market have only one type of hydroxy acid, Charlotte’s NEW! Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial is formulated with three magic hydroxy acids for a multi-layered resurfacing facial effect! The genius acid exfoliator blend of Glycolic Acid (an AHA), Salicylic Acid (a BHA), and Bio Agave Acids (a source of PHAs) works to refine the look of pores and exfoliates the skin to reveal healthier-looking skin that feels instantly smoother and revitalised.

What Are the Benefits of PHAs in Skincare?

Without effective exfoliation and hydration, the skin can appear rough, textured, dry, and dull. And often, outside of a dermatologist’s clinic, exfoliation formulas can be harsh, drying, rough, and can cause redness and breakouts. Charlotte created this dual-action, smooth, non-abrasive and bead-free formula to provide effective, gentle exfoliation with radiance-boosting results at home!

Reveal fresh, healthy-looking skin with the expertly calibrated blend of acids that work to minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation. The supercharged Bio Agave Acid is an extremely gentle source of poly hydroxy acids that is derived from the sap of the Tequilana plant, which works to remove dead skin cells on the surface that can make your skin appear uneven and dull. This gentle, effective exfoliation also allows for nourishing, moisturising ingredients to absorb more effectively into the skin, where they can cocoon the skin in hydration for a glowing, youthful, healthy look and feel.
