PHA is combined with soothing aloe vera and redness-reducing niacinamide (vitamin B3) in this leave-on toner, making it even more sensitive skin-friendly. According to Dr. Arch, it's best to ease into exfoliation, especially if your skin is particularly reactive—once or twice a week is a good place to start.You've heard of AHA and BHA, but what about PHA? Poly-hydroxy acids are another type of chemical exfoliant that removes dead, dry cells from the skin's surface. Since the molecules are slightly larger, they don't penetrate as deep, making them notably gentler and a prime option for those whose skin is easily irritated.

Get a brighter, healthier-looking complexion in minutes with the Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, a skincare treatment that reveals a smoother, softer and more radiant complexion. All products in the Exfolikate line include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and the cleanser is no exception. This formula includes the AHAs glycolic and lactic acids, as well as enzymes from papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin to further support exfoliation. You see, fragrance ingredients impart scent through a volatile reaction, and this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. Unfortunately, collagen production starts to decline around age 25 and continues to decrease with age. Collagen levels also decrease due to factors such as smoking and overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Ultimately, this decrease leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.Also referred to as “Kate’s signature Super Facial”, the ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is by far the most popular product in the collection. It is claimed to visibly transform texture and pores in just two minutes. The formula includes a physical exfoliant (silica) and chemical exfoliants (AHAs and fruit enzymes). These ingredients work to exfoliate dull, dry surface skin cells to reveal smoother skin and also prep skin to better absorb the rest of your regimen, making every product and ingredient that follows more effective. It is recommended to use this product only once or twice per week. This treatment is an exfoliating scrub that helps promote smooth, healthy, and glowing skin. Key active ingredients include AHA lactic acid, BHA salicylic acid, silica, and papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin enzymes. These powerhouse elements work together to loosen dead skin cells, leaving you with a fresh and younger-looking complexion. AHAs are frequently used in skin care products because they provide numerous benefits to the skin. One of the most well known benefits of AHAs is their ability to exfoliate the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.

ExfoliKate Liquid is a nightly leave-on exfoliating solution that is said to gently slough away surface dullness and refines the look of pores for smoother, softer, more glowing skin. The main difference between ExfoliKate Liquid and the Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is that this product does not contain a physical exfoliant, which may be more appealing to those who have sensitive skin. This product is gentle enough to be used every night.

This complexion-enhancing exfoliator is formulated with AHA, lactic acid and fruit enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells, while silica acts as a physical exfoliant to slough them away. Honey and aloe vera provide a soothing sensation, and soy-lipids support the skin’s natural defences. You can use this moisturizer both morning and night, but it is recommended to follow with a sunscreen if you’re going to be spending time outside since AHAs make ​​skin more sun-sensitive.
