PHAS: YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SENSITIVE SKIN INGREDIENT

The 101 on Sensitive Skin

‘Sensitive skin’ is a common skin-type term that gets thrown around frequently, but what exactly does it mean? Sensitive skin is defined as having heightened sensory responses to chemical, environmental or even social triggers. Approximately 70% of the population consider themselves to have sensitive skin. 1. If you have sensitive skin, you’re more likely to experience stinging, itching, burning, dryness, redness or breakouts. Though the causes of sensitive skin are still unclear, studies show that an impaired skin moisture barrier is more susceptible to external aggressors, which can penetrate the skin and induce irritation. 2. It’s important to use a skincare regimen that lets you care for your skin’s moisture barrier with gentle formulations and well-tolerated antiaging ingredients like our Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs).

PHAs - Antiaging Benefits for Sensitive Skin

In addition to the breakthrough discovery of the Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), the founders of NeoStrata also discovered Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). PHAs include Gluconolactone, Lactobionic Acid and Maltobionic Acid. PHAs provide exfoliation, high-strength antiaging and help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, with the added benefits of being gentle and non-irritating. They have antioxidant and humectant properties and have been shown not to cause sun sensitivity, making them ideal for any skin type, including sensitive skin. PHAs can be used post-procedure, demonstrating their gentle, but effective nature.
