AHA/PHA foaming facial cleanser and makeup remover
Description
Exuviance Deep Clean AHA Cleanser is a foaming, soap-free facial cleanser and makeup remover formulated with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) blend of Glycolic Acid and Gluconolactone. This gel cleanser is designed to deep clean and effectively remove makeup, surface oils and impurities while targeting a clarified skin texture and supporting the skin’s natural pH balance. The non-drying, dermatologist- and allergy-tested formula helps to refine pores, smooth uneven texture and leave skin feeling clean, refreshed and clarified.
Bnefits
- Foaming, soap-free facial cleanser and makeup remover with Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Gluconolactone (PHA).
- Deep cleans to remove makeup, surface oils, impurities and pollution residues without leaving the skin feeling stripped.
- Helps clarify skin texture, refine the appearance of enlarged pores and promote a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
- Supports skin’s natural pH balance while providing gentle chemical exfoliation through AHA and PHA.
- Non-drying, gel-based formula suitable for regular use in normal to combination and oily, blemish-prone skin types.
- Dermatologist and allergy tested to support use on a wide range of skin types.
- Alcohol-free formula (no drying ethyl alcohol), helping to maintain skin comfort and minimise tightness after cleansing.
- Lightly fragranced and rinses cleanly without leaving a heavy residue.
