Description

NEOSTRATA Restore PHA Facial Cleanser is a dermatologist-developed, soap-free, non-foaming gel facial wash containing 4% Polyhydroxy Acid (Gluconolactone). It gently cleanses and removes makeup and impurities while providing mild exfoliation and helping to support the skin’s moisture barrier. The formula is fragrance-free and designed for dry, sensitive and reactive skin, including post-procedure and aesthetics patients, and is also used to gently cleanse the skin prior to NEOSTRATA ProSystem chemical peels.
