About
PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is a gentle chemical-based exfoliator for lips with 5% gluconolactone and 1.5% alpha hydroxy acids to smooth and hydrate lips. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that works to dissolve the structures that hold dead skin cells together. Due to their larger molecular weight, PHAs work on the surface of the skin to offer mild exfoliation, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
This formulation also includes a high concentration (>50%) of glycerin to improve hydration and retain moisture as well as ectoin to support the skin barrier and offer long-term hydration. It also contains a black carrot extract which is known for its antioxidant properties and provides a mild pink colour to the formulation. This plant-derived ingredient may contribute to colour variations in the product ranging from vivid pink to pale peach however should not impact efficacy.
PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum helps to promote skin renewal on the lips to improve their overall appearance and texture over time and can be layered under Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm to gently remove dry, dead skin and hydrate lips overnight.
Note: You may notice a slightly tangy taste when using this product. This comes from the exfoliating acids which help to gently renew and smooth lips.

Reviews
"Went with the XL and the weight feels balanced and premium. Took it on a road trip last weekend. I'm in Portland, OR. Happy with my purchase."
"Picked the matte black and the compartments keep everything organized. Used it for a week of meal prep. Took a day longer than estimated to arrive, no big deal. Exactly what I needed."
"Got the olive green and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Carried it through a busy work week. Instructions could be a bit clearer, but I figured it out. Would buy again."
"Picked the gray model and the color matched the listing exactly. Used it at the desk for video calls all month. Glad I went with this one."
"Went with the medium size and setup took me less than five minutes. Used it during a move and nothing shifted. No complaints so far."
"Order processed quicker than the estimate. Cushioning is supportive after hours. Carried it through a busy work week. Slightly heavier than expected, still well balanced though. I'm in Nashville, TN. Happy with my purchase."
"Went with the XL and the fabric is surprisingly breathable. Took it to the lake house for the weekend. The strap is a little long for me, easy enough to adjust. Would recommend."
"Got the olive green and it feels sturdy in the hand. Running it through my routine for a month. I'm in Miami, FL. Couldn't ask for more at this price."
"Ordered the refurbished unit and the screen is sharp and bright in daylight. I've been using it daily for about two weeks now. Runs a touch small but nothing a size up didn't fix. Exactly what I needed."
"Ordered the limited edition and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Used it at the desk for video calls all month. Button is a bit stiff at first but loosens up with use. Five stars from me."
