FAQ

Q: Can I use this product if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

A: Absolutely. This formulation is specifically designed with sensitive skin in mind. The PHA technology (Gluconolactone and Lactobionic Acid) provides gentle exfoliation without the irritation associated with traditional AHAs, whilst the barrier-strengthening properties help calm redness and improve skin resilience. The fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formula has been dermatologist and allergy tested, making it suitable even for reactive and rosacea-prone complexions.

Q: How does this differ from a traditional AHA moisturiser with SPF?

A: The key difference lies in the Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) technology. Unlike Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acid, PHAs have a larger molecular structure that works more gently on the skin's surface. This means you get effective exfoliation and anti-ageing benefits without increased sun sensitivity, irritation, or the need to build tolerance gradually. PHAs also provide superior moisturisation due to their ability to attract and bind water molecules—making this ideal for sensitive or dry skin types who cannot tolerate traditional AHA products.

Q: Can I use this product immediately after professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy?

A: Yes, this is an excellent post-procedure moisturiser. The gentle PHA formulation helps support skin recovery by strengthening the protective barrier and providing soothing hydration without irritation. The broad-spectrum SPF 23 protection is essential after professional treatments when skin is more vulnerable to UV damage. However, always follow your skincare professional's specific post-treatment recommendations and introduce products gradually as advised.

Q: When can I expect to see visible results?

A: Clinical studies demonstrate that 93% of users experienced noticeably smoother skin texture after just four weeks of consistent twice-daily use. You may notice immediate benefits such as improved hydration and a calmer complexion from the first application. Progressive anti-ageing results—including reduction in fine lines, improved firmness, and more even skin tone—typically become evident within 4-8 weeks of regular use as the PHA complex promotes natural cell turnover and collagen support.

Q: Should I apply additional sunscreen if I'm spending extended time outdoors?

A: Whilst this product provides SPF 23 broad-spectrum protection suitable for daily incidental sun exposure, we recommend reapplying every two hours during prolonged outdoor activities or layering with a higher SPF product for extended sun exposure. For comprehensive protection, combine with additional sun safety measures including wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and limiting outdoor activities during peak UV hours.

Q: Will this product leave a white cast on my skin?

A: The lightweight formula is designed to absorb quickly without leaving a noticeable white cast once fully massaged into the skin. While it contains Titanium Dioxide (a mineral sunscreen that can sometimes cause whiteness), the formulation has been optimised for cosmetic elegance. Ensure thorough application and allow a moment for complete absorption—the cream should blend seamlessly, leaving skin with a natural, non-greasy finish suitable for wearing beneath makeup.
