Everything you need to know about Geek & Gorgeous Calm Down 4% PHA + BHA Liquid

Overview

What it is

This product is an exfoliating liquid formulated for people with very sensitive and redness-prone skin. It utilizes polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) to exfoliate by removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface, offering moisturizing benefits and antioxidant protection. The inclusion of salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), provides mild exfoliation and anti-inflammatory properties.

How it works

The product works by utilizing exfoliating agents such as lactobionic acid, gluconolactone, and salicylic acid, which help to gently remove dead skin cells from the surface. Lactobionic acid and gluconolactone, both PHAs, are known for being gentle on sensitive skin while providing moisture and antioxidant benefits. Salicylic acid also contributes to exfoliation but with additional benefits of soothing inflammation. Panthenol and glycerin help to retain moisture in the skin, enhancing its hydration potential. Botanical extracts from Opuntia Ficus-Indica, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, and Poria Cocos offer conditioning properties that aid in soothing and maintaining the skin's natural balance.

About the brand

They say: "Our products are fragrance (artificial or natural), colorant and drying alcohol-free and we aim to minimize all helpers and fillers. We also avoid using common allergens and plant extracts, which sound good but are scientifically questionable for the skin (such as most essential oils, lavender or citrus extracts). We also do not use controversial ingredients (you know, like parabens, sulphates or mineral oil) to give you total peace of mind, although we also have to honestly tell you we do not think that these are toxic ingredients and we do not believe in scaremongering. Our philosophy is based more on maximizing what is good for the skin and minimizing everything else."
