Gentle Exfoliating Cream, 50ml

Discover the dual power of Philab's Gentle Exfoliating Cream, where science meets nature to redefine skin rejuvenation. Crafted for those who desire a refined complexion, this cream offers a unique duo-action approach: enzymatic exfoliation for gentle renewal and amber particles for optional mechanical scrubbing. It's a versatile solution tailored to your skin's needs, providing a customized exfoliation experience. Embrace the choice of gentle transformation or a more tactile scrub, all within one innovative product.

At the core of our Gentle Exfoliating Cream is the innovative dual-action exfoliation system. Enzymatic exfoliation, powered by natural proteases, offers a gentle yet effective renewal, dissolving away dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing. For those who prefer a more tactile approach, finely milled amber particles provide a physical exfoliation, polishing the skin to perfection. Complementing these exfoliants is salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid renowned for its ability to deeply cleanse pores and smooth the skin's surface. This trio works in harmony to transform your skin, leaving it impeccably clean, smooth, and prepared for the next steps in your skincare ritual.

Beyond exfoliation, our cream is enriched with a blend of nourishing oils, butters, and extracts. Shea butter and jojoba seed oil imbue the skin with deep hydration and conditioning, ensuring that the exfoliation process does not strip the skin of its natural moisture. Sunflower seed oil reinforces the skin's barrier, enhancing its resilience, while urea and glycerin provide additional moisture, maintaining the skin's hydration balance. This rich blend ensures that your skin remains soft, supple, and nourished, even as it undergoes renewal.

Understanding the importance of a calm and soothed complexion, our formula includes ingredients like aloe vera and a blend of two plant extracts (phragmites, aka reed, an aquatic plant and poria cocos, a kind of mushroom). These components work together to soothe and fortify the skin, minimizing any potential irritation from the exfoliation process. This soothing action is vital in maintaining the skin's comfort and equilibrium, ensuring that each exfoliation experience is as pleasant as it is effective.

The culmination of this careful exfoliation, nourishment, and soothing is a complexion that looks visibly renewed and feels revitalized. Regular use of our Gentle Exfoliating Cream leads to a smoother, more even-toned skin with a noticeable reduction in the appearance of imperfections. Following this thorough yet gentle exfoliation, your skin is perfectly primed to absorb the full benefits of subsequent skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring that your skin receives the maximum advantage from your entire skincare regimen.

Preparation:
Begin your journey to radiant skin by thoroughly cleansing your face. This initial step removes makeup, dirt, and impurities, creating a clean canvas for the exfoliating cream.

Application - Enzymatic Exfoliation:
Apply a thin, even layer of the Gentle Exfoliating Cream to damp skin, steering clear of the sensitive eye area.
For an enzymatic exfoliation, gently massage the cream into your skin. The proteases will naturally start to dissolve dead skin cells and impurities.
Leave the cream on for about 10 minutes. During this time, you might feel a slight, comfortable tingling as the active ingredients work their magic.

Application - Mechanical Exfoliation (Scrub):
For a more physical exfoliation, after applying the cream, use your fingertips to gently scrub in circular motions. The fine amber particles will effectively polish the skin's surface.
Continue for a few minutes, focusing on areas that need extra attention but avoiding over-stimulation.

Rinsing Off:
After the chosen exfoliation method, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. This step is crucial to remove all traces of the product and reveal your freshly exfoliated skin.

Post-Exfoliation Care:
To complete the process:
If used in the morning, follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF cream to protect your newly exfoliated skin from UV damage.
In the evening, apply your favorite serum or moisturizer. The freshly exfoliated skin is now primed for better absorption and efficacy of subsequent products.

Recommended Step - Moisturization:
After rinsing, you may apply a light, hydrating moisturizer or serum. This step helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, maximizing the benefits of the exfoliation and leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated.

Frequency of Use:
For dry or sensitive skin, use once a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
For oily, combination, or normal skin, twice weekly application is recommended for optimal results.
Avoid using the product if your skin is prone to acne or is acneic, as exfoliation might aggravate sensitive conditions.

By incorporating these steps into your skincare routine, you not only indulge in a luxurious ritual but also contribute significantly to a well-balanced and effective skincare regime. Let the Gentle Exfoliating Cream be your secret to a perpetually radiant, youthful complexion.
