LHA acts by dissociating surface corneocytes to promote cell renewal, while preferentially targeting hair follicles, making it a suitable exfoliant for acne-prone skin or skin with dilated pores. The cellulose present in the formula ensures light mechanical exfoliation by friction. Allantoin, sodium hyaluronate and glycerine complete the exfoliating action, supporting skin hydration and tolerance. Extracts of cocoa, aloe ferox and broccoli provide antioxidant compounds. This product is particularly suitable for combination to oily, sensitive or reactive skin requiring regular exfoliation without damaging the cutaneous barrier. It is less suitable for very dry skin or skin with a significantly altered epidermal barrier.
