Garden of Wisdom's PHA Plus Serum contains next generation of AHA's called Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA's) to help exfoliate, brighten, firm, hydrate and amplify the benefits of other anti-ageing products without irritation. Read Shabir’s article, ‘What are Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA's)?’ here.
PHA Plus Serum contains Polyhydroxy acids (PHA's), Gluconolactone and Lactobionic acid, which have been shown to display significant anti-ageing benefits when applied topically to the skin. Due to their larger molecular size, PHA's offer gentler exfoliation when compared to AHA's, making them ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and redness-prone skin. 
Polyhydroxy Acids also protect the skin from harmful UV radiation and enhance collagen production to promote firmer skin. They also bring humectant properties, making them ideal for dry, dehydrated skin.
In addition, Phytic Acid derived from the hulls of seeds and rice helps treat ageing skin, hyperpigmentation, loss of skin elasticity and inflammation, while making the skin tone and texture more even overall. Gluconolactone specifically inhibits the enzyme elastase – the cause of sagging skin – to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
PHA Plus Key Benefits:
Improves skin clarity
improves skin tone
Prevents skin dehydration
Helps improve appearance of pigmentation problems
Improves elasticity
Reduces inflammation
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

This stuff is fabulous! Amazed to find it's helping slight oiliness on my forehead as well as some dryness, and seems to be lightening a small spot of sun damage too.

It's help keep my skin clear by exfoliation but doesn't irritate it. I have very sensitive skin and can't use any other aha or bha. This doesn't give me any redness. I use every other night as I found I can't use every night or its a tad drying

Amazing product. I have seb derm and cannot use most actives. This product has been a godsend. I haven’t had any bad reaction to it, and it does not aggravate my skin condition. I do think it has improved my skin. I will use this forever and hope it never gets discontinued!
