7% Gluconolactone PHA Exfoliating Serum — Gentle Resurfacing, Pore Decongesting & Skin-Smoothing Treatment
Dr.Jart+ Pore Remedy PHA Exfoliating Serum 30ml is a water-light exfoliating serum with 7% Gluconolactone (PHA) — clinically proven to resurface and smooth skin, visibly decongest pores, and refine texture with consistent use. It delivers effective chemical exfoliation in the gentlest acid category available, making it the ideal daily exfoliating treatment for those who want AHA-level results without the associated irritation, sensitivity, or purging.
PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) is the next-generation evolution of chemical exfoliants. Like AHAs, PHAs dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells to accelerate cell turnover and surface renewal — but their larger molecular size means they penetrate the skin more slowly and superficially, dramatically reducing the irritation, redness, and photosensitivity risk associated with Glycolic or Lactic Acid. Gluconolactone is the most studied and effective PHA, with the additional benefit of functioning as a humectant — attracting and binding moisture to the skin simultaneously with its exfoliation action, so the skin stays hydrated and comfortable throughout the process rather than feeling stripped or tight.
The serum is formulated in a lightweight, water-like texture with Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil as a skin-compatible emollient carrier that prevents dryness without heaviness. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) + Pantolactone support barrier repair and moisture retention during the exfoliation cycle, Adenosine adds anti-aging elasticity renewal, and Glycoproteins support skin renewal and barrier integrity. The refreshing Spearmint, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus essential oil complex delivers an invigorating, clean-skin sensory experience that signals the formula is working — particularly satisfying in the morning routine.
