BENTON PHA Peeling Gel — Gentle 2-in-1 Exfoliating Scrub

Rough texture, dull complexion, flaky skin that's too sensitive for classic AHAs? BENTON's PHA Peeling Gel is a 2-in-1 exfoliator that combines physical exfoliation (natural cellulose) with chemical exfoliation (PHA, a third-generation acid). Dead skin cells clump together and lift away as you massage. Skin is left smooth, radiant and hydrated, with no irritation at all.

PHA is gentler than AHA and doesn't make skin sensitive to the sun — so it can be used in the morning. No artificial fragrance, no alcohol. Suitable during pregnancy.

What customers really say

— "A dream for sensitive skin — soft, smooth, radiant skin with no tightness"
— "You can literally see the dead skin cells clumping as you massage — so satisfying, with instant results"
— "Even very sensitive skin can exfoliate without irritation — glowing after every use"

Key actives

— Natural cellulose — gentle physical exfoliation that catches and removes dead skin cells as you massage
— Lactobionic Acid (PHA) — a third-generation acid, gentler than AHA, with no photosensitivity
— Ceramides + Hyaluronic Acid — hydrate and soothe while you exfoliate
— Chrysanthemum Extract — naturally soothing and anti-inflammatory

Good to know

Unlike AHAs, PHA doesn't increase UV sensitivity — use it morning or evening. Ideal for starting out with chemical exfoliation. 70ml size — 2 to 3 uses per week recommended.
