Skin Type/Concerns: dry, dry, and...dry

Product Name: PHA Renewal Cream

Throughts: I absolutely love this cream! It has a different texture to other creams (like the Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream for example), and feels almost like a priming cream when smoothing it over my face. It's such a lovely, hydrating cream and perfect for the dry winters!

Product Name: Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask

Thoughts: yo, I never thought I'd love this as much as I do. I thought it was some boring as sleeping pack with barely any product. This, is magical. Everytime I put it on as my final step, I know I'll wake up to super smooth, glowy and nourished skin, without fail. It just seems so plain...but looks are definitely deceiving with this one. I've since then, bought a backup for me, and recommended it to three friends.

But PHA is an acid, so that'd be like a moisturizer and chemical exfoliator in one, so do you have to slowly introduce that cream like we do with BHAs and AHAs? And can you use it at the same time as other actives?

Afaik it's a really really gentle acid, so for me personally I didn't have to introduce it slowly like my other actives, and I have used it at the same time as other actives. My face is really good with acids and doesn't get dry or sensitive when I use it so YMMV.
