A Skincare Staple

Hi Friends,

Consider me excited. I decided to create a new page on IG that is dedicated to reviews of the things I like, dislike and love, and I’m starting with an absolute love.

I’ve never really considered myself to be someone with sensitive skin, but using BHAs really proved me wrong. I spent years trying different AHA/BHAs, only to break out and have to throw things away or return them. I have medium-tan, olive skin. If products break me out, they typically leave hyperpigmentation, so I felt like I just kept making things worse in my routine. Over years of trial, error, research, testing and learning, I finally found a product that works for me. Honestly, most of this line works for me, and the only reason I can’t attest to the entirety of it is just because I haven’t purchased everything. My skin loves AXIS-Y.

Finding the right AHA and BHA is daunting when you’ve got textured skin, or skin that you just feel needs a refresh and some improvement. Once I discovered PHAs, the game was changed, and the AXIS-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel is currently one of my holy grail products. When I need that refresh or when I know I need my skin to look a little elevated for something, it’s an absolute must in my routine.

To give some background - PHA, or polyhydroxy acid, is a type of chemical exfoliant that's known for its gentle yet effective exfoliating properties. Unlike other acids like AHAs or BHAs, PHAs have larger molecules, which means they penetrate the skin more slowly, without disturbing layers underneath. One of the standout features of the Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel is its ability to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities without causing any irritation. They allow for skin renewal with minimal irritation, but, at least in my case, that renewal hasn’t felt slow or unnoticeable. One of the reasons I’m vouching for this product is because I have seen improvement.

Since incorporating this product into my skincare routine, I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and appearance of my skin. Not only does it look fresher and more radiant, but I've also found that my other skincare products absorb more effectively, allowing me to reap maximum benefits. I absolutely love the glow and refresh this product gives.

The Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel has a formulation that includes soothing ingredients like centella asiatica extract and tea tree leaf extract. These ingredients help to calm and hydrate the skin, further reducing the risk of irritation.

I can genuinely say that this product has become a staple in my skincare arsenal, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone with sensitive skin looking to achieve a radiant, glowing complexion. If you've been struggling to find the perfect exfoliant for your sensitive skin, please check out the Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel. I hope your skin will thank you for it the same way mine has!

Note - This product is available through Axis-Y’s website, and that’s currently one of the best prices. You can also check Amazon, but I go through Stylevana as I typically love trying different Korean skincare products. Korean skincare formulas are renowned for their innovation, efficacy, and gentle yet powerful ingredients, delivering exceptional results for all skin types, and their prices don’t feel inflated. Please, if you’re looking to up your skincare game, try it out!
