PHA 5% lip exfoliant smooths dead skin and fades discoloration; surprisingly hydrating.
What the community says
A PHA lip serum with ectoin that people use at night or every other night for flaky buildup and around-mouth discoloration. It’s gentler than glycolic acid and can feel hydrating, but lips are still sensitive and need slow ramp-up.
What this means for you
What people love
- Gently lifts dead skin and gunk
