pHformula D.E.R.M.A.B.R.A.S.I.O.N. mild cream - 50 ml

A cream you leave on for a few minutes and then rinse off: a gentle at-home treatment for skin that feels rough and looks dull.

Why it works

The name suggests scrubbing, but there isn't a single grain in it, and that’s exactly the point. Grains scrape randomly across your skin, hitting hardest where it’s needed the least. Here, acids do the work: lactic acid binds moisture while loosening the bonds between dead cells, salicylic acid penetrates the pores, and lactobionic acid works slowly and gently on the surface. A retinol complex stimulates renewal underneath. So, you rinse off what comes loose instead of rubbing it off.

The texture is a thick, soft cream that becomes slightly firmer while massaging.

For whom

For those with rough-feeling skin, clogged pores, a dull complexion, and fine lines that look sharper than they are. Also for those you wouldn't recommend it to at first glance: drier, more mature skin often benefits more from this than oily skin, because the layer of dead skin cells remains thicker there.

How to use it

Only in the evening. Apply a small amount with dry hands to a dry face, neck, and décolleté, massage for half a minute to a minute, leave on for five to ten minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water. What people do wrong: wet hands or a damp face. Water dilutes the acids, and then you won't get any results. Start once every two weeks and only increase to once a week if your skin remains calm. Use sunscreen the next day, without exception.

What I’d like you to keep in mind

This is the product people overdo the most. More is really not better here: twice a week is the maximum, and very few skins need that. Also, don't leave it on longer than ten minutes just because it tingles pleasantly. Your skin will feel smoother that same evening, but you won't see the real difference in your complexion until after three or four treatments. And don't plan it for the night before a party: slight redness that lingers for a few hours is normal.
