Biophora Gentle AHA Cream
Biophora’s rich, comforting cream with lactic acid, for dry and sensitive skin that wants gentle exfoliation. In the evening.
Our favourite first step into exfoliation for skin that is dry, sensitive or dull. Lactic acid gently smooths the surface while helping the skin hold on to moisture, wrapped in a rich cream with glycerin, vitamin E and cholesterol. Skin feels softer and more comfortable, and looks smoother and more radiant.
Benefits
- Gentle exfoliation with lactic acid, one of the mildest AHAs
- Smooths rough, flaky-looking texture and revives a dull complexion
- A rich cream base keeps dry, sensitive skin comfortable
- Glycerin and cholesterol help hold in hydration
- An easy first step into exfoliation
How to use
- Cleanse: Start with clean skin and pat it dry.
- Tone: Sweep on your toner and let it absorb.
- Smooth on Gentle AHA Cream: A small amount over the face, avoiding the eye area. Start every other evening if you are new to acids.
- Protect in the morning: Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while you use an AHA.

Biophora’s rich, comforting cream with lactic acid, for dry and sensitive skin that wants gentle exfoliation. In the evening.
Our favourite first step into exfoliation for skin that is dry, sensitive or dull. Lactic acid gently smooths the surface while helping the skin hold on to moisture, wrapped in a rich cream with glycerin, vitamin E and cholesterol. Skin feels softer and more comfortable, and looks smoother and more radiant.
Key ingredients
- Lactic acid: a gentle AHA that smooths and softens while supporting hydration
- Glycerin and sodium lactate: draw in moisture for supple, comfortable skin
- Vitamin E: an antioxidant that nourishes and helps protect
- Cholesterol and emollients: help seal in hydration for a soft, silky finish
How to use
- In the evening, apply a small amount to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area.
- If you are new to acids, start every other evening and increase as your skin allows.
- Don’t layer it with another exfoliant on the same evening.
- Wear SPF every morning while using it.
AHAs can increase sun sensitivity: wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day while using this cream. It contains lavender oil; if your skin reacts to essential oils, patch test first or speak with our estheticians.
