The Formula

PHA activator

Clinically Proven Results

In clinical study, no redness or inflammation was observed, confirming excellent skin tolerance. After 3 weeks of treatment, the following improvements were recorded:

  • Skin becomes smoother: +29% to +51%
  • Pore size visibly reduced: +28% to +43%
  • Wrinkle depth reduced: −7% to −33%
  • Overall pigmentation reduced: −9% to −16%
  • Pigmentation spots reduced: up to −21%

How It Works

PHA Activator features an exclusive resurfacing technology that combines PHAs, enzymes and advanced active ingredients to improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles without causing irritation. Tranexamic Acid and Hexylresorcinol work in synergy to reduce pigmentation disorders and brighten uneven skin tone.

Formulated as a water-in-oil emulsion, it forms a protective, breathable film on the skin to limit transepidermal water loss (TEWL) while supporting long-lasting comfort. The water phase is isotonic and balanced in essential salts, optimising water transfer into the skin for improved hydration and tolerance.

Key Active Ingredients

  • Gluconolactone (PHA): smooths skin, boosts hydration, supports gentle yet effective exfoliation.
  • Lactobionic Acid (PHA): antioxidant, exfoliating, strengthens the skin barrier while providing exceptional tolerance.
  • Bacillus Ferment (Enzymes): enhances cell renewal to refine texture without irritation.
  • Tranexamic Acid: brightening and anti-inflammatory, reduces dark spots and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
  • Hexylresorcinol: a powerful brightening molecule that targets hyperpigmentation and melanin pathways.
  • Sodium Lactate & Glycerin: hydration boosters that replenish moisture and maintain suppleness.
  • Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): antioxidant protection and barrier support.
  • Octyldodecyl Myristate & Stearyl Esters: provide soft, nourishing sensoriality to counterbalance exfoliation.

  • Clinically proven efficacy with visible results in 3 weeks

How to Use

  • Cleanse the face: begin with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities, oil and makeup.
  • Tone the skin: apply a toner to rebalance the skin's pH and prepare it for better absorption of the Activator.
  • Apply the Activator: place a small amount on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then gently massage in using upward circular motions, avoiding the eye contour.
  • Let it absorb: allow the cream to fully absorb into the skin before going to bed.

For best results, apply the Activator every night for 3 consecutive weeks, paired with an Ekseption sunscreen each morning.

This targeted 3-week protocol supports skin rejuvenation, exfoliation and radiance overnight.

Pleasantly surprised by this product. As it’s applied at night time I expected it to be quite heavy and either greasy or sticky. It is none of these. Only a small amount of product is needed and the skin absorbs it almost immediately. Very light in texture and smells fresh.
