optiphi® Gentle Foliant is an exceptionally well-designed first step into acid exfoliants, especially for sensitive and reactive skin. It cleverly combines AHA, BHA, and PHA acids, so you get broad-spectrum efficacy without significant irritation. After just the first use, skin feels smoother and looks brighter.
