HaruHaru WONDER - sheilamarie review for Centella 3% PHA Gentle Liquid Exfoliating Serum

I received this product for free from Picky and HaruHaru Wonder in exchange for my honest review. For years, I used scrubs to exfoliate my facial skin. I found out that it is not good because it can cause abrasion on the outer layer of our skin. I've heard about chemical exfoliants but I'm scared that using them on my face might cause adverse reaction. I'm also a bit hesitant to use this serum that was sent to me because I'm not really familiar with PHA. But as compared to what I hear about exfoliants such as AHA and BHA, PHA is much more gentle on the skin. To be sure, I did the required patch test to see that nothing bad would happen to my skin. I didn't see any redness after doing the patch test so I immediately tried it on my face as well. Since exfoliants can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, I only use this serum at night. I apply essence and moisturizer after using the serum to make sure my skin doesn't dry out. I've only used it twice but I noticed that my skin doesn't look dull and tired in the morning. That's all I can share for now and hopefully the result of using it will be seen in a few weeks of application. Since it is gentler on the skin, it can be used 2 to 3 times per week. Let's just not forget our sunscreens when using exfoliants.
