The scientific principle is that by replenishing the skin with this biomimetic structure, the cream can more effectively repair a compromised barrier, reduce water loss (TEWL), and protect against irritants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Test:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real Barrier claims that the cream is clinically tested to provide 72-hour hydration and to improve a physically damaged skin barrier by 58%.

What is PHA and how is it different from AHA\/BHA?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) is a chemical exfoliant, like AHA and BHA. However, its molecules are larger, so it penetrates the skin more slowly and works on the surface. This makes it much gentler and less likely to cause irritation, making it a great choice for those new to acids or with more sensitive skin. It also has the bonus of being a humectant, meaning it helps to hydrate the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Can I use this every day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, for most oily and combination skin types, this cream is gentle enough for daily use, either once or twice a day. However, if you are new to chemical exfoliants, we recommend starting with 3-4 times per week at night and gradually increasing as your skin builds tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.

However, products like this can make pores \u003cem\u003eappear\u003c\/em\u003e smaller or more refined by keeping them clear of clogs (sebum and dead skin) and by temporarily tightening the skin.
