Dealing with enlarged pores, rough texture, and excess shine in Mauritius' humid climate can be a constant battle. The AXIS-Y LHA Peel & Fill Pore Balancing Cream is a revolutionary 2-in-1 moisturiser designed to address these concerns with a gentle, K-beauty approach. It exfoliates to 'peel' away pore-clogging impurities and dead skin, while simultaneously hydrating to 'fill' the skin with plumping moisture for a smoother, more balanced complexion.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
- Who It's For: Ideal for those with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin who struggle with enlarged pores, rough texture, blackheads, and excess sebum.
- What It Does: Gently exfoliates with LHA to decongest pores, smooths skin texture, regulates oil production, and provides lightweight hydration.
- Texture & Finish: A lightweight, refreshing cream that absorbs quickly without a greasy or heavy feel, leaving a soft, natural finish.
- Key Benefits: Visibly refines pore appearance, reduces shine, improves skin texture, and hydrates without causing congestion—perfect for a tropical climate.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face. Use your favourite gentle cleanser to wash away impurities.
- Apply Cream: Scoop a pea-sized amount of the LHA Peel & Fill Cream and gently massage it over your face and neck until absorbed.
- Protect (AM) or Rest (PM): In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). In the evening, this is your final moisturising step.
Mindful Tip: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste and get a true sense of this product's benefits when you start it.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Add a little extra for the neck.
- Frequency: Start by using it once a day in your evening routine for the first week to allow your skin to adjust. If your skin feels comfortable, you can increase to twice daily (AM and PM).
- Method: After your toner and serum steps, take the appropriate amount and spread it evenly across your face. Gently pat for better absorption.
- Important AM Step: Because this cream contains an exfoliating ingredient (LHA), it's essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning to protect your skin.
Beginner's Tip: If your skin is very sensitive, introduce this cream slowly. Use it every other night for the first two weeks before moving to daily use. This helps your skin build tolerance to the exfoliating action of LHA.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels hydrated, refreshed, and soft. The lightweight texture absorbs without leaving a greasy film.
- Within 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in midday shine and less visible congestion in your pores. Skin texture begins to feel smoother to the touch.
- Within 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, the appearance of enlarged pores is visibly refined. Skin looks more balanced, and the frequency of blackheads and minor breakouts may decrease. The overall complexion appears clearer and more even.
Individual results may vary. Consistency, especially with daily sun protection, is key to achieving and maintaining results.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "I need to use harsh, gritty scrubs to get rid of my bumpy texture and large pores."
Truth: Harsh physical scrubs can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation, a damaged barrier, and even worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in melanin-rich skin. The AXIS-Y LHA Peel & Fill Cream replaces abrasive scrubbing with a smarter, gentler approach. Its key ingredient, LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid), is an oil-soluble exfoliant that works *inside* the pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells without aggressive friction. This effectively smooths texture and refines pores while respecting your skin's delicate barrier.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- ✅ Works Well With:
- Hydrators: Ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Panthenol complement this cream by boosting its hydrating "fill" effect.
- Soothing Agents: Centella Asiatica, Green Tea, and Mugwort are excellent partners to calm skin and support the gentle exfoliation.
- Niacinamide: Pairing with Niacinamide can offer enhanced benefits for pore refinement, oil control, and brightening.
- Sunscreen: Non-negotiable. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this product.
- ⚠️ Use With Caution:
- Other Exfoliants (AHAs, BHA, Retinoids): LHA is gentle, but layering multiple strong exfoliants can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. It's best to alternate nights. For example, use this cream on nights you are not using a high-strength retinol or glycolic acid serum.
- High-Concentration Vitamin C: If you have very sensitive skin, apply Vitamin C in the morning and this LHA cream in the evening to avoid potential irritation from using multiple low-pH products simultaneously.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- 🟢 Excellent For:
- Oily Skin: Provides necessary hydration without adding grease, while LHA helps control sebum and keep pores clear.
- Combination Skin: Balances the oily T-zone by decongesting pores, while hydrating drier areas without causing breakouts.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Helps prevent non-inflammatory acne (blackheads, whiteheads) by gently exfoliating and maintaining a healthy skin balance.
- 🟡 Good For (with caution):
- Sensitive Skin: LHA is considered gentler than traditional Salicylic Acid, but a patch test is crucial. Start with use every other night to assess tolerance.
- 🔴 Not Ideal For:
- Very Dry Skin: While it provides hydration, it may not be occlusive or rich enough to satisfy the needs of very dry skin, which typically requires heavier creams with more emollients.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This cream is expertly formulated to address the following concerns, which are particularly common in Mauritius' warm and humid climate:
- Enlarged Pores: LHA penetrates into the pores to clear out hardened sebum and debris, helping them appear smaller and more refined over time.
- Uneven Skin Texture: By gently 'peeling' away the surface layer of dead skin cells, it helps to smooth rough patches and bumpy texture.
- Excess Sebum & Shine: Helps to balance oil production, leading to a less greasy appearance throughout the day.
- Blackheads & Whiteheads: The continuous gentle exfoliation helps prevent the formation of comedones (clogged pores) that lead to blackheads and whiteheads.
Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): A derivative of Salicylic Acid that is gentler and has a pH closer to the skin's natural level. It's oil-soluble, allowing it to effectively exfoliate within the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum.
- Phe-Hexanediol: A patented ingredient that functions as a powerful anti-sebum agent, helping to control oil production and reduce shine.
- Centella Asiatica Extract: A beloved K-beauty ingredient known for its powerful soothing and skin-repairing properties. It helps calm any potential irritation from exfoliation.
- Apple Fruit Extract: A natural source of malic acid (a mild AHA) and antioxidants, which helps to further smooth skin texture and protect against environmental damage.
- Broccoli Extract: Rich in antioxidants like sulforaphane, it helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and maintain skin health.

Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
The AXIS-Y LHA Peel & Fill Pore Balancing Cream is an excellent match for the Mauritian climate.
- Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy texture provides essential hydration without feeling heavy or sticky on hot, humid days. The sebum-regulating properties are perfect for combating the increased oiliness many experience during summer.
- Drier Winters: While our winters are mild, you might find your skin needs a bit more moisture. During this time, you can easily layer this cream over a hydrating toner or serum (like one with Hyaluronic Acid) to boost hydration without switching to a heavy, pore-clogging cream.
- Indoors & Air-Conditioning: Constant exposure to AC can dehydrate the skin, even if it's oily. This cream helps maintain the skin's moisture balance, preventing the tightness and potential for rebound oiliness caused by dry indoor air.
