| Verdict | The gentlest chemical exfoliant you'll find — 8% PHA (gluconolactone) buffs away dead skin cells without the sting, redness, or purging that AHA and BHA are known for. PHA molecules are larger than AHA, so they work on the surface without penetrating deep enough to cause irritation, while still attracting moisture (PHA is a humectant). Biodance layers this with their signature six-ceramide complex and chlorella extract, turning what could be a one-note exfoliant into a barrier-supporting treatment toner. Perfect for sensitive skin that needs texture refinement but can't tolerate glycolic or salicylic acid. | Mediheal extends its cult pad lineup into anti-age — marine collagen plus peptides on a swipe-and-go pad, the laziest possible firming step. |
