D.E.R.M.A.B.R.A.S.I.O.N. cream is a cream-based, at-home skin resurfacing treatment. This treatment leverages the synergistic effects of Lactic acid, Salicylic acid, Lactobionic acid, and Retinol to facilitate the exfoliation of dead skin cells, thereby inducing cell renewal. The gentle polyhydroxy acid, Lactobionic acid, demonstrates antioxidant activity that contributes to chelating enzymes responsible for ageing. Salicylic acid, being a lipid-soluble beta (aromatic) hydroxy acid, effectively reduces pores and enhances the penetration of active ingredients. Lactic acid aids in skin hydration, while Retinol stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis and exerts powerful antioxidant effects. This formulation collaborates to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to bestow a radiant, healthy glow to the skin.

Key Benefits

  • Offers an at-home resurfacing option to enhance professional treatment results.
  • Contributes to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Brightens the skin and imparts a vibrant glow.
  • Stimulates cell renewal.
How to Use

Apply to dry skin only — do not use on damp or wet skin.

Shake the tube before use. Squeeze a small amount onto dry hands and apply evenly to the face, neck, and décolleté. Gently massage into the skin for 30–60 seconds. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then remove using pHformula E.X.F.O. Cleanse (applied with dry hands). Rinse thoroughly with room temperature water and pat dry. Follow with your recommended pHformula mask, serum, and moisturiser.

Frequency of use (PM only):

  • Very mild treatment: once every 2 weeks
  • Mild treatment: once a week
  • Intensive treatment: twice a week

Mild tingling may occur. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult your skin specialist. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily when using this product.

Key Ingredients

Lactic Acid (AHA) – Gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation and cellular renewal while simultaneously hydrating the skin.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) – Lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into the pores, clears congestion, refines pore size, and enhances the penetration of other active ingredients.

Lactobionic Acid (PHA) – A next-generation polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates without irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, and delivers antioxidant activity that helps neutralise the enzymes responsible for skin ageing.

Retinol Complex – Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, accelerates cell turnover, and acts as a powerful antioxidant — targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

PH-DVC™ (Proprietary Delivery Complex) – pHformula's exclusive transdermal delivery system that drives active ingredients deeper into the skin for enhanced efficacy and faster, more visible results.

Saccharomyces Lysate Extract & Lactobacillus Ferment – Probiotic-derived ingredients that support the skin's microbiome, strengthen the barrier, and reduce sensitivity.
