Description

pHformula MD AGE Active Recovery is an advanced multi-corrective treatment for Ageing skin. It helps to reduce visible signs of skin ageing which include fine lines, pigment changes and a dull, sallow skin tone. Suitable for mature, sun-damaged, dehydrated skins. It is not suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients include Retinol and Pyruvic Acid which stimulate collagen, elastin and dermal glycoproteins. Glycolic Acid reduces skin dullness. Galactaric Acid helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress while Pycnogenol®, a powerful antioxidant, helps to reduce inflammation, calming irritated skin. Niacinamide, also a potent antioxidant, improves the epidermal barrier function, resulting in less irritation. Argan Plant Stem Cells improve the regenerative capacity of dermal stem cells, thereby achieving deep-seated rejuvenation of the skin. PH-DVC™ a superior delivery complete,x is used in the pHformula formulations to enhance the penetration of active ingredients. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. No added colour. No lanolin or mineral oil.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: pHformula MD AGE Active Recovery is a unique targeted anti-ageing gel serum that is fast-absorbing, delivering multi-ingredients into the skin via a sophisticated delivery system. It enhances overall skin health while preventing future skin damage with its potent blend of ingredients, especially antioxidants. It can be used on its own or under a neutral cream such as pHformula POST Recovery Cream, depending on your skin hydration requirements

    This cream is part of my daily routine together with the post recovery cream and EXFO cleanser. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this combo in the evening works wonders for me.
