AXIS-Y – Quinoa One Step Balanced Gel Cleanser, 180ml

A gentle exfoliating gel by Axis-Y formulated with PHA, niacinamide, Centella asiatica, and fruit extracts to softly resurface skin, unclog pores, and brighten a dull complexion, without irritation. The mildest form of chemical exfoliation available, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. 

Smoother, brighter skin, without the sensitivity. The Axis-Y PHA Resurfacing Glow Peel is a gentle yet genuinely effective exfoliating gel that harnesses the power of PHA, the mildest and most skin-friendly chemical exfoliant available, to resurface, refine, and illuminate the skin without the redness, stinging, or irritation that stronger AHA and BHA formulas can cause.

PHA works on the outermost layer of the skin, gently dissolving the bonds holding dead skin cells in place and clearing away the surface buildup responsible for dullness, rough texture, and clogged pores, all while retaining moisture and actively supporting the skin barrier rather than stripping it. It is the ideal exfoliant for anyone who has found AHAs or BHAs too harsh, or for sensitive skin that needs a gentler, more nurturing approach to regular exfoliation.

Centella asiatica extract soothes irritation and strengthens the skin barrier throughout the exfoliation process, while aloe vera leaf extract hydrates and calms stressed or sensitive skin for a comfortable, nourishing experience from start to finish. Papaya extract contributes natural enzymatic exfoliation, gently refining the skin's surface texture for a smoother, more even feel alongside the PHA.

Niacinamide visibly evens skin tone, minimizes the appearance of pores, and boosts overall radiance, amplifying the brightening results of the peel for a complexion that looks noticeably more luminous with consistent use. Blueberry extract rounds out the formula with a rich antioxidant boost, protecting against the environmental stressors that drive ongoing dullness and premature skin aging.

The result is skin that feels genuinely resurfaced, soft, smooth, balanced, and glowing, without any of the downtime, sensitivity, or discomfort associated with stronger peels.
