celimax Cica PHA Peel 2-Step Gel Mask (4ea) — PHA 10% Exfoliating Stick + Cooling Cica Hydrogel for Smoother Pores

This two-step single-use system pairs gentle chemical exfoliation with immediate cooling and barrier-supporting ingredients. Step 1 uses a polyhydroxy acid formula to lift and remove dead skin cells without harsh abrasion; Step 2 seals in calming Centella asiatica and moisture via an ultra-thin hydrogel sheet. The kit is designed for low-irritation dead skin care suitable for those who want visible smoothing and a refreshed feel after a short at-home session.

How does the PHA 10% peeling stick work to improve skin texture?

The PHA (polyhydroxy acid) formula loosens and dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells, promoting smoother surface appearance while being milder than stronger acids. It targets rough patches and buildup without aggressive scrubbing, reducing visible unevenness over repeated use.

• PHA 10% concentration for enzymatic-style exfoliation
• Non-abrasive application with a wipe-on stick
• Targets dead skin, roughness, and surface buildup
• Formulated to reduce irritation risk compared with stronger AHAs/BHAs

What benefits does the Cica hydrogel mask provide after exfoliation?

The hydrogel mask delivers concentrated Centella asiatica and hydrating actives that soothe redness and strengthen the skin’s barrier after exfoliation. Its cooling, thin-fit gel adheres closely for efficient delivery of calming ingredients and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and balanced.

• Centella asiatica to help calm visible redness
• Ultra-thin hydrogel for intimate contact and even essence absorption
• Instant cooling sensation to ease post-exfoliation sensitivity
• Hydrating finish that helps skin feel softer and more supple

How do I use the two steps safely at home?

Separate the two components and start with a clean, dry face. Swipe the PHA peeling stick lightly across areas with buildup, then apply the hydrogel mask and leave it on for 30–60 minutes before removing and patting in the remaining essence.

• Cleanse and dry skin before starting
• Use the peeling stick once over the face, repeat on rough patches only
• Apply hydrogel mask to fit closely, leave 30–60 minutes
• Pat in leftover serum; follow with sunscreen if used daytime

Will this routine help with pore appearance and breakouts?

By removing surface dead skin and clearing buildup, the PHA step can help skin look smoother and pores appear less pronounced. The calming hydrogel helps reduce visible irritation that can make texture and pores look more obvious, though results depend on regular use and overall skin condition.

• Exfoliation reduces surface congestion that accentuates pores
• Soothing mask helps reduce temporary inflammation and redness
• Best used as part of a consistent skincare routine for visible improvement

Who is this for: The celimax Cica PHA Peel 2-Step Gel Mask is intended for people seeking a gentler chemical exfoliation paired with immediate soothing care—especially those with sensitive or easily irritated skin who want to refine texture, reduce the look of pores, and leave skin calmed and hydrated after a single-session treatment. Not recommended for open wounds or severe active inflammation; perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities.
