A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Papain is an enzyme found naturally in the papaya plant's leaves, fruit, and roots. It has antimicrobial, soothing, and wound healing properties.

Glycine and Vitamin A are naturally found in papain.

While papain is often touted as skin-lightening, further studies are needed to prove this. However, papain has been shown to help soothe acne-inflammation.

Papain belongs to a class of enzymes called proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break down peptides and amino acids.

Some studies found papain to be a potential skin sensitizer and allergen. Those with latex allergies might also be allergic to papaya.

Love it, will repurchase. Despite its name, I use it in the morning. Leaves my skin feeling fresh without irritation (you don't need much product). Has no smell.

I was aware of their 'Good Morning' cleanser which seemed a little bit stripping for my sensitive skin based on their ingredient list, so I decided to try this Pha version instead. And I'm so glad I did! It helps me gently exfoliate on a daily basis without stripping my face, as my pores tend to clog.

✦ Price: Pretty reasonable for me considering that I use this product every two days plus I always buy it on sale
✦ Lasts about 5 months
