The celimax Cica PHA Peel 2-Step Gel Mask is a two-part exfoliating and soothing treatment designed for gentle dead skin care. Each pack contains four individual sets, with Step 1 being a PHA 10% Exfoliating Peeling Stick and Step 2 a Cica Cooling Gel Mask. PHA (polyhydroxy acid) is a mild chemical exfoliant known for its gradual, low-irritation action, making it suitable for those with sensitive or reactive skin. The 10% concentration helps remove dead skin cells, refine skin texture, and minimize the appearance of pores without the strong sting associated with higher-strength acids. The stick format allows targeted application along the face, avoiding unnecessary contact with the eye area.

After exfoliation, Step 2 delivers a cooling, soothing layer formulated with centella asiatica (cica) extract. This gel mask helps calm any temporary redness or warmth, hydrates the skin, and reinforces the skin barrier. The cooling sensation is gentle and not overpowering, intended to provide comfort after exfoliation. The product is free from harsh alcohols, artificial fragrances, and synthetic colors, which helps reduce the risk of irritation. The formula prioritizes a balanced approach to exfoliation and recovery, making it appropriate for weekly or bi-weekly use as part of a skincare routine. It is particularly suited for individuals seeking a non-aggressive exfoliating option that also offers post-treatment soothing. The two-step system streamlines the process, combining exfoliation with immediate calming care in one product. This product is best used on cleansed, dry skin, followed by a moisturizer or sunscreen during the day.
