Oat Milk PHA Serum

If you’ve ever used an Aveeno oat lotion, you know that uniquely soothing, emollient feel—like a hug for irritated skin. This serum delivers that same oat-powered magic, but in a lightweight gel-serum form. True to its oat milk base, it left my skin overnight-soft, almost like I’d used a moisturizing mask. The 5% PHA (lactobionic acid) is the star for gentle pore refinement—no AHA/BHA aggression, just gradual smoothing.

A heads-up: The formula dries with a slight tackiness (likely from all that hydration!), so I layer a moisturizer over it. But that’s a fair trade for how plump and calm my skin looks by morning. Ideal for anyone craving oat’s comforting effects with subtle exfoliation.

As someone with rosacea, I'm impressed by how effectively this calms my skin while keeping it hydrated. The featherlight texture makes it perfect for daytime use, absorbing quickly without any greasy residue. A true multitasker for sensitive complexions.

I discovered this brand on tiktok because of this serum, and was immediately gravitated towards everything this brand advocates for. This was my first purchase from equalrxn, and I have no complaints. This product instantly adds hydration and glow to my skin, doesn't have a harsh smell, the amount of product that comes from 1 pump is perfect, and the packaging is so cute. Love everything about this brand.

It left my skin soft, hydrated and calmed. I like the fact that it also gentle exfoliates the skin. It’s lightweight but left a sticky finish. I’ll definitely repurchase

My oily skin isn't a huge fan of AHA or general leave-on exfoliants and easily irritated. Since this serum is formulated with PHA, which is a more gentle exfoliant than AHAs are, I was curious to see how much of a difference it made. And, for me, it made ALL the difference: It exfoliates fine without irritating my skin! Definitely great if your skin is more sensitive to exfoliants, too. The added oat and mushroom also rly help with that!

Additionally I want say that I love the new packaging - the pump bottle was a great, handy improvement!

I'm a big fan of the transition to a pump dispenser, which was my only issue with this serum. It's such a gentle yet effective way to keep my pores clean and really helps tackle flakiness due to tree use while still being gentle enough to not sensitize the skin. This is holy grail material in my book. Will repurchase indefinitely.

It's all about this lactobionic acid! Amazing product that completely rescued my peeling skin.

So tired of buying artificially thickened serums. Saw this oat serum on Instagram and was drawn to the scientific synergy. Love the scent and texture - really impressive!

Excellent moisturizing and oil-control effects with a really nice texture. Absolutely love how it feels!

On my countless bottle of this essential serum. It moisturizes, exfoliates, smooths skin, and remains gentle - truly an outstanding product!

Good, good, good! Just works perfectly without any fuss.

A must-have for combination-dry skin every winter. Still have a small bottle from last year but already stocked up on new ones!

Such a gentle acid! Though it feels a bit sticky at first, it disappears quickly. As someone with combo-oily skin who needs acids but fears harsh ones, this rides the line perfectly. After consistent use, no new breakouts or closed comedones - just placed another order!

Absorbs quickly without stickiness! Texture is as refreshing as water. Great exfoliation that leaves skin smooth without oiliness. My skin feels so clear after use - completely sold!

I find this works best in winter with its exceptional hydration that really locks in moisture. After 7 days of use: no allergic reactions, sensitive-skin friendly, and I can feel it accelerating skin metabolism while gently addressing minor keratosis pilaris. Will repurchase if I see brightening effects after finishing the bottle.

Such a hydrating texture! As someone with dry, sensitive skin, this feels refreshing and absorbs well. Excited to see long-term results!

I have sensitive skin and rosacea on my cheeks. So far, this product has been fine with my skin, with no adverse effects. There is a slight smell, nothing overpowering. It is easy to pump out the product; it goes on my skin nicely and absorbs well. I have experienced no burning or stinging, and my skin is hydrated afterward. I will update my review as I continue to use this if anything changes. So far, so good!

This innovative serum combines the mild exfoliation of 5% lactobionic acid with deeply nourishing ingredients like snow mushroom and oat milk. While I can tolerate stronger actives, I've come to appreciate this gentler formula for regular use - it keeps my oily skin clear and glowing without causing irritation or breakouts. The perfect balance of exfoliation and care.

A standout serum that my reactive skin tolerates beautifully! Packed with beneficial ingredients like snow mushroom (an antioxidant powerhouse I already trust), it provides deep hydration without irritation. Though not noticeably exfoliating, it gives my skin a healthy radiance and velvety texture. Ideal for my sun-exposed skin during this break from retinol - has earned a permanent spot in my evening routine.

So good! Skin rexture has already slightly improved for the past week. Cant wait to see its full potential! Amazing product :)

Love this product so soothing and smoothing in a gentle way

This product is so good, my skin was irritated from a product that I was using and this serum calm my irritation and soothe my skin. Excellent formulation.

Love this serum. Doesn’t aggravate my rosacea yet hydrates and exfoliates. No scent, which is a huge plus

After having a terrible reaction to a peel, I don’t think I’ll ever try another exfoliant again! This has always worked for me. It’s never irritating, and always leaves my skin texture so smooth. Love it!

Helped my skin to reduce redness and soothing

This manages to be gently exfoliating, calming, hydrating and have a great formulation.

I don't use it every day but I've been able to use it twice a week with a retinal on all the other days and I haven't experienced any dryness or any issues. I think that's pretty awesome because it's the only exfoliating product that's been able to do that and I tried a bunch that were supposed to be formulated for dry or sensitive skin. I am very impressed with Equalrxn. When they say a product will do something it most certainly does that. Very very effective but mild. I do not have acne, I have some blemishes here and there so people who experience that might want something stronger but I would definitely recommend this product because you don't need something harsh for it to work. Well done and will repurchase.
