If you’re going to use a professional-strength level of glycolic acid, you’re almost guaranteed a good exfoliation and hydration session. But for some of us, irritation is also a sure thing with this well-established AHA. You can accept the irritation in your quest for a great complexion, or, with a little help from SkinCeuticals, you can achieve super skin without the side effects.
The celebrated skincare brand offers the Retexturing Activator, a “bi-functional resurfacing and replenishing serum.” Those two functions are familiar to glycolic-acid users, but there isn’t a trace of it in this breakthrough formula. Instead, a special cell-renewing compound acts like an above-adequate substitute, matching and even surpassing the effects of a 20% glycolic acid treatment-sans irritation.
Retexturing Activator is a perfect pick for anyone in need of noticeable smoothing and clarifying. Its combination of enzyme-stimulating technology and amino acid optimization ensures real-and really gentle-radiance.
