Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator is a simultaneous skin resurfacing and "replenishing" serum held to surpass the results of a conventional 20% daily glycolic acid treatment while simultaneously reinforcing the skin’s barrier for more moist, comfortable skin.
Similar to Skinceuticals Intense Line Defense, Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator produces both intensive exfoliation and hydration to help avoid skin dehydration, hypersensitivity and erythema which can occur with the use of high concentration skin resurfacing agents such as Jan Marini Bioglycolic Night Cream Rx and Glycolix Elite Facial Cream 20%.
Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator visibly diminishes fine lines, smoothes and softens skin texture and helps accelerate skin renewal.
Contains 25% "paradoxal compound" (Hydroxyethyl Urea/Aminosulfonic Acid — patent pending) which is effective at promoting cell differentiation while optimizing the skin's amino acid supply to reinforce the skin barrier, resulting in efficient epidermal renewal.
Sulfonic acid and urea, also available in Biomedic Exfozyme and Biomedic LHA Serum, are extremely effective and comfortable exfoliators and moisturizers for dry, mature skin.
Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator:
Unlike conventional formulations containing high concentrations of urea, Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator is more stable, lacks the scent of ammonia and is not sticky or tacky. Unlike glycolic acid, Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator will not deactivate retinoids or reduce the efficacy of salicylic acid if used as directed. In addition, the product may enhance the efficacy of kojic, ferulic and caffeic acids.
Retexturing Activator also contains Kombuchka and Hyaluronic Acid.
Potent without harsh side effects, Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator is formulated in an efficient, oil-free delivery system suitable for all skin types.
For best results, dry skin types should use Retexturing Activator in combination with sulfate-free cleansers and moisturizers containing ceramides.
