Retexturing Activator Benefits

Bi-functional facial exfoliation and hydration

Increases the look of overall radiance

Balances moisture levels to diminish surface lines and wrinkles

Ideal for all skin types

Stimulates enzymes that help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface

Retexturing Activator Exfoliating Serum

Dual action exfoliating serum removes dead skin cells from the surface, to visibly reduce fine lines, hyperpigmentation and blemishes. It also hydrates and reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier with hyaluronic acid. Combining these two key mechanisms – exfoliating and hydrating – encourages optimal skin cell renewal. Scientific tests have found SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator Serum produces better results than 20% glycolic acid treatment applied daily. Retexturing Activator is an oil-free, replenishing, resurfacing, and exfoliating serum that helps stimulate new skin cell turnover and reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier for healthier, more radiant looking skin.

As we age, our skin’s cell turnover rate slows. Acne-prone skin also sees dead skin cells blocking pores instead of being shed. This unique resurfacing serum is highly effective at promoting skin cell renewal to create a more youthful appearance to skin.

The Science Behind
Retexturing Activator

Accelerating Skin Cell Turnover

Skin Cell turnover is naturally occurring process whereby the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and skin cell turnover decreases, the skin repairs more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the visible appearance of signs of ageing.

Target reduced skin turnover by incorporating hydroxyethylurea into your routine. A powerful humectant, urea maintains moisture levels and supports skin cell turnover.

Exfoliation Pro Tips

DO: Pay Attention to Skin Type
Physical exfoliators manually remove dead cells and are effective on oily or combination skin. Chemical exfoliators are gentle enough for sensitive skin, and use acids to remove cells.

DON’T: Over-Exfoliate
To prevent irritation, exfoliate only as often as necessary. Visible redness or small bumps may be a sign that your skin is over-exfoliated.

Physician's Insight

"As a dermatologist, I like urea for its many benefits. It is both a humectant and a moisturiser, collectively improving the skin moisture barrier function. It is keratolytic, meaning it exfoliates the skin without excessive irritation. I use the Retexturing Activator Serum (urea based serum) in my acne patients who have sensitive skin and who are intolerant to AHA/BHA products.”
