The Science Behind Retexturing Activator

Accelerating Cell Turnover

Cell turnover is a naturally occurring process during which the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and turnover decreases, the cells heal more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the appearance of visible signs of aging.

Combat decreased cell turnover by incorporating hydroxyethyl urea into your routine. A powerful humectant, hydroxyethyl urea maintains moisture levels and supports cell turnover, found in Discoloration Defense.

What does Retexturing Activator do?

It is an oil-free resurfacing serum that exfoliates with the power of a daily 20% glycolic treatment while replenishing moisture and reinforcing the barrier.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Its oil-free, barrier-supporting formula is designed for all skin types, but introduce it gradually if reactive.

Can I use it with retinol?

Use them on alternating nights at first to avoid over-exfoliation; many people use the activator in the morning and retinol at night.

Do I need sunscreen?

Yes. Resurfacing increases sun sensitivity, so daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.
