FAQ

Q: Can I use Retexturing Activator if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, rosacea, and eczema. The oil-free formula has been clinically tested to deliver resurfacing results without the harsh side effects typically associated with glycolic acid treatments. However, we always recommend performing a patch test and consulting with our skincare experts for personalised guidance.

Q: How does Retexturing Activator compare to glycolic acid treatments?
A: In an eight-week dermatologist-controlled study, Retexturing Activator was found to surpass the results of a 20% glycolic acid daily-use treatment without the associated irritation. The patented 25% Hydroxyethyl Urea/Aminosulfonic Acid Compound provides powerful exfoliation whilst simultaneously reinforcing the skin's barrier, offering superior results with enhanced tolerability.

Q: Should I use this serum in the morning, evening, or both?
A: For optimal results, apply Retexturing Activator twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as the serum promotes cell turnover which can increase sun sensitivity.

Q: How long before I see results?
A: Many users notice immediate improvements in skin smoothness and radiance. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements in surface lines and texture within eight weeks of consistent twice-daily use. For best results, incorporate this serum as part of a comprehensive SkinCeuticals regimen.

Q: Can I use Retexturing Activator with other active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C?
A: Yes, Retexturing Activator can be layered with other SkinCeuticals products. For optimal results, apply after antioxidant serums and before moisturisers. Speak to our experts for personalised layering recommendations based on your specific skin concerns and existing routine.

Q: Would this serum help with acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, Retexturing Activator is suitable for acne-prone skin. The gentle exfoliating action helps prevent pore congestion whilst the oil-free formula won't contribute to breakouts. The serum promotes healthy cell turnover, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scarring and improve overall skin texture.
