✓ Foaming PHA Face Wash | ✓ Maltobionic Acid for Gentle Resurfacing | ✓ Cleanses, Exfoliates and Removes Make-Up

Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash is the prep step that jump-starts the AGE REVERSE regimen: a foaming, gently exfoliating face wash rich in botanicals and polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) that removes make-up, cleanses and exfoliates in one step. Soap free and creamy, it is the PHA face wash for normal and ageing skin that wants a fresh, new-looking complexion morning and night.

Its PHA blend combines gluconolactone, found naturally in skin, with maltobionic acid, a sugar-derived PHA that Exuviance says helps reduce the look of discolouration, lines, enlarged pores and roughness through gentle exfoliation while attracting moisture for added comfort. Botanical extracts of aloe, rose, camomile, rosemary and cucumber refresh and revitalise for a med-spa inspired feel. Used twice daily within the AGE REVERSE regimen, Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash formed part of a four-week consumer study in which 98% reported smoother texture, 94% said skin was firmer, 92% said fine lines were less noticeable and 87% said age spots appeared lighter.

Busy routines that need one cleanser to do it all

Choose Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash if you want a cleanser that starts an anti-ageing routine properly, with gentle PHA exfoliation every morning and night.

Clients come to Becci for straight answers, and as a registered aesthetics nurse with more than two decades in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics she is honest that a cleanser has to earn its place. Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash does: it exfoliates as gently as a PHA can while it cleans, which is why she recommends it to clients who want a smoother, firmer-looking start to their routine without the sting of a stronger acid.

Size: 125ml

Is Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash good for sensitive skin? +

It is one of the gentler exfoliating cleansers you can choose. Exuviance describes PHAs as gentle exfoliators for any skin type, including sensitive skin, and the formula is soap free. It does contain rose flower oil and scent compounds, so patch test first if your skin reacts to fragrance.

Is AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash the same as AGE REVERSE BioActive Wash? +

Yes - it is the same product. Exuviance names it AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash, though you will also see it written BioActive Wash, and in the US it is sold as AGE REVERSE+ BioActiv Wash Foaming PHA Facial Cleanser.

Does it remove make-up? +

Yes. Exuviance describes the soap-free formula as effectively cleansing and removing make-up, so it removes make-up, cleanses and exfoliates in one step. Avoid getting it into the eyes.

What is maltobionic acid? +

Maltobionic acid is a sugar-derived polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Exuviance says it helps reduce the look of discolouration, lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and roughness through gentle exfoliation, while also attracting moisture for added hydration and comfort.

Can I use Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash with retinol? +

Yes. Exuviance recommends its gentle PHA formulations alongside retinol, because retinol can leave skin feeling sensitive and dry. That makes this PHA wash a natural partner for the retinol-containing AGE REVERSE Day Repair SPF 30.

What results did the AGE REVERSE regimen show? +

After 4 weeks, 94% said skin was firmer, 98% said they had smoother skin texture, 92% said fine lines were less noticeable and 87% said age spots appeared lighter. These figures are the percentage of respondents noting improvement after twice-daily use of BioActiv Wash and Eye Contour with Day Repair and Night Lift daily.

What is the difference between BioActiv Wash and Deep Clean AHA Cleanser? +

BioActiv Wash relies on PHAs, gluconolactone and maltobionic acid, plus botanicals, and is the first step of the AGE REVERSE range. Deep Clean AHA Cleanser adds glycolic acid, an AHA, for a deeper clean on normal and combination skin, and carries a sunburn alert.

How often should I use it? +

Twice daily, morning and evening. Massage over wet skin to cover the whole face, then rinse thoroughly with water.

Can I use Exuviance AGE REVERSE BioActiv Wash during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

It contains PHAs (gluconolactone and maltobionic acid) and no vitamin A, the ingredient most people are asked to avoid. Exuviance states there are no known safety concerns with using cosmetic products during pregnancy, but recommends that anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy seeks advice before using any skincare product. Cosmetic PHAs are generally considered suitable at this time, but please check with your midwife or GP before use.
