SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator
SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator is a non-oily, dual-action exfoliating serum that resurfaces and replenishes at the same time, smoothing rough texture while keeping skin hydrated. If you want the smoothing results of an acid exfoliant without the dryness, this hydrating urea serum is the one we recommend.
Its patented 25% hydroxyethyl urea / aminosulfonic acid compound works with the skin's own enzymes to loosen dead cells from the surface, giving an even exfoliation that SkinCeuticals compares to the resurfacing power of a daily 20% glycolic acid treatment. Kombucha, a naturally derived tea ferment, helps skin look radiant and smooth, while hyaluronic acid supplies long-lasting hydration. Because SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator balances moisture as it exfoliates, it suits dry, oily, combination, normal and sensitive skin alike, and it is oil-free.

Why This Beats a Standard Acid Toner
Traditional acid exfoliants can leave skin feeling dry and tight. This formula delivers bi-functional exfoliation and hydration in a single step, so you get resurfacing comparable to daily 20% glycolic acid while the hyaluronic acid keeps the skin barrier comfortable - ideal if acids have ever been too much for you.
Best For
Rough or uneven texture, dullness, early surface lines, dehydrated skin and anyone wanting a gentler route to resurfacing. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
