Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator Exfoliating + Hydrating Serum
Very good
This is a very good exfoliating product without harsh exfoliating the skin. It's like you getting your skin exfoliating at night while sleeping, and the next morning the skin is glowing. I don't use it as much though, only 2 or 3 times per week because my skin started to break out if I use it too often during the week. Worth the purchase though.

Liquid gold
Retexturizing Actvator is pure liquid gold. The results were immediate. I couldn’t live without this magical serum. I have been using it for years religiously. Best money ever spent. It's a photo-facial in a bottle.

Retexturing serum
I cannot use my usual retinol products at the moment, so my dermatologist recommended this in the interim to add a little "glow" to my skin. So far, I have been really happy with this product. It does not irritate my skin or cause redness, and it gently exfoliates my skin. It is not as strong as a retinol product, but it is good if you can't use retinol.

Another Not to Miss
Every time I think I am done using this product, I return to it. It works for me in the winter and summer. I live in the very humid and hot South–most products melt or will cause breakouts. Not this one. This has now been incorporated into my every day and night routine.

Great substitute for glycolic
I use this only at night once a week as a treatment for my face and neck. I cleanse my face using a sensitive cleanser (no toner afterwards) I apply my NuGene Universal Serum, Timeless Matrxyl S6 wait 15 min for it to absorb then apply on dry skin. I finish with my TNS ceramide moisturizer. For my sensitive neck area I do the same above, the only difference is that I mix a few drops with my TNS moisturizer then apply. Works best this way for me.

Great Product!
I have been using this product for years. I apply in the mornings, and it helps to slough away dead skin cells, keeping my skin looking smooth and young.

Very moisturizing, perfect for my acne-prone skin!!
Skinceuticals products has never disappointed me!! I was looking for a serum and moisturizer to tackle dry skin and textural concerns (old acne scars and PIH). Although I haven’t noticed a large affect on my pigmentation (see Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense serum, it’s WONDERFUL for that), I have noticed a great overall benefit to my skin texture. First off, this serum doubles as my active and moisturizer. It moisturizes my skin very well and does not feel heavy/sticky once it absorbs into the skin, so I don’t feel the need for additional moisturizer. Also, I experienced no irritation/redness from this product. I would definitely recommend it to those with similar concerns!

Desert Island Product!!!! Helping fade acne scarring
Wow! Thank you to all the Reviewers - I want to echo ALL of the positive reviews here, and I wish I had purchased much sooner. I have done countless peels, facials and treatments, and this product plus a super high-quality hyaluronic acid product (really love Cellex-C Hydra 5 B-Complex), Vanicream sensitive skin face cleanser are transforming my sensitive combo skin from adult acne prone/cystic spots, acne scarred, hyperpigmented, dehydrated but oily to ten years younger, smoother, smaller pores, shrinking some many of the scarred pores, removing old cystic acne damage, fighting fine lines and just overall improving my skin in a week. This is the product I needed to get through the plateau I was experiencing. I have found this works best with a hyaluronic acid product applied before (after works good too) and followed with another application of hyaluronic acid gently patted in and thermal mineral spray (LRP, Avene etc) to enhance moisture levels and help serums absorb. I couldn’t be happier with the product and the price is worth every penny compared to how many products this has replaced. I am actually saving money!! Super impressed and thankful, and I hope his helps many others if they are needing to exfoliate without downtime.

One of my favorite Skinceuticals products!
I use this every morning and every other night (the other nights I use a retinol product). I have noticed that my skin immediately began feeling smoother and softer. I have only been using it for about a month, and I hope to continue to see improvements in my skin texture. I love the consistency. It has a nice slip and glides on smooth.

Excellent
Started using this product as part of the brightening system package which provided excellent results. Happily re-ordered to keep up the regimen as this was the product that ran out fastest. Tried going without for a bit but noticed very quickly that my face wasn't nearly as nice without it.

How did I never know about this??
This is literally a life saver. Exfoliants take forever to work but ever since I started using this, my skin is sooo much better!

Another great SkinCeuticals product
I’m new to using this product. It was recommended to me by a dermatologist. I’ve been using it at night after using a dermroller. I’m pleased with it so far. I’m hoping over time it will help with the evenness of my skin texture.

Excellent product, even for sensitive skin!
I received a sample of this and was pleasantly surprised when my face appeared more moisturized and bright, especially when I was expecting it to irritate my sensitive skin because of the glycolic acid. My skin is so smooth and clear since using this. I'm trying to use as little as possible though, because I layer it over the CE Ferulic, and the two together make my face super shiny and oily looking. Other than that, this is a wonderful product, and I'm glad to add it to my daily regime.

great for my sensitive skin
My aesthetician recommended this product as a daily exfoliant. I tend to have sensitive skin, and this doesn't feel harsh on my face like other exfoliants. I put it on at night and wake up with baby smooth skin. This is a staple in my skincare routine.

Spot remover
Love this retexturing product! It has really worked wonders on two small age spots I had on my cheek. Neither are there anymore. At first, it took me a few days to get the amount I needed just right. It was tacky and sticky on my face, and then I figured out that I was using too much. Just a few drops will do. You'll love it!

good addition to my morning serums
I've been using the Retexturing Activator for a little over a month and it's been a good addition to my morning routine. I use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, the Retexturing Activator followed with the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. I then apply sunscreen before doing my makeup. I haven't had any product pilling at all so I'm extremely pleased.
