Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator Exfoliating + Hydrating Serum
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.

Second try...
The Retexturing Activator Serum was recommended by my dermatologist to use on alternating nights with tretinoin 0.1%. On my first try, I had to get up out of bed after 30 mins and wash it off because it was stinging so badly! Discussed with a customer service rep at LovelySkin, and we decided I should try again before returning. On second try, I applied ONE drop to cheeks (not on apples which seem to be super sensitive on me), chin and upper lip. I was amazed that I could tell a difference in my skin overnight!!! I have proceeded to use the product cautiously and am very pleased with it.

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.

Love this stuff
I use this everyday right after I apply the CE Ferulic serum. It has helps cure my skin or break outs. I will definitely keep buying this.

Moisturizing and irritation-free
This product works and it is definitely moisturizing. As a protein Biochemist, I appreciate the science behind this product--it's accurate! It is also a unique idea. Rather than using acids to exfoliate, one of the main ingredients activates enzymes on your face to do so. I actually like products with alpha-hydroxy acids but as I age, I need something less aggressive in the winter to prevent milia. This works!

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.

Ok but not great.
Not really sure what it does because I’ve used it for a while and don’t feel it delivers what it says it will.

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!

Hmmmm it is just okay
I have been using this for a little over two weeks now. It goes on slippery and soaks in quickly. It's hydrating but I don't think it does much else. I don't think it's worth the money and I will not purchase it again. There's nothing wrong with it, just nothing exceptional about 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.
