    Q&A

    Q&A

    What is Retexturing Activator face exfoliator used for?
    Retexturing Activator is an exfoliating serum that helps improve skin texture by resurfacing the skin’s surface with even exfoliation. The key ingredient of hydroxyethyl urea/aminosulfonic acid compound is included to break down the bonds between dead skin cells and the skin to maintain moisture while evenly exfoliating the skin's surface. Kombucha and hyaluronic acid are also included in this resurfacing serum to promote smooth, radiant skin.
    Should I use Retexturing Activator resurfacing serum in the morning or night?
    Retexturing Activator should be used twice a day or as directed by a skincare professional. To apply, dispense 4-6 drops to your face, neck, and chest in the morning and evening as part of your skincare regimen.
    What is skin retexturing?
    Retexturing refers to the process of using exfoliation products, including serums and acids, to remove dead skin cells and increase skin cell turnover. The result is smoother, firmer, and brighter skin.
    Is exfoliating good for your face?
    Yes. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin that can lead to a dull, uneven appearance. Gentle facial exfoliation helps make your skin look brighter and smoother. Over time, it can also help increase collagen production to help firm and tighten your skin and reduce the appearance of surface lines.
    What does a resurfacing serum do?
    :Resurfacing face serums are designed to promote proper exfoliation of dead skin cells while optimizing hydration and moisture levels. They can be added to your regular skincare regimen to help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall radiance of skin.
    How do you use a resurfacing serum?
