Since having my fourth baby and inching towards 40, I have become committed to taking better care of my skin. I have come to appreciate the importance of a good skincare routine going into this new chapter of my life after years of neglect and substandard skin care products left my skin looking old and dull. Often, the rejuvenating skin care treatments needed to keep my skin youthful and supple have just not been in my budget. But healthy skin doesn’t have to be expensive with a home Glycolic Acid/PHA treatment.
Glycolic Acid/PHA treatment is a quick and painless daily treatment that exfoliates dead skin cells, encourages the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, delivers better hydration, reduces wrinkles, and can even decrease skin discolorations. When I was asked by Brandbacker to sample and review EXUVIANCE® Retexturing Treatment, a home Glycolic Acid/PHA treatment, I was excited to try this product by this reputable brand.
The Brand
Two commonly renowned leaders in the field of cosmetic dermatology—Drs. Van Scott and Yu— created EXUVIANCE® by revealing the anti-aging benefits of Glycolic Acid. Through this discovery, they invented the first Glycolic Peel. Since their innovative discovery, EXUVIANCE® formulas have been expertly created to transform skin visibly at home.

- Exfoliates and lightly hydrates the skin.
- PHA/Bionic Blend, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter help moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Appropriate for the treatment of Keratosis Pilaris.

Also, since this product contains Glycolic Acid, your skin may be sensitive to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. It’s important to use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product.
Review and Results
When I first applied the EXUVIANCE® Retexturing Treatment to my fingers, the first thing I noticed was the light, pleasant fragrance. Often, beauty treatments don’t smell good, but this product was smelled surprisingly good. I was also really surprised with how silky the lotion felt between my fingers, compared to similar products I have used in the past.
I applied the product after showering by gently rubbing the lotion into the skin on my upper thighs. At first, I noticed a little bit of tingling for a few minutes that dissipated within a few moments as my skin became accustomed to the ingredients.
I can already see and feel the remarkable effects of the Glycolic Acid/PHA Formula after only a couple of uses. In my case, the Keratosis Pilaris on my upper thigh immediately became smoother, softer, and less noticeable. While there are still a few rough spots after the initial treatment, I am certain they will be exfoliated with successive applications.
Overall, I was really pleased with this product and will definitely buy again. EXUVIANCE® Retexturing Treatment retails for $42 for 6 oz. and is available at www.exuviance.com.
