Multi tasking

This is great as a serum and I’ve been adding it to the clay mask to add a bit of pore clarity. If you have sensitive skin use slowly

My morning staple!

I've been using the Retexturing Activator Exfoliating + Hydrating Serum for several years now and love it. It serves a dual role as an exfoliator and hyaluronic acid serum in one, eliminating the need for two separate serums. I use this in the morning directly after my Vitamin C serum followed by a moisturizer then sunscreen as my last step. It has a very light gel consistency and doesn't feel sticky or tacky. I've definitely noticed a positive change in texture, pore size, moisture retention and my previously dull skin now has a more radiant glow. I'm very pleased with the results and will continue to use as a part of my skincare regime.

Effective

This does exactly what it says it will. A huge help for ingrown hairs, too.

I like it

The serum absorbs easily, provides good hydration, and at the same time delivers gentle, effective exfoliation.

Not my favorite

I like skin ceutical products and use the vitamin C serum as well as a couple others regularly. For me though I didn’t find a benefit from this one. I have not repurchased.

Amazing

I’ve you used this serum for ten years. My skin always remains clear and smooth. I like the little bit of shine it leaves on my skin. It’s not an oily shine. It’s from having healthy looking skin.

Recommended by esthetician

I think it’s working well? I love skinceuticals. My esthetician recommended this product to me and it seems to be helping with adult acne and I wake up feeling my skin has improved.

I really wanted this to work…

I was really hoping that this product would work for me. I ended up breaking out around my chin & cheeks a few days after using it. I’m sure it works for many as the reviews are mainly positive. It was a no for me, unfortunately.

It works good!

This serum does help my skin lightly exfoliate..definitely not a deep exfoliation. I use it every 3rd night because I tend to have sensitive skin. I like it but can live without it unlike my other 2 Skinceuticals serums.

Excellent

Really works. Makes my skin baby soft and helps with the dry flakey skin that I get from using Retin A. I also think it helps with acne. It says to use 2 times per day but I use it 2 times per week. My skin is already very sensitive and the Retinol A adds to it, so maybe someone with less sensitive skin could use it more often. I love that it's truly fragrance free and safe for sensitive skin / rosacea. I have a fragrance allergy and many companies call their products fragrance free but it's loaded with essential oils and extracts. This is approved by SkinSafe for people with fragrance allergies.

Not too sure

Although I love the way it makes my skin feel especially the next day. It brought back my rosacea. I want to like this so bad but I don’t know what to do.

Good product

Haven't used long enough to see much difference but it doesn't irritate my skin and I think it's helping with moisture. Difficult to tell as have to use a cream on my face for rosacea which is drying.

Great acne fighting tool

I've added this to my routine at night and I notice my acne and acne scars noticeably improved. I don't typically use it in the morning since I already use a lot of active exfoliating ingredients but on the months where breakouts can be really bad I throw this in the mix and I feel it shortens the length of the breakout. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't burn, sting, or make my face red at all. Very gentle and soothing, feels very hydrating.

SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator Exfoliating Hydrating Serum

I love this product. Have been using it for years. My skin is practically wrinkle free even though I'm in my late 60's. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated.

Serum is good for sensitive skin

I like the serum, it helps with moisture and it even out skin texture. I noticed a difference in 2 weeks. Skin was smother and appeared to be healthier. This is my second bottle I will continue to use it. Does not irritate my rosacea.

Use it for Nightly Skin Routine

I use this after I use SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E Antioxidant Night Concentrate Treatment and it seems to be working well. I like the combination of the two.
