The Science Behind Retexturing Activator

Accelerating Cell Turnover

Cell turnover is a naturally occurring process during which the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and turnover decreases, the cells heal more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the appearance of visible signs of aging.

Combat decreased cell turnover by incorporating hydroxyethyl urea into your routine. A powerful humectant, hydroxyethyl urea maintains moisture levels and supports cell turnover, found in Discoloration Defense.

Pro Tips

DO: Pay Attention to Type

Physical exfoliators manually remove dead cells and are effective on oily or combination skin. Chemical exfoliators are gentle enough for sensitive skin, and use acids to remove cells.

DON’T: Over-Exfoliate

To prevent irritation, exfoliate only as often as necessary. Redness, inflammation, or small bumps may be a sign that your skin is over-exfoliated.
