EXUVIANCE Glycolic Expert Lightweight Hydrating Antiaging Moisturizer, 1.7 fl. oz.

I love the moisturizer on my skin I went to Ulta last summer and a skin care specialist put this on my face and I left it on all day and I can tell a difference...it's not heavy ..and I have normal to dry skin... She gave me samples of this skin care line ..

EXUVIANCE Glycolic Expert Moisturizer, 1.7 fl. oz. This skincare company is a mixed bag since some of their stuff is fantastic and others are just horrible. This one is perfect - it is moisturizing with a good balance of exfoliation that really helps the moisturizing ingredients absorb. I am using this twice a day (USE SUNSCREEN!) and it has really helped with my skin - both texture and helps to plump up fine lines. It has no scent and feels wonderful. I do have to use another moisturizing serum with this since my skin is super dry. It also doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. #alcohol-free #fragrance & essentialoil-free Key Ingredients Antioxidant: Tocopheryl Acetate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract Exfoliant: Glycolic Acid Skin-identical ingredient: Arginine, Glycerin Soothing: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract ALL INGREDIENTS BY FUNCTION Antimicrobial/antibacterial: Chlorphenesin Buffering: Glycolic Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide Chelating: Disodium EDTA Emollient: Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Acetyl Hydroxyproline, Dimethicone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Caprylyl Glycol Emulsifying: Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sorbitan Stearate, PEG-40 Stearate, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Polysorbate 20 Moisturizer/humectant: Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Acetyl Hydroxyproline, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Propylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol Perfuming: Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract Preservative: Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin Solvent: Aqua/​Water/​Eau, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Surfactant/cleansing: PEG-100 Stearate, PEG-40 Stearate, PEG-75 Stearate, Ceteth-20, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Polysorbate 20 Viscosity controlling: Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Propylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum Ingredients Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycolic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Ammonium Hydroxide, Arginine, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, PEG-100 Stearate, Acetyl Hydroxyproline, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Sorbitan Stearate, PEG-40 Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Xanthan Gum, PEG-75 Stearate, Disodium EDTA, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Polysorbate 20, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

Okay, not gonna lie, be super careful if you have really sensitive skin and/or have never used retinols. And remember that a little goes a long way, which by the way makes this not as expensive as it seems. This is the real deal when it comes to chemical exfoliation. This is not your girly luxury cream that you use because you enjoy the delicious fragrance. This one has little fragrance but what fragrance is there, I wouldn't exactly call something you would wear on a date night. Thankfully, you don't smell it a few moments after application. No pain no gain. It has a little bit of a sting, especially if you have just washed your face with a cleanser that's a little too strong. My advice would be to wait 10 minutes after cleansing, and using the cleanser from the same line isn't a bad idea. Patience pays off. The new skin underneath is soft and bright.

Oops, retracting a review here. I made a mistake and reviewed another product whose picture is very similar. Actually, Exuviance was my favorite and I used it for many years (the Daily Defense lotion) with Glycol. The reason I switched to another brand with glycol was that Exuviance products became too pricey, $55.00 for 1.7 oz. Thus, the four stars instead of five.

I’ve used glycolic acid products before, so I know my skin tolerates it pretty well. This is the first time I’ve tried anything by this brand, and I have to say they seem pretty amazing! Looks like they have tons of loyal customers. I’m using their Hydraprep toner and also their AgeLess cream. This glycolic acid moisturizer is perfect to use a few times a week. The first few times I used it, I didn’t notice anything right away. The 3rd and 4th time (I was using it every day), my skin BURNED for a few minutes. Makes sense, if it was working as promised! My skin must have peeled. It’s very gentle though… no dryness, flaking, or visible peeling. Inednt down to every other day and it’s less bothersome when I apply it. I should point out that it doesn’t smell as great as their other products do; it has a familiar “acid” scent that lingers. For this reason, I use it at night only. Over the course of the last week, I’ve noticed less breakouts, smoother skin, a more radiant and even-toned complexion, and less visible pores. I definitely have a new glow! Highly recommend this if you have acne, fine lines, or uneven skin tone. Worth every penny. Hope this helps! ☺️

I have found that I either love or hate the Exuviance products I have tried and this is definitely one of the better ones. This glycolic acid cream is high up in one of the better ones I've tried. It is gentle enough that it doesn't cause my sensitive skin to be irritated yet strong enough to have results within just a couple uses. Smaller pores and smoother looking/feeling skin within just a few uses. Only after the 2nd or 3rd time I used this, I went to wash my face I it's amazing how smooth my face is as I'm massaging the cleanser into my skin. The scent is there but no where near over powering and the cream glides on smooth in a thin layer that feels completely weightless. This cream is a boon to sensitive oily/combination skin and I would highly recommend it. Review For: EXUVIANCE Glycolic Expert Moisturizer, 1.7 fl. oz.
