What this product is

Retexturing Activator is a serum that combines exfoliating and hydrating effects, designed to support surface renewal and a smoother feel without the dryness that some exfoliants can cause. It is often chosen for skin that wants a gentler but still active retexturing step.

What it is designed to address

It is intended for skin addressing uneven texture and dehydration together — for example, skin that feels rough and dry at once. Your clinician can confirm whether it fits your skin type and routine.
