Exuviance

This was my first try with PHA acids and I've found that they work great for my problems with surface dryness. I use them in the evenings, have found that half a pad does the trick so I've cut them in half and the jar lasts longer. It mildly exfoliates and moisturizes in a way that gives a glowy look instead of a greasy look. It's also helped prevent acne for me so I'm really happy about the result.

I've been using this creme during the fall and winter when my skin generally gets rather dry on the surface and the PHAs have worked well to gently exfoliate to prevent surface dryness and moisturize the skin thoroughly. When it gets warmer I will probably switch to a lighter moisturizer and use the Exuviance Skinrise bionic tonic pads which also contain PHAs but is a bit more efficient than the Restorative creme.

No good as a day product - super hard to rub in, white cast, and I have the pencil effect that others have talked about. I've used all sorts of different products under it, including ones that "go" with the ingredients in this creme. I have liked other Exuviance products in the past, so I'm a little disappointed this didn't work for me. I'll be using this up as a night product as I hate to waste products unnecessarily.

The small size pad is moist enough to cover my entire face. Contains 10% citric acid as the chemical exfoliant. This did not really do anything for my skin especially when compared with a 10% glyolic acid peel pad. The citric acid peel dried and left a tacky film on my skin that felt like I was wearing a peel-off mask. Yuck! I had to remove this from my skin, there was no way I could leave on my skin for the night.

I’m experiencing dehydrated skin. I use this peel once every week or two because of this AS WELL AS the price! I’m being upfront about not using the product as directed but I see zero difference in my skin. Money down the drain I guess. I purchased the $77 for 6 weeks kit. Never again.
