5% AHA Resurfacing Solution

X-STexture Refinement

250 ML / 8.45 FL OZ

$45.00

This exfoliating solution utilizes 5% glycolic acid to promote controlled desquamation and accelerate the removal of accumulated corneocytes. By modulating epidermal turnover, the formula supports smoother skin texture, improved radiance, and a more uniform surface appearance.

Humectants including glycerin, betaine, and sodium PCA help mitigate transepidermal water loss associated with exfoliation, maintaining hydration balance. Antioxidant-rich berry extracts provide additional conditioning support.

Designed for structured evening use to complement active treatment systems.

PRODUCT DATA

Glycolic acid, a low-molecular-weight alpha hydroxy acid, penetrates the stratum corneum and weakens corneodesmosomal bonds between keratinocytes. This controlled exfoliation process accelerates desquamation, promoting smoother surface texture and improved optical brightness.

The formula is buffered with potassium hydroxide to maintain skin-compatible pH levels that optimize exfoliation efficiency while minimizing irritation potential. Humectants including glycerin, sodium PCA, and betaine support hydration equilibrium during renewal. Cranberry and lingonberry extracts contribute antioxidant polyphenols that support surface conditioning during repeated use.

The result is progressive refinement of skin texture and improved visual clarity.


• Accelerates controlled epidermal desquamation to improve surface smoothness

• Reduces visible texture irregularities and accumulated build-up

• Supports a more uniform skin tone through progressive renewal

• Enhances radiance by improving light reflection from the skin surface

• Prepares the skin for improved penetration of subsequent active formulations

• Contributes to long-term clarity when integrated into structured exfoliation cycles

Glycolic Acid (5%)

An alpha hydroxy acid that promotes controlled epidermal turnover by disrupting intercellular cohesion in the stratum corneum, improving texture and tone.

Potassium Hydroxide

pH-adjusting agent ensuring optimal exfoliation activity and formula stability.

Humectant Network (Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Betaine)

Supports hydration retention and reduces excessive dryness during exfoliation cycles.

Vaccinium Fruit Extracts

Botanical antioxidant sources contributing polyphenols that support surface conditioning.

Actives are delivered in a leave-on aqueous system optimized for consistent distribution and renewal activity.

ingredient highlights

Vaccinium Fruit Extracts

Vaccinium Fruit Extracts

Polyphenol-rich botanical extracts that provide antioxidant conditioning support during active exfoliation phases. Contribute to improved surface resilience and help maintain comfort during repeated use.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA

A naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor that enhances water-binding capacity within the stratum corneum. Included to support hydration equilibrium during exfoliation cycles and to mitigate excessive transepidermal water loss associated with chemical resurfacing.

Glycolic Acid

A low molecular weight alpha hydroxy acid selected for its ability to penetrate the stratum corneum and promote controlled keratinocyte turnover. By weakening corneodesmosomal cohesion, it accelerates desquamation, reduces surface irregularities, and supports a more even optical skin tone. Its concentration is calibrated to provide effective renewal while remaining compatible with structured home use protocols.
