Alastin ReSURFACE Skin Polish
ReSURFACE Skin Polish
A dual action exfoliating polish that smooths texture without stripping skin.
This treatment combines naturally derived perlite, a volcanic mineral, for gentle physical exfoliation with glycolic acid for chemical exfoliation, working together to sweep away dead skin cells, buildup, and impurities. Phytoene and phytofluene bring antioxidant protection, while lactoferrin and squalane help keep the formula hydrating rather than drying. Suitable for most skin types, including aging, dry, oily, and combination skin, and formulated without fragrance.
Why it works: Physical and chemical exfoliants each have a limitation on their own. Scrubs clear surface buildup but don't reach deeper congestion, while acids resurface without addressing what's sitting on top. Combining perlite with glycolic acid means the polish clears both layers in a single step, which is why skin feels smoother and looks visibly brighter within minutes of use. In clinical testing, 94% of participants agreed their skin felt smoother after use, with continued improvement in texture and dullness over two weeks.
How to use it:
- Apply a nickel sized amount to cleansed, wet skin.
- Massage gently in circular motions for about 30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Use two to three times a week, followed by your regular serum or moisturizer.
The worth//vitality promise
We chose this polish because pairing physical and chemical exfoliation in one formula does real work without the irritation that usually comes with either alone. Ninety four percent of users reporting smoother skin after a single use, with results building over two weeks, is the kind of data that earns a weekly treatment its place in the lineup.
