Replenix Glycolic Acid 20% Resurfacing Cream — 1.7 oz lightweight, hydrating medical-grade exfoliant for texture & uneven tone

Replenix Glycolic Acid 20% Resurfacing Cream is a medical-grade, hydrating exfoliating moisturizer formulated to visibly refine texture, even skin tone, and reduce the look of pores and fine lines.

This dermatologist-developed cream combines a high 20% glycolic acid concentration with stabilizing antioxidants and a hydrator-rich base to resurface skin while supporting its moisture barrier. The formula is pH-balanced and lightweight, designed to be layered after toner and serum and used once or twice daily. When incorporated into a routine with sunscreen, it aims to deliver smoother, brighter-looking skin over time.

How does this cream improve skin texture and tone?

The 20% crystalline glycolic acid works as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to loosen bonds between dead surface cells, promoting gentle resurfacing and revealing fresher skin beneath. Regular use can reduce the visible roughness and uneven tone that make skin look dull.

• High-strength 20% glycolic acid for effective chemical exfoliation.
• Crystalline form supports controlled, even resurfacing.
• pH-balanced formula helps optimize exfoliant activity safely.
• Use after serum and before sunscreen for daytime routines.

Will it hydrate without feeling heavy or greasy?

Yes — the cream is formulated to be lightweight and hydrating, absorbing quickly without a heavy residue. It includes a triple-antioxidant system and moisturizing agents that support the skin’s barrier while the glycolic acid performs exfoliation.

• Light lotion texture designed for daily wear under makeup.
• Triple-antioxidant protection helps preserve moisture balance.
• Suitable for layering with other serums and sun protection.

Does it target signs of aging like fine lines and discoloration?

The combination of exfoliation and CoQ10 antioxidant support is intended to minimize the appearance of fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and enlarged pores over time. Regular application can help create a smoother, more even-looking complexion when paired with sun protection.

• Glycolic acid helps soften the look of fine lines by smoothing surface texture.
• Stabilized CoQ10 provides antioxidant support against environmental aggressors.
• Visible results typically appear with consistent use and sun care.

How should I add this to my skincare routine safely?

Apply after cleansing, toning, and any serums, to your face, neck, and chest once or twice daily. If used in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect newly revealed skin from UV exposure.

• Allow toner and serums to absorb before applying the cream.
• Start with once-daily application and increase as tolerated.
• Use sunscreen daily; avoid concurrent use with other strong actives without guidance.

Who is this for: Replenix Glycolic Acid 20% Resurfacing Cream is best suited for individuals seeking a potent, dermatologist-developed exfoliating moisturizer to tackle texture irregularities, uneven tone, visible pores, and early signs of aging. It is designed for those comfortable incorporating a higher-strength AHA into their routine and who will pair it with consistent sun protection. Those with very sensitive or reactive skin should introduce it gradually or consult a skincare professional before use.
