Reviews of Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque

Like most dermatologists, I love to incorporate alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) into any skin care regimen. AHAs are essential for exfoliating and stimulating the renewal of fresh, new skin cells. As we mature, our cells don’t turn over like they used to—the old cells stack up! This buildup accentuates fine lines, pores and brown spots. AHAs help to keep your skin looking polished and bright and, as an added bonus, allow your other products to work better through improved penetration. You will also notice that you need less makeup when you use products containing AHAs. Glycolic acid has long been the cornerstone of most alpha hydroxy products, but many newer formulations, like the Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque, are utilizing mandelic acid. Mandelic acid is derived from almonds, is the smallest alpha hydroxyl acid, and may be more gentle than its counterparts. This product also contains gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, which acts an exfoliant, antioxidant, and collagen stimulator.

Masques are a great way not only to allow some relaxing alone time, but to allow the infusion of concentrated ingredients into the skin. I would start by incorporating this masque into your regimen once a week and increase as tolerated. Manufactured by NeoStrata, Exuviance products have a great reputation in dermatology circles for their excellent formulations.
