Get softer, smoother skin from head to toe with our AHA exfoliant duo for face and body
AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) gently remove the accumulated layer of dead skin cells on the skin's surface to reveal the healthy, radiant skin underneath. AHAs have benefits for all skin types—reducing lines and wrinkles, improving skin’s firmness, texture, and tone. Their hydrating properties and ability to improve visible signs of sun damage make them perfect for normal to dry skin with advanced signs of ageing.
The Resist Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA is unique blend of four AHA’s (glycolic, lactic, malic, and tartaric acid) and 0.5% BHA (salicylic acid) to powerfully, yet gently remove dead skin cells to dramatically improve the signs of dry, dull skin and uneven skin tone. The silky-light lotion provides immediate as well as long-lasting hydration, leaving skin feel soft and smooth.
The Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA is a creamy, lightweight leave-on exfoliant containing 10% AHA which gently but effectively sheds built-up dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin.

Apply the Resist Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA daily or weekly after cleansing and toning. Dispense 2-3 drops and apply to the face and neck, avoiding the lower lash line and eyelids.

Massage the Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA onto clean skin in gentle circular motions. May be used daily or applied only to dry areas as often as needed.
