- Triple Hydroxy Acid Age-Defying Treatment. A rich but gentle resurfacing treatment that exfoliates while hydrating the skin. Great for sensitive skin types. Provides gentle exfoliation for a smoother, softer appearance. A combination of science and botanical ingredients help firm skin and smooth lines and wrinkles. Conditioning moisturizers help attract and retain vital moisture in the skin. Helps to even skin tone by reducing the look of acne scars, dark spots and hyper-pigmentation. Free radical-fighting antioxidants defend skin from environmental stress that can cause inflammation and damage to collagen and elastin. Acne is caused when oil, hair and dead skin cells clog pores. Ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and AGP Complex help stimulate cell turnover to curb breakouts. Improved texture and proper product absorption is due to exfoliation. When the surface layer of the skin is removed, fresh skin is revealed and can absorb active ingredients easier. For those with severe gluten sensitivities or Dermatitis Herpetiformis, rest assured this product is gluten free. Night use: Apply a small amount to freshly cleansed and toned skin 2-4 times weekly as part of your nightly regimen. Use as tolerated. Follow with a moisturizer if further hydration is needed. Day use: We do not recommend this product for use in the AM as it may cause skin sensitivity to sun exposure. Apply Defy daily as an exfoliating night cream to prep the skin for our retinol serums like Serum 16 or Define.
