Exuviance Glycolic Face Polish 75g

Exuviance Glycolic Face Polish 75g (now sold under the brand name Triple Microdermabrasion Face Polish) is a triple-action exfoliating treatment that combines physical micro-crystal exfoliation with glycolic acid and papain enzyme. The result is a near-clinical-strength resurfacing experience at home — designed to dissolve surface congestion, lift dead skin cells, brighten the complexion and smooth uneven texture in a single 1–2 minute treatment.

About Exuviance

Exuviance is the consumer-facing skincare line from NeoStrata, the American dermatology brand founded in 1988 by Drs. Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu — the chemists credited with pioneering the use of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in cosmetic skincare. Exuviance translates that clinical heritage into approachable, professional-grade home-care formulas, with the Glycolic Polish as one of its most established resurfacing treatments.

Key ingredients

• Glycolic Acid — alpha-hydroxy acid that loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough away for smoother, brighter skin.
• Pure Professional-Grade Aluminium Oxide Crystals — physical micro-exfoliators that polish the skin's surface; the same family of crystal used in salon microdermabrasion.
• Papain (Papaya Enzyme) — natural fruit enzyme that dissolves keratin proteins on the skin's surface for a softer, clearer finish.
• Lactobionic Acid — a polyhydroxy acid that helps support hydration alongside the AHA exfoliation.
• Glycerin — humectant that softens and helps offset the drying effect of exfoliation.

Key benefits

• Instantly smoother, silkier-feeling skin after one use
• Brightens dull, tired-looking complexions
• Helps minimise the appearance of pores and surface imperfections
• Removes dead skin cells and surface congestion
• Leaves skin radiant, luminous and primed to absorb the products that follow
• Can be used 2–3 times a week as part of a regular routine

Who it's for

Best suited to normal, combination and oily skin types looking for at-home resurfacing — particularly those dealing with dullness, congestion, uneven texture or the early signs of ageing. Sensitive skin types should patch test first and limit application time to 1 minute. Always pair with a daily SPF, as AHAs increase the skin's sensitivity to UV light during use and for around a week afterwards.

How to use

1. Cleanse the face thoroughly and leave the skin damp.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of the polish across the face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Massage in light circular motions for 30 seconds — do not scrub.
4. Leave on for up to 2 minutes (1 minute for sensitive skin).
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
6. Follow with serum and moisturiser, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
7. Use 2–3 times a week.
