Glycolic Acid 20% Resurfacing Cream, Hydrating & Lightweight Medical-Grade Exfoliating Face Moisturizer for Skin Discoloration (1.7 oz)

I love this resurfacing cream! I don't have a problem with my skin other than dryness, but I use this resurfacing cream three or four nights a week to keep the skin on my face as smooth as glass and to keep uniformity of tone. This is a gorgeous, luxurious cream. It's definitely a cream and not a gel. I double cleanse my face, use an enzyme peel, then a hydrating toner, a stem cell serum and a vitamin C serum. Then I seal all that in with this resurfacing cream. The cream glides on easily, and though it's easily absorbed, it's also moisturizing. (Since I have such dry skin, I sometimes use a light moisturizer as well after the cream is absorbed.) If you're not used to glycolic creams, you might not be able to use this every night. It might feel a bit irritating. It made my skin feel a little irritated in the beginning, and I don't have sensitive skin at all. That's okay. If you use it only three nights a week, it'll still perform it's magic. Be sure to wash this off in the morning! It wouldn't be healthy for your skin to leave it on all day. And while you're incorporating this into your beauty regimen, be sure to use sunscreen. Glycolic acid makes your skin far more likely to burn. For me, this cream is the magic that gives my skin that glass skin look. In other words, perfect. And it's so luxurious, I feel like I've been to a spa. I don't know anyone this cream couldn't help. Some people have better skin than others for a variety of reasons, but none of us has perfect skin. We can all use a little more help. This is one product I want to have in my beauty arsenal forever.

Update: I just received my second jar and noticed that not only is the jar much larger (same volume of product though) but it has an added ingredient. This product now contains Co-Q10. If you have purchased before I feel like it is good to note the new add-in. Quick Review of THIS product: I love the 20% concentration. I have used 5% and 10% creams and 40% and 70% peels. The 20% glycolic acid cream is perfect for my aging skin now that I'm very used to having acids on my skin all the time. This cream doesn't burn as much as the 10% and that may be due to the added antioxidants (even though that doesn't make sense). I wear this cream almost 24/7 now because it isn't drying like previous creams/peels and it doesn't interfere with my makeup. I forsee using this cream for a long time and my skin is already greatly improved. My skin texture is like porcelain. Love it! My complete journey with glycolic acid creams/peels: Okay, I started using various acids on my face several years ago. First I tried lactic acid and realized I'm allergic. Then I found a glycolic/salicylic combo that turned me into an acid fanatic (okay that sounds bad). I soon moved on to Skin Obsession's 40% glycolic acid peel liquid. I loved it but it made my skin really dry for days and older looking for about a week due to the dryness so I couldn't use it regularly and using it around my eyes where I had fine lines I wanted to knock down before they turned into deep wrinkles, was scary to say the least. Then I discovered Reviva Labs 5% glycolic acid cream at Ulta. It was mild enough to use every day and it really improved my adult acne. My breakouts were less frequent and the zits I did get healed much faster. I soon moved up to the Reviva Labs 10% cream when my skin got used to the 5%. The 10% took my skin to another level of smoothness and the dark marks leftover from a lifetime of acne were starting to fade. I used the 10% cream and the occasional 40% peel regularly for nearly 2 years. My breakouts were nearly a thing of the past and I really only got hormonal acne. I'm pretty sure I haven't had a gargantuan zit or cystic zit since I started using the 10%. I then started mixing my own percentages of ASDM Beverly Hills 70% glycolic acid peel with water to get about 50-60% acid peels. The ASDM is actually far less drying than the 40% even though it is a higher percentage. Not sure why but maybe my skin is just really used to acid peels now. About two months ago I decided my skin was in need of something stronger to really get rid of my deep discolorations, pits and uneven aging skin. I went to Amazon again and searched for something that looked promising. There were a lot of 15% creams but I didn't want to increase a measly 5%. I wanted 20% or higher. And then it happened. I came across Topix Pharm Glycolix Elite Cream with 20% glycolic acid AND antioxidants. I noticed a difference in how my skin felt after my first overnight application. I woke up with smoother, more hydrated skin. My skin seemed to be more clarified and I debated whether I even needed makeup (I did, I still wore it and I still am... cream isn't magic). I have now been using it for almost 2 weeks and I am sooooo happy with my purchase. My skin is very smooth now so when I put on even a little bit of my makeup, I look flawless. When I removed the makeup, my skin has more of a plumped up glow to it. I don't look as sallow as I used to. This cream doesn't burn AT ALL but that may be due to my being use to the acid. It does sting for a few seconds if I apply it right after I do my thrice weekly face scrub (my favorite time to apply). Overall, this product is definitely going to be in my beauty rotation for a while. New update in Nov 2018 after years of using acid treatments: I am still using this 20% cream but now only about 2 times a week. Why? Because my skin is awesome now. I am not at all embarrassed by my skin texture, spots or pore size. I can leave my house and run errands or workout without feeling like I look gross. This cream keeps my fine lines away and helps with dryness so I do still use it but not for the same desperate reasons as before. This cream and all my acid treatments have really saved me from a lifetime of skin issues. I now get to focus on moisture more and I have stopped doing scrubs all together as they are more abrasive than this cream so I let this cream do the exfoliating.

I have been ordering this product for the past year. In a total I think Iv bought about 4 jars, so a little goes along way. At first I didn’t love it, it felt like it didn’t absorb in my skin and just sat on top. Then my skin sort of flaked(at first I used it in the daytime also) . Then I began only using it at night. I began to notice my skin was smooth and glowing. I then noticed the fine lines beside my mouth disappeared! I use this product religiously at night now because the results are noticeable and I love having smooth skin! It doesn’t burn or tingle like it did when I first began using, my skin has grown accustomed to it. But I always knew the slight burning or tingling feeling was a good sign and to keep using. I have added a retinol product to alternate with, my skin would never have tolerated a retinol without my growing accustomed to this product! I will decide if I’ll ditch alternating and just stick with the Glycolix in a month. Anyway, love the 20% Glycolix cream!!

I have been using the 20% product for 3 years in conjunction with 50% glycolic acid peel - it is a MUST for any skincare routine. Consistent daily use has resulted in my 50+ skin looking smooth, radiant and hydrated. I continue to be surprised that it is not recognized by youtube, Instagram or other skincare "experts" considering its price and ingredients. Besides glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation, it contains retinyl palmitate, stabilized Vitamin C for brightness, Vitamin E as an antioxidant to protect cells and DNA and for UV protection, squalane to reduce wrinkles and scars, reverse UV damage, improve skin pigmentation green tea leaf extract, ubiquinone AND ingredient that reduces fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. Rivals Channel, La Mer, Dr. Sturm, etc.

This is a wonderful product!

I used to purchase the Replenix Glycolic Acid 20% Resurfacing Cream regularly and really liked it. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the formula seemed to change, and it just didn't work the same for me anymore. For years, I've used prescription Retin-A as part of my skincare routine. In my opinion, Retin-A is the gold standard for helping keep wrinkles at bay. The glycolic acid product was the perfect companion because it helped exfoliate and remove the dry, flaky skin that can come with using Retin-A. After becoming disappointed with the cream, I decided to switch to the 20% glycolic acid pads. For me, they work much better. They're easy to use, effective, and seem to give me the exfoliation I was looking for without the issues I experienced with the cream. I'm not sure what changed with the cream formula, but I can say that I now prefer the pads and plan to continue purchasing them instead.

Does wonders for textured dried skin. Keeps me glowing. Please note there is a slight tingle for a few seconds as your skin builds up to it. It goes away quickly. I used it at night with other products but overall love it! There’s one with less glycolic also. Keeps my skin glowing!

This product is supposed to be 20% GA. Therefore, it should sting a little bit. But I have been using it and I can't feel a thing. I have gotten a 15% medical grade GA cream in the past, and it would always sting a little when you put it on, especially after a shower or after cleansing. You could feel it working, and it sure did. My skin was soft and clear. It looked like baby skin. Everyone kept complimenting me on how beautiful my skin looked. My cheeks were even rosy. But this cream doesn't seem to do anything. I will continue to use the whole jar, and if anything changes, I will edit this review. I have to say that the cream is a decent moisturizer.

تحت التجربه

I normally use 10-15% Glycolic acid creams once a year. I decided try this cream and amp the percentage of Glycolic Acid to 20%. I used this product for about 2-3 months during the winter. My skin felt softer, but there was no extra exfoliating, No lightening of skin or dark spots. This cream did basically nothing that glycolic acid is supposed to do, or has done in the past for my skin. Going back to my old product that works.

Received old packaging of product. Not the same as displayed.
