Revolution Beauty London Skincare, 5% Glycolic Acid, toner, 200ml (Packaging may vary)

Product Information

I love all of the actives in this eye cream, especially the vitamin C derivative and niacinamide. The eye cream is creamy and non-greasy and has the feel of a luxury eye cream.

Another important factor Dr. Zeichner says to keep in mind is the pH of the product itself. “The lower the pH, the more potent of an effect it will have on the skin in terms of exfoliation,” he says. “At the same time, the lower the pH, the harsher the effect will be on the skin.” Acid toners with a pH of around 2 are generally quite effective, and it’s important to note that they won’t be very effective at a pH above 4. Revolution Beauty is the parent company of Revolution Skincare. Founded in 2013, Revolution Beauty is well known for its makeup products under the Makeup Revolution line. Glycolic acid also helps to fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and the appearance of acne scars and blemishes. I find this hyaluronic acid serum to be a nice boost in my routine when my skin looks and feels dry and dull. I notice my skin is a bit drier after using this concentration of vitamin C, so I make sure to use it in conjunction with hyaluronic acid to keep my skin hydrated.The toner also contains ginseng extract, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and free radical damage from UV rays. I’ve been using multiple products from Revolution Skincare over the past year. In my experience, they are very comparable to The Ordinary and The Inkey List products. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is more stable than pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and less likely to produce undesired effects such as redness, stinging, and peeling. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: Better known as Matrixyl 3000, this peptide duo is supposed to stimulate collagen production and restore skin firmness. It has been shown to improve fine lines and wrinkles in photoaged skin. Revolution Skincare 12.5% Vitamin C Serum is formulated with a high 12% concentration of vitamin C in the form of pure ascorbic acid to improve skin texture and radiance and fight the visible signs of aging.

Perfect for combination and oily skin types, this gel-cream contains niacinamide (vitamin B3), an active that provides multiple benefits for the skin. You won’t get the same results as Botox, but the manufacturer claims that it helps to reduce wrinkles while allowing for facial expressions. Since I have somewhat sensitive skin, glycolic acid products tend to irritate my skin. I’m happy to say that I can tolerate this 5% concentration. From oil regulation and skin barrier restoration to smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and fading hyperpigmentation, niacinamide is a true multi-tasker. Revolution Skincare 2% Hyaluronic Acid Pumping and Hydrating Serum contains 2% of the very popular skin hydrator hyaluronic acid.
