“By binding in moisture, it gently plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines.RéVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Nightly Retexturizer uses glycolic acid to smooth and retexture the skin, rendering it soft as silk on the surface and yet firm to the touch.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.
Anti-aging5 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“By binding in moisture, it gently plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines.RéVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream Nightly Retexturizer uses glycolic acid to smooth and retexture the skin, rendering it soft as silk on the surface and yet firm to the touch.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: oligopeptide-24.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

“Moisturizing Renewal Cream Nightly Retexturizer”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-24
Evens skin tone1 ingredient credited for this claimStrong support
“It soothes and nourishes the skin to leave it luminous and vibrant.Simultaneously exfoliating and hydrating the skin, the sophisticated cream also works to reduce blemishes and imperfections, while evening out skin tone.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemish2 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“It soothes and nourishes the skin to leave it luminous and vibrant.Simultaneously exfoliating and hydrating the skin, the sophisticated cream also works to reduce blemishes and imperfections, while evening out skin tone.”
This product contains ingredients (glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Product summary
"RéVive - Moisturizing Renewal Cream Nightly Retexturizer" is effective for: Exfoliation, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-aging, Moisturizing and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (glycolic acid 3.20% - 3.90%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants).
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (oligopeptide-24 0.45% - 0.65%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
