Why are exfoliants necessary?
Healthy, regularly keratinised and smooth skin does not need exfoliation. Its germ layer forms skin cells in a controlled manner, which migrate to the skin's surface and transform into keratinised cells. Young skin renews itself monthly, shedding approximately one billion dead cells every day. From the age of 25, the rate of cell division slows down. In old age, the renewal cycle lasts over 60 days, the horny layer thickens, the complexion becomes dull and cosmetic ingredients penetrate less easily. It is therefore necessary to support the skin and use exfoliants.
How do exfoliants work?
Now is the time for exfoliants: when used in the right amount, tailored to your individual needs and applied regularly, they help to keep your skin healthy and smooth. Exfoliants ensure that your skin sheds old skin cells and remove impurities. They also promote blood circulation, stimulate cell renewal and help your skin to better absorb skincare products.
We present our favourite exfoliants for radiant skin.
For the face
Enzympeelings
Special enzymes can break down the bonds between corneocytes, allowing dead corneocytes to detach from the complex and gradually peel off. The huge advantage of enzymatic peels is that the skin is exfoliated without mechanical stress. Recommended daily to weekly, depending on skin type, even in summer.

Fruit acids
AHAs are used to break down the bonds between keratinocytes. Depending on which acid is used, in what dosage, how often it is applied and at what pH value, the effects range from immediate results such as increased radiance and smoother skin texture to long-term benefits such as improved collagen and elastin production.

REVIDERM TIPS

For the body
Care plus exfoliation
We pamper our face with daily care, but what about our body? Well-moisturised skin immediately looks plumper and more beautiful. With regular care, its metabolism improves overall and dead skin cells are shed more easily. Add to this a gentle exfoliation once or twice a week, and our body skin will look its best.

For the face
Mikrodermabrasion
The gold standard for the mechanical removal of dead skin cells is microdermabrasion at a salon. Ultra-fine microcrystals are blasted onto the skin at high speed, strip by strip, and then sucked away by a vacuum. This removes calluses and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The immediate effect is a beautiful complexion, while the long-term effect is improved cell turnover. The method can be used all year round.

For the body
MesoJet™ Hy-Po RF
During hydroporation with the MesoJet, active ingredient solutions are accelerated to high speed and then quickly, deeply and precisely introduced into the skin. If an exfoliating solution is also used during the treatment, the skin can be gently exfoliated. The MesoJet Hy-Po RF enables high-tech treatment with immediate effects, even on the body.
