NeoStrata Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream – Targeted AHA Exfoliation & Resurfacing
As skin ages, cellular turnover slows, leading to a buildup of dead surface cells that make skin look dull, rough, and prematurely aged. NeoStrata Resurface Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream utilises an advanced 10% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) concentration to break the bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, revealing fresh, luminous skin beneath.
Formulated with NeoStrata’s smart delivery technology, this rich cream delivers maximum resurfacing power while minimising the risk of redness or irritation, making it an ideal step up for skin already accustomed to AHA treatments.
Multi-Path Synergistic Active Complex
- 10% Glycolic & Citric Acid Blend
Glycolic Acid (AHA) has a small-molecule size that penetrates deeply to dissolve cell debris and stimulate cell renewal, while Citric Acid delivers potent antioxidant protection and brightness. - Amphoteric Delivery System
An innovative delivery complex that moderates the release of AHA actives, reducing stinging and improving skin tolerability without compromising exfoliation efficacy. - Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)
Provides essential lipid-soluble antioxidant defence, nourishing the skin barrier and shielding delicate cells from oxidative stress. - Emollient Hydrating Base
Replenishes surface lipids to soothe dryness and maintain optimal moisture balance while active AHAs work to resurface the skin architecture.
Key Clinical & Visible Benefits
- Texture Refinement: Smooths rough, bumpy, or uneven skin for a softer surface texture.
- Radiance Restoration: Removes dulling surface buildup to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.
- Fine Line Reduction: Helps diminish the look of fine lines and early signs of photo-ageing.
- Optimised Absorption: Prepares the skin barrier to absorb subsequent active treatment serums more effectively.
How to Apply NeoStrata Resurface Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream
- Cleanse: Apply once daily, ideally in the evening, after thoroughly cleansing and drying the face.
- Dispense: Dispense a pea-sized amount onto fingertips.
- Smooth: Gently smooth over the face and neck until fully absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes and lips.
- Acclimate & Protect: For sensitive skin, start 2–3 times per week and build frequency as tolerated. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily during use.
“Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream is a fantastic night cream for clients wanting to tackle rough texture or dullness. Because 10% Glycolic Acid is high-potency, introduce it gradually and ensure you never skip daily sun protection, as AHAs increase sun sensitivity.”

Frequently Asked Questions about NeoStrata Resurface Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream
Formulation & Active Ingredients
What makes Glycolic Acid effective for resurfacing?
Glycolic Acid has the smallest molecular structure of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate efficiently to loosen dead skin cells, smooth surface roughness, and stimulate cell renewal.
Is 10% Glycolic Acid suitable for first-time AHA users?
If you have sensitive skin or have never used AHAs, start using it 2 evenings per week. Gradually increase application frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
Application & Routine Integration
Can I use this cream during the day?
It is best applied at night. Because AHAs increase sun sensitivity, always apply a high broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning during use and for a week after stopping.
Can I layer this with high-potency retinoids?
We advise against using strong AHAs and strong retinoids in the same evening to prevent barrier irritation. Alternate nights (e.g., Retinol one night, Glycolic Cream the next) for optimal skin tolerance.
Skin Suitability & Precautions
Is a slight tingling sensation normal when applying?
Yes, a mild, temporary tingling feeling is normal during initial applications of 10% Glycolic Acid as the active exfoliating process begins. If stinging persists, reduce frequency.
