ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish is a dual-action exfoliating polish that combines volcanic mineral particles with glycolic acid to sweep away dead skin cells and reveal noticeably smoother, brighter skin in a single use. Unlike harsh scrubs that can strip or irritate, this formula is built on a hydrating base of squalane and glycerin so skin feels soft and comfortable rather than tight after rinsing.
Key Benefits:
Instantly Smoother Texture: Fine volcanic perlite particles physically buff away surface buildup while glycolic acid dissolves the bonds between dead cells, delivering a thorough yet gentle polish that leaves skin feeling refined.
Brighter, More Even Tone: In a clinical study of 17 subjects, 100% showed improvement in skin dullness after just one week of use, thanks to the synergy of physical and chemical exfoliation clearing dull, uneven surface layers.
Comfortable Enough for Weekly Use: Glycolic acid is paired with arginine to buffer potential irritation, and 94% of study participants reported no dryness, redness, or irritation after two weeks of regular use.
Nourishing, Non-Stripping Formula: Squalane, glycerin, and xylitol keep skin hydrated throughout the exfoliation process, so you get a deep polish without compromising your moisture barrier.
Antioxidant and Skin-Conditioning Support: Lactoferrin and dunaliella salina extract deliver antioxidant protection, while tocopherol (vitamin E) helps condition freshly exfoliated skin against environmental stress.

If your skin looks dull, feels rough, or your serums and moisturizers seem to sit on the surface instead of absorbing, a buildup of dead skin cells is likely the issue. ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish is designed for aging, dry, oily, and combination skin types that need a thorough yet gentle weekly exfoliation.
This polish is also an excellent choice if you find traditional scrubs too abrasive or chemical peels too intense, since it blends both approaches at carefully calibrated levels. It works especially well as a makeup prep step, giving you a smoother canvas.
If you have inflamed acne, rosacea-prone redness, or known sensitivity to glycolic acid, this product may not be the best fit. Reach out for a free skincare consultation and one of our estheticians can help you find the right exfoliant for your skin.
-
Apply ReSURFACE Skin Polish the evening before a special event rather than the morning of. Freshly exfoliated skin absorbs your nighttime serums more effectively overnight, and by morning your complexion will look its smoothest and most luminous without any residual sensitivity from the glycolic acid.
-
Prepare: Start with freshly cleansed skin. Keep skin damp, as applying to wet skin helps the volcanic minerals glide without tugging.
Apply: Squeeze a nickel-sized amount onto fingertips and distribute evenly across the face, avoiding the eye area.
Technique: Using light, circular motions, gently massage for about 30 seconds. Let the perlite particles and glycolic acid do the work; there is no need to press hard.
Frequency: Use once a week, morning or evening. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with your serum and moisturizer.

Key Ingredients
- Perlite: A naturally derived volcanic mineral that gently exfoliates dead skin cells while absorbing excess oil to reduce shine without stripping the skin.
- Sucrose Laurate: Sugar ester that gently cleanses and emulsifies while conditioning skin to feel soft, smooth, and hydrated.
- Glycolic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates, smooths wrinkles, and reduces the appearance of dark spots.
- Squalane: Keeps skin hydrated and balances oil production by mimicking the skin’s acid mantle while also reducing inflammation, soothing skin irritation, and improving elasticity.
- Arginine: An essential amino acid that supports collagen production and skin repair. Arginine helps improve firmness and elasticity while boosting hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.

How does ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish exfoliate differently than a regular scrub?
It uses two types of exfoliation at once. Fine volcanic perlite particles physically lift dead cells from the surface while glycolic acid chemically loosens the bonds between them. This dual approach delivers a more thorough polish without requiring aggressive scrubbing that can damage skin.
Will ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish cause irritation or dryness?
The formula is designed to minimize irritation. Glycolic acid is included at a low concentration and buffered with arginine to reduce sensitivity. In a clinical study, 94% of participants reported no dryness, redness, or irritation after two weeks of use. The hydrating base of squalane, glycerin, and xylitol also helps prevent the tight, stripped feeling some exfoliants cause.
How often should I use ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish?
Once a week is the recommended frequency for most skin types. Because it combines both physical and chemical exfoliation, weekly use provides consistent cell turnover without over-exfoliating. If your skin is on the oilier or more resilient side and tolerates it well, your esthetician may recommend adjusting frequency.
Can I use ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish with retinol in the same routine?
Yes, but spacing is important. If you use retinol at night, apply the polish on a night when you skip your retinol to avoid compounding exfoliation. Alternatively, use the polish in the morning and your retinol in the evening. If you are unsure about layering actives, book a free skincare consultation for personalized guidance.
Is ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish suitable for sensitive skin?
This polish is well-tolerated by most skin types, including aging, dry, oily, and combination skin. However, if you have active rosacea, inflamed breakouts, or a known sensitivity to glycolic acid, it may not be ideal for you. A patch test on a small area of the jawline can help you gauge tolerance before full-face use.
Can ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish be used as a makeup prep?
Absolutely. Using it before makeup creates a noticeably smoother surface, which helps foundation and concealer apply more evenly and last longer. Apply to damp skin, massage gently for 30 seconds, rinse, and then continue with your serum, moisturizer, and primer as usual.
What results can I expect from ALASTIN ReSURFACE Skin Polish and how quickly?
You should notice smoother, softer skin immediately after the first use. In a clinical study, 100% of participants showed improvement in dullness after one week, and 94% agreed their overall skin appearance improved after two weeks of weekly use.
