Key ingredients

  • Glycolic Acid
    Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties. It helps lift away dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to reveal a brighter, smoother-looking complexion. It leaves skin feeling instantly softer and, with continued use, helps improve the look of clarity, radiance and texture.

  • Hinokitiol (Beta-T)
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Vitamin C
    The Riversol vitamin C (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate) is 10x more photostable than traditional vitamin C. This means lasting antioxidant protection to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

  • Vitamin E
    Also known as "the protector", Vitamin E it is a potent antioxidant, well documented to help reduce the look of sun damage in sensitive skin, while hydrating and replenishing the skin's moisture barrier.

  • Shea Butter
    Shea butter is a gentle and effective moisturizer. It contains oleic acid, a saturated fatty acid which is highly compatible with the sebum naturally produced by human skin. This makes Shea Butter readily absorbed and is said to help the absorption of other active ingredients.

FAQ

 

Exfoliating Glycolic Peel + Free Moisturizer Gift FAQ

What is Hinokitiol (Beta-T)?

Hinokitiol (Beta-T) is our signature antioxidant found in the Pacific red cedar. Studied for decades for its natural antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other natural skin-revitalizing properties, hinokitiol helps even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and help correct dark spots.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Riversol products are dermatologist-developed for sensitive skin. Dr. Jason Rivers first created Riversol for patients who struggled to find skincare that delivered results without unnecessary irritation. That same philosophy guides our fragrance-free, paraben-free formulas, made with low-irritant ingredients chosen to support skin comfort.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

All Riversol products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.

How often should I reapply?

Reapply as needed through the day, especially after washing or exposure to cold, dry conditions. For best results, use twice daily.

Are there any precautions I should take when using retinols?

Retinols can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. We strongly recommend that you use an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen, limit your sun exposure and wear protective clothing.

Do not use retinol products on the same evening you apply acid peels like Exfoliating Glycolic Peel. Avoid layering different retinol products to minimize the chance of irritation.

Although there are a few studies suggesting it to be safe, experts still suggest pregnant women avoid applying retinol formulations.

Can I use Exfoliating Glycolic Peel with other acids or retinol products?

To help minimize irritation, do not layer Exfoliating Glycolic Peel with other acid or strong retinol products on the same day. Apply them on separate days instead.

What are the differences between Daily Moisturizing Cream and Moisturizing Concentrate?

Daily Moisturizing Cream is our silky facial moisturizer for normal to dry and combination skin, while Moisturizing Concentrate is a richer formula created for very dry and dehydrated skin. With hyaluronic acid and sea kelp, Moisturizing Concentrate delivers an added layer of nourishment.

Both formulas provide lasting hydration, help repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier, and soften the look of fine lines with our signature hinokitiol (Beta-T) and stabilized vitamins C and E.
