Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • 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.

Exfoliating Glycolic Peel (30mL) FAQ

What is Hinokitiol (Beta-T)?

Hinokitiol (Beta-T) is our signature antioxidant found in the Pacific red cedar. Studied for decades, it has been proven to have natural antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other natural skin-revitalizing properties. It 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.

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.

Are there any precautions I should take when using Exfoliating Glycolic Peel?

Glycolic acid 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 Exfoliating Glycolic Peel.

How often should I use Exfoliating Glycolic Peel?

Use Exfoliating Glycolic Peel twice a week in the evenings. If you're new to acid treatments, start with once a week and work your way up to twice a week.

Do not use retinols on the same evening you apply Exfoliating Glycolic Peels.
