After just a month of using the Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment, my skin has a noticeable radiance and smoothness. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave any residue. The additional hydration also helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines. I had heard the good effect of glycolic acid, but after using this product I can see that it effectively sheds the dull outer layer, revealing brighter, younger-looking skin underneath.
I was searching for a product that could tackle rough texture and dryness. This smoothing treatment has done just that, with the added benefit of intense hydration. My skin feels softer and plumper, and the fine lines around my eyes are less noticeable. It’s a powerhouse product for anyone with dry skin issues.
Since I started using this treatment, I've skipped the primer under my makeup. My skin is so smooth and even-toned that foundation applies flawlessly without it. It’s saved me time in my morning routine and improved my skin’s overall appearance.
As a doctor, what impressed me most about this product is the blend of scientifically-backed ingredients. The combination of glycolic acid for exfoliation, ceramides for moisture retention, and peptides for skin repair has significantly improved my skin's texture and tone. It’s a testament to how well-crafted skincare can produce real results.
I've dealt with acne scars and rough patches for years. This treatment was my last hope, and it delivered. Not only has it smoothed my scars, but it's also prevented new breakouts by keeping the skin exfoliated and clear. The soothing components help calm any inflammation, which is a great relief.
