Sale price$70.00 USD

A once-a-week polish that works two ways at once: volcanic mineral to buff, and a low level of glycolic acid to loosen what the buffing leaves behind. Alastin's own phrase is dual-action exfoliation.

What is Alastin ReSURFACE Skin Polish?

ReSURFACE is Alastin's exfoliator. In their words it "uncovers instantly smoother, visibly glowing skin with dual-action exfoliation powered by volcanic minerals and glycolic acid to sweep away dead skin cells." A nickel-sized amount on wet skin, massaged for about 30 seconds, once a week.

Why the glycolic acid is at a low level

Alastin is direct about this: "to prevent sensitivity, glycolic acid is included at a low level in combination with arginine. This provides a gentle boost in exfoliation and helps clear out pores without irritation."

Perlite is the physical half, a naturally derived volcanic mineral Alastin includes for gentle exfoliating benefits. Glycolic acid is the chemical half. Alastin says it provides exfoliation and moisturization to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances skin texture. Phytoene and phytofluene are antioxidants carried alongside them.

Alastin ReSURFACE reviews

  • A pea to a nickel is the whole dose. "You use so little it lasts." "All you need is a pea size." At a weekly cadence the tube goes a long way.
  • It feels more robust than it looks. One buyer puts it well: pretty rough on the skin, be gentle, and it still does not irritate her sensitive skin. The grains are described as small and not abrasive.
  • Keep your eyes shut. One reviewer's practical tip, so the fine particles stay out of them.
  • It suits people other scrubs have not. One buyer had never tolerated an exfoliator without drying out and does here. Another switched from apricot pit scrubs and a different brand's dry exfoliator.
  • Some buyers use it more often than the label says. Several report two or three times a week. Alastin directs once a week, and with a glycolic acid in the formula that is the number worth following.

Where it fits in the week

Once a week, in place of your usual cleanse. Keep it off the same night as Alastin Renewal Retinol, since acid and retinol together is how most people overdo it. Follow with Ultra Light Moisturizer, and be consistent with face sunscreen the next day. The rest of the line is in Alastin.

The hat is too big Is there a smaller one I have an average size women’s head

The shoes just felt very flimsy and I needed more support. My toes felt like they would pop through the holes when walking.

My bag arrived in reasonable time - under 2 weeks from UK to USA - as expected. The bag is beautifully understated with soft leather, a lovely smooth strap that will not snag delicate knits but wide enough to feel comfortable on the shoulder even when carrying a heavy tablet and a smooth running zipper. It is carefully finished - no loose threads or crooked stitching and was exceedingly well packaged so there are no creases or scratches. The price was exceptionally good, especially as it included shipping and tax. I will recommend and consider buying from this site in the future.

07/13/26 Seashell Handbag Hello, The bag itself is nice. However the ball of straw at the top makes it difficult to wrap the loop around it. The clasp needs to have a smooth surface or use a smooth metal clasp or a large faux pearl (like on other identical bags) or with a strong magnet or a clasp used on many top closure bags. I tried to push down the straw ball so it's easier to close. Tell your supplier about this issue.

The bag smells so horrible of toxic moth balls, I couldn’t even bring it in my house. My whole head hurt as soon as I opened it, and I had to wash my hands after touching it. It has been sitting outside for 24 hours and the smell is just as strong. I need a new one that doesn’t smell Iike this.

Jelavu - Sidney Black Medium Satchel Bag

These are well-made and very comfortable - was delighted when they arrived! The foot shape is very elegant (not too wide) which I think is not represented optimally in photo. More colors please!

Jelavu - Glimmr Dark Brown Sandal

Love this new bag. It has tons of room and a cute smaller bag inside. I love that it’s in neutral colors and compliments everything!

Ecotorie - Springhill - Tote Bag

These shoes were improperly size ranged. I am between a snug 6-1/2 and 7-ish depending on the shoe. I was too intimidated to order the smaller size seeing the 6– to 6-1/2 which 6 I am definitely not. So these 38’s are so huge I’ve inserted TWO inserts, and TWO Heel gels for each shoe and they are still hopelessly unwearable. I’m absolutely distraught. If you send me the smaller size I’m going to try to return these if you tell me how. Please send me the smaller pair.
