Teoxane's Active Microscrub is an exfoliating skincare product that employs a dual-action method by combining physical scrubbing particles with the enzymatic activity of papain to remove dead surface cells.
A distinguishing feature of Teoxane's Active Microscrub is the inclusion of the brand's proprietary Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA), which is intended to provide hydration and support the skin's barrier during the exfoliation process. This "crosslinked hyaluronic acid" was developed through a patented process.
Teoxane markets its product as suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. According to the brand, the RHA Active Microscrub is clinically tested to deliver +19% of radiance after one application and +27% after consistent use for a month. The research also suggests that "95% of users felt their skin [was] smoother and softer after one application and after one month."
