Professional Skin Care & Beauty Since 1999
Exuviance represents the intersection of cosmetic elegance and clinical skin science. Created by the dermatologists who invented Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) for skincare, Exuviance products are built on decades of peer-reviewed research into how acid-based technologies can transform the skin. Their foundations and color products go beyond simple coverage — they are formulated with patented anti-aging ingredients that actively improve the skin's texture, tone, and resilience with every wear.
At the core of Exuviance technology is their proprietary use of Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) and Bionic complexes. While traditional AHAs are highly effective exfoliants, they can sometimes cause irritation in sensitive skin. Exuviance's next-generation PHA technology delivers comparable anti-aging and exfoliating benefits with significantly greater gentleness, making the brand suitable for all skin types — including sensitive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin that cannot tolerate traditional acids.
Exuviance foundations are designed for women who want their makeup to do more than just sit on the surface. Formulated with the brand's signature Bionic complexes, these foundations provide natural-looking coverage while simultaneously delivering anti-aging actives that improve skin texture, boost hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier over time. Many formulations also include broad-spectrum SPF protection, making them an efficient multitasking step in any skincare routine.
What makes Exuviance particularly valuable is their evidence-based approach to skin improvement. The brand's founders, Drs. Van Scott and Yu, are credited with pioneering the use of glycolic acid in dermatology — a breakthrough that revolutionized skin resurfacing and anti-aging treatment. Exuviance represents the next evolution of their research: products that deliver visible, clinically measurable improvements in skin quality without the irritation, dryness, or sensitivity that can accompany aggressive acid treatments.
