Meet Active Microscrub: Teoxane’s First Exfoliating Scrub

There is a new product on the block, Active Microscrub, the first exfoliating scrub from Teoxane. Designed to enhance your skin’s radiance by hydrating, strengthening the skin barrier, and gently removing dead skin cells.

Inspired by Teoxane’s ground-breaking dermal filler technology, Active Microscrub features the brand’s signature RHA resilient hyaluronic acid®, which is a cross linked form of hyaluronic acid, created through a patented process to deliver optimal hydration.

Active Microscrub (50ml, £42) is available at www.teoxane.co.uk.

  • A luxurious gel-to-milk texture
  • Exfoliating grains derived from volcanic glass, infused with mineral-rich ingredients
  • Papain enzyme, a natural polypeptide that promotes gentle exfoliation and speeds up cell turnover
  • Suitable even for sensitive skin — leaving it smooth, toned, and refreshed

Apply 2 to 3 times a week to clean, dry skin (avoiding the eye area). Leave on for 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.

Do you have filtered skincare? Anti-Pollution Skincare

I live in London and I worry about the effect pollution can have on my skin. Some filters and creams I have used can be too harsh. I also worry about indoor pollution. But what to do?

Pollution can significantly affect the skin, leading to both short-term and long-term damage. Pollution can derive from vehicle emissions, urban pollution (cities), factory emissions (when we order new items for the home), cigarette smoke, household chemicals and UV radiation.

Exposure to pollutants like particulate matter (PM) and UV radiation can accelerate skin aging due to increased oxidative stress, which damages collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. 

Pollution can trigger inflammation, leading to conditions like eczema, acne, or rosacea. Pollutants can also irritate sensitive skin, leading to redness and itching. Pollutants such as car exhaust or industrial smoke can increase the production of melanin in the skin, resulting in dark spots or uneven skin tone. The accumulation of dirt and pollutants on the skin’s surface can clog pores and hinder cell turnover, making the skin appear dull, tired, or lackluster. Pollutants like dirt, dust, and chemicals can clog pores and trigger the production of excess sebum (oil), leading to acne and breakouts. Pollution can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to dehydration, dry patches, and overall lack of skin vitality.

Keep Your Skin in Top Condition This Ski Season

It’s ski season and our skin will bear the brunt of the cold weather. Skiing exposes our skin to harsh conditions like cold winds, low humidity, and intense sun, which can strip it of moisture and damage its protective barrier. We’ve rounded up the best products from Teoxane, the creators of RHA resilient hyaluronic acid.
To maintain healthy, resilient ski skin, hydration is crucial, and hyaluronic acid plays a vital role as it helps to retain moisture in the skin, keeping it plump, smooth, and protected against the drying effects of the elements. 

Teoxane (Teosyal) RHA Serum, £85 Teoxane (Teosyal) RHA Serum contains a potent blend of resilient hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and amino acids, which help to perfect the tone and texture of dull, tired skin within 14 days.

Teoxane 3D Lip, £35 This rich, hydrating and reparative daily lip care treatment features densifying and nutritive ingredients that work together to smooth, nourish, and achieve a plumping effect for the lips.
