Q&A OF INGREDIENTS
What is a Serum?
A serum is a skincare product that contains a high concentration of an active ingredient usually in a lightweight formula to target specific skin concerns. It is recommended to be used after cleansing and before your face moisturizer. Our 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum has a feather-like texture and absorbs quickly to visibly plump skin.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a potent hydration-attracting molecule naturally found in skin that enhances skin's own moisture-retention for lasting hydration. Revitalift 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum scientifically blends 0.5% high molecular weight of HA and 1% low molecular weight of HA for optimal performance. High molecular weight remains on the outer layer of the epidermis to provide immediate plumping of the skin. The low molecular weight provides long-term hydration and diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do?
Hyaluronic Acid replenishes moisture and plumps the skin. At the optimal molecular weight and concentration level our 1.5% pure Hyaluronic Acid serum can visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles for smooth youthful-looking skin.
What types of products contain Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid can be found in many skin care products ranging from face moisturizers, creams, lotions, and facial serums.
What is Vitamin C?
Scientifically known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals in the skin. Free radicals are environmental stressors that can accelerate the signs of aging. Vitamin C can remove oxidants from environmental pollutants and after exposure to UV. In skincare, Vitamin C is a highly unstable ingredient due to its sensitivity to oxygen, water and light.
What does Vitamin C do?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect from damage caused by free radicals. Using skincare products with Vitamin C can help protect the skin from signs of aging in combination with broad-spectrum SPF. Most skincare products formulated with Vitamin C target radiance, brightening and even skin tone benefits. When using Vitamin C products, make sure to follow with SPF products to protect skin from sun exposure.
What types of products contain Vitamin C?
Vitamin C can be found in many skincare products ranging from face moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliators, lotions, and facial serums. However, Vitamin C is a highly unstable ingredient due to its sensitivity to oxygen, water and light, so not all Vitamin C products have equal potency.
What concentration of Vitamin C is recommended in skincare products?
Concentration levels depend on the format of topical application. For serums, 10%-20% concentration of Vitamin C is optimal for skin.
When should I start using Vitamin C skincare products?
You should introduce a Vitamin C skincare product when skin looks dull and is in need of a boost of radiance. Vitamin C skincare products can be layered under SPF as early as you start a skincare routine.
What is Glycolic Acid?
Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) which is a class of water-soluble acids highly recommended by dermatologists due to its resurfacing and chemical exfoliation benefits.
Where can I find Glycolic Acid used?
Glycolic Acid treatments with high concentration of glycolic acid are a common procedure at Dermatologist offices. Glycolic Acid products with safe concentration levels for at-home use are available in many skincare products.
What concentration of Glycolic Acid is recommended in skincare products?
Ideal concentrations of glycolic acid depend on the format of topical application as well as the benefits you are looking to achieve. For serums, the highest concentration of pure glycolic acid that dermatologist’s recognize as safe for at-home use is 10%. You can find this in the Revitalift Derm Intensives product line.
What skincare products have Glycolic Acid?
High-concentration glycolic acid treatments are a common procedure at Dermatologists offices. Glycolic Acid skincare products formulated with 10% glycolic acid are an easy alternative for at-home application. Many glycolic acid skincare products can be found in your local department stores or drugstores.
Derm Seal of Validation

REVITALIFT DERM INTENSIVES FORMULA CHARTER: Derm Intensives formulas have been formulated with high concentrations of key ingredients, to be safe for sensitive skin and endorsed by dermatologists.

Revitalift Advantage: Clean Formula
Revitalift Derm Intensives formulas have been developed to be safe for sensitive skin and validated by dermatologists
Fragrance Free
The first step in any skin care routine is to cleanse your skin of dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities. Start your fragrance-free routine off right with one of our best fragrance-free facial cleansers. Whether you have sensitive skin or simply aren’t a fan of scented skin care products, opting for a fragrance free face lotion, facial cleanser, and serum is a good idea.
Paraben Free
Paraben free skin care products have become one of the biggest beauty trends. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, parabens are preservatives that are typically used in cosmetics to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. However, more and more, people are opting for formulas that are free of these preservatives when it comes to the products they choose to incorporate into their skin care routines.
Mineral Oil-free
People will react differently to different ingredients. If you’ve noticed your skin reacts poorly to moisturizers with mineral oil in the formula—or you’re simply looking for a change—you may want to try a mineral oil-free moisturizer. More and more people are swapping their go-to skin care products for cleaner alternatives. If you’re looking to clean up your own routine, perhaps you’re interested in scoping out mineral oil-free skin care essentials you can add to your regimen.
Colorant Dye Free
The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and free of mineral oils and synthetic dyes, making it suitable for sensitive skin. People will react differently to various ingredients.
Allergy Tested
Instead of having dermatologists recommend the Derm Intensives line, L’Oréal went a step further and gave access to an advisory panel of highly respected dermatologists, who go behind the scenes and validated the products. Selected based on their deep skin care expertise, unique backgrounds, and credibility, the panel audited and validated the Derm Intensives line, doing their part—in conjunction with L’Oréal's scientific knowledge and powerful solutions—to make it the best it could be by dissecting testing protocols and results from independent clinical research facilities. Patch testing your skin care products is a great way to ensure your skin will have a good reaction to different formulas and ingredients without risking a rash or irritation being on full display.
Non- Comedogenic
To understand the origin of the word “non-comedogenic,” it’s important to explain what a comedo is first. A comedo is a clogged pore. A comedo can be closed (also known as a blackhead) or open (also known as a whitehead). Non-comedogenic products can reduce the risk of future blemishes forming due to blocked pores, which is why they are often recommended for acne-prone skin types. Many people wrongly assume that all non comedogenic products can help address the look of pre-existing acne, but this is not necessarily the case.
