What is Acure's Rough Texture collection designed to address?

The Rough Texture collection primarily focuses on **resurfacing and smoothing textured skin**. This includes skin that may have unevenness, bumps, or a generally rough feel, often using gentle chemical exfoliation to promote a smoother surface.

What is the key active ingredient in the Resurfacing Cleanser?

The star ingredient is **1% Glycolic Acid**, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). It works as a chemical exfoliant to gently dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, promoting a clearer and smoother complexion.

How does Glycolic Acid benefit rough-textured skin?

Glycolic Acid helps to **exfoliate the top layer of skin**, which improves cellular turnover. This process diminishes the appearance of rough texture, refines the look of pores, and contributes to overall skin radiance.

How often should I use the Resurfacing 1% Glycolic Acid & Unicorn Root Cleanser?

The cleanser is gentle enough for regular use, but due to the Glycolic Acid, it is generally best to start by using it **once daily or every other day** to allow your skin to adjust, especially if you have sensitive skin.

What is 'Unicorn Root' and what does it contribute to the collection?

Unicorn Root (Aletris Farinosa) is a botanical ingredient added for its complementary properties. It helps to **soothe and balance the skin** while the Glycolic Acid performs its exfoliating function, minimizing potential irritation.

Is the Rough Texture collection safe for sensitive skin?

While it contains a potent active ingredient (Glycolic Acid), the concentration is relatively low (1%) and balanced with soothing botanicals. However, those with highly sensitive skin should **patch test first** and use it less frequently.

Should I use sunscreen while using products with Glycolic Acid?

Yes, absolutely. Glycolic Acid can increase sun sensitivity because it removes dead skin cells. You must apply a broad-spectrum **sunscreen** every morning when using resurfacing products.

Are the products in the Rough Texture collection vegan and cruelty-free?

As with all Acure products, the Rough Texture collection is committed to clean beauty standards and is certified **100% vegan and cruelty-free**, and free from parabens, sulfates, and mineral oil.

Can this cleanser be used as a makeup remover?

While it is an effective cleanser, it is best used as the **second step in a double cleansing routine**, after removing makeup with a dedicated oil-based or micellar cleanser, to ensure the active ingredients can effectively resurface the clean skin.

Does the collection target roughness on both the face and body?

The Resurfacing 1% Glycolic Acid & Unicorn Root Cleanser is primarily intended for the **face**. However, the resurfacing principle—using AHAs for smoothing—is highly effective for uneven texture and can be sought in other body-specific products within Acure's full line.
