Textured skin is usually a combination of things that all contribute to an overall appearance of roughness. Some contributors may be dryness, acne, acne scarring, enlarged pores, rosacea, or a buildup or dry skin. Sometimes, the breakdown of elastin in the skin can contribute to the appearance of an uneven texture, as well. Some things that can lead to decreased elastin include aging and sun exposure.

You can minimize textured, uneven skin by moisturizing daily, wearing sunscreen daily, exfoliating regularly, and using calming, soothing skincare ingredients. Regular professional exfoliating treatments, like microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion, and chemical peels are excellent ways to keep dead skin from building up and contributing to uneven skin texture.

While there are quite a few ways to tackle texture, some of the best are resurfacing lasers, like our Laser Genesis and Ultra laser. These help to boost collagen and elastin, which in turn help tighten the skin and diminish acne scarring and enlarged pores. Targeting these difficult-to-treat contributors to texture can give you a huge boost in your journey to treat texture. Other treatments, like our professional exfoliation options, will help treat the surface build up causing texture. Microneedling is our most invasive treatment for skin texture, and give a huge boost to collagen and elastin production.

The best ingredients for texture include Vitamin C (like in Revision’s C+ Correcting Complex), AHA‘s (gentle chemical exfoliators), retinol (like in Revision’s DEJ Night Face Cream), and calming ingredients to reduce inflammation (like Revision’s Vitamin K Serum and CMT Cream).
