Resurface

Surface Exfoliant

An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) nail exfoliant that clears buildup, smooths texture, and preps nails for better treatment absorption.

Details

Resurface sets the foundation for beautiful, radiant nails. Lactic and Glycolic Acids clear buildup, smooth the surface, and prep the nail for everything that follows. Better absorption for more even texture. Once a week, make this the first step to beautifully bare nails. A skincare-level formula made to be used on nails, hands, and feet.

What it's good for
  • Surface buildup
  • Nail ridges
  • Uneven nail texture
  • Dry, rough cuticles
  • Flaky skin around nails
  • Dull-looking nails
How to use
  • Apply weekly
  • Designed with an applicator to keep your hands clean—work the silicone tip over nails, cuticles, and the surrounding skin on your hands and feet
  • A little goes a long way
  • No rinse needed; let it dry and then follow with Restore Strengthening Serum and Revive Finishing Gel Oil to complete The Buff Routine
  • Team Buff Tip: Use all over your hands and feet for complete smoothing
Katia's Tip

Apply 5-10 minutes before showering. In the shower, use your Horizon Cuticle Push Back to push back softened cuticles.

Key Ingredients
  • Lactic Acid — An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that gently softens and loosens dry buildup.
  • Glycolic Acid — An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that delivers deeper resurfacing to help smooth visible ridges and uneven nail texture.
  • Gluconolactone — A PHA (polyhydroxy acid) that provides mild exfoliation while drawing in moisture to help keep nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin conditioned.

Gentle Enough to Use Regularly

This does exactly what an exfoliant should without leaving my cuticles raw. It sloughs off the dry buildup around my nail beds and leaves everything smooth, but I never feel like I've overdone it.
