A rejuvenating set is a skincare set that is meant to rejuvenate or renew the skin by assisting or accelerating its exfoliation process. It generally features four products, which represent the four pillars of a modern basic skincare routine: cleanser, toner, protect/moisturize, moisturize/treat. The active ingredients that make rejuvenating sets effective are a combination of either one or more of the following: AHA, BHA, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin. However, some rejuvenating sets in the past (and even today) are not transparent with their active ingredients list, some still contain high concentrations of Tretinoin and Hydroquinone, and most have a one-size-fits-all formula.
Positive ingredients in rejuvenating sets include Lactic Acid, Kojic Dipalmitate, and Vitamin B3. However, rejuvenating sets can have negative effects on irritated skin and redness. Some people may be allergic to one of its ingredients or may experience an irritant reaction, especially if they have sensitive skin.
Here are some positive and negative aspects of rejuvenating sets:
Positive:
- Can rejuvenate or renew the skin by assisting or accelerating its exfoliation process.
- Can contain effective active ingredients such as AHA, BHA, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin.
- Can contain positive ingredients such as Lactic Acid, Kojic Dipalmitate, and Vitamin B3.
Negative:
- Some rejuvenating sets are not transparent with their active ingredients list.
- Some rejuvenating sets contain high concentrations of Tretinoin and Hydroquinone.

- Some people may be allergic to one of its ingredients or may experience an irritant reaction, especially if they have sensitive skin.
It is important to note that rejuvenating sets are not meant for every skin type, for every skin concern, and for long-term use. It is best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist to help you understand your skin and to know which products work for you.
