Guide to Exuviance skin care top products and alternatives
If you happen to have been researching Exuviance skin care, and perhaps specifically the luxurious $96 Exuviance Age Reverse + Rebuild-5 Cream like we were, your minds will be blown as SKINSKOOL has discovered a product with a nearly identical INCI ingredient list. What does this mean? Well, while we don't know much about a product beyond the publically available ingredient list, it's a great step in potentially finding a product you might also like. In this case, the nearly identical ingredient-list potential alternative is the Neutrogena peptide cream. Why is this on our list as a possible product to try next? Let's start with, it'll save you $56. It always strikes us when we make discoveries like these that the stakes have always been stacked against the beauty consumer. I mean how is a consumer supposed to find out, from a pool of a million products on the market, if there is something out there that they could possibly like just as much with a similar ingredient list? After all, doesn't it make sense to start with a product that has similar ingredients to something you already like? Sure you don't know exact concentrations of the possible alternative, but at least you're in the family. Now, thanks to tools like SKINSKOOL ingredient-list similarity tracker, information like this is finding their way into the hands of the consumer.
Finding a comparable for Exuviance Age Reverse and Rebuild Cream
So as we mentioned, the Exuviance product in question is the Exuviance Age Reverse + Rebuild-5 Cream. It sells for $95 for 50g. Maybe you love the name, it sounds very techy. It avoids the now passe “anti-aging” term, preferring to drive aging into the reverse. Clever. And I love the concept of Rebuild – always love a project. No but seriously, this branding is spot on. Love the packaging, definitely appealing to your aspirational shopper tendencies.
Let’s look at the claims. The brand claims it’s “a revolutionary firming cream for visibly tighter skin and a more lifted appearance, with more defined cheekbones and contoured jawline”. Totally resonates with us because lifting is one of the main concerns we hear over at our private Facebook group from beauty consumers. It seems like everyone would prefer to have a non-surgical solution to the early signs of sagging skin as we age. Now how does the product propose to tackle these problems?
The main "call out" ingredients are:
- Shea butter and Glycerin (I like when brands acknowledge these super basic ingredients but solid foundations of their formulas)
- Vitamin E
- Peony botanical extract (Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract)
- Gluconolactone (PHA)
- Aminofil (Acetyl Tyrosinamide)
- MicroDiPeptide 229 (Acetyl Dipeptide-31 Amide). This one is the big kahuna which they claim took 8 years of development and is 2.5x smaller than the leading anti-aging peptides on the market, and hence their evidence for their claim of improved delivery into the skin.
Here are all the ingredients in the Exuviance AGE REVERSE + Rebuild-5 Cream: Aqua/Water/Eau, Isohexadecane, Gluconolactone, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propanediol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides, Glycolic Acid, Glyceryl Dilaurate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Acetyl Dipeptide-31 Amide, Acetyl Tyrosinamide, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Squalane, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Isocetyl Stearoyl Stearate, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-10, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Silica, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isostearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Sclerotium Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, PEG-40 Stearate, Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 60, Ceteareth-20, Sorbitan Isostearate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate, Isoceteth-10, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum (Fragrance)
Products with a very similar ingredient INCI list to Exuviance Age Reverse
Now what did our ingredient-list similarity tracker discover that might get you excited? You won't believe this, but it's a Neutrogena peptide cream. More specifically, the Neutrogena Rapid Firming Peptide Contour Lift Face Cream that currently sells for $40 for 50g.
It's a product with:
- the same first 12 ingredients in almost an identical order
- 97pts Match Score as against the Exuviance product, the entire list considered
- all the important call out ingredients present including the Aminofil and the super special MicroDiPeptide 229 with the tiny molecule size.
We always like to mention when we find an interesting similar ingredient-list potential alternative that our observations are based on the publicly available ingredient list only. Ingredient concentration, quality, processing and formulation processes is not considered. These factors can affect the efficacy of a product as well as its price. So all we can do is present the information, and you ultimately decide if you like it as much.

The Comparable Ingredients
In our opinion, if we were shopping for ourselves, every ingredient that matters seems to be in attendance except for the Peony Botanical Extract which we don’t care too much about since the rest is there.
For reference, here are the ingredients of the Neutrogena Rapid Firming Peptide Contour Lift Face Cream with the call out ingredients from the Exuviance cream bolded:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Isohexadecane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Gluconolactone, Glycerin, Propanediol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides, Glycolic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glyceryl Dilaurate, Acetyl Dipeptide-31 Amide, Dimethicone, Acetyl Tyrosinamide, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-10, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Methyl Decenol, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Isocetyl Stearoyl Stearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Squalane, Isostearic Acid, Propylene Carbonate, Glyceryl Stearate, Sclerotium Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, PEG-40 Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Polysorbate 60, Isopropyl Myristate, Ceteareth-20, Isobutyl Methyl Tetrahydropyranol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Isoceteth-10, Silica, Disodium EDTA, Methyldihydrojasmonate, Ethylene Brassylate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.
Who Makes Neutrogena?
If you’re still not convinced, you may want to know who makes Neutrogena? Interesting tidbit is that Exuviance and Neutrogena are owned by the same parent company, consumer packaged goods company Johnson & Johnson.
I don’t know about you but I’m very intrigued by the Neutrogena peptide cream and will be running off to give it a try as soon as I can. The efficacy is still up for judgement after some in real life trials but I’m sure that the $56 price difference is going to add to that buzzy feeling of product satisfaction. If we’ve learned anything searching for products we can afford, that’s a guarantee.
