All eyes are on Jenna Johnson when she dances—and the same goes for when she shares makeup-free selfies of her radiant skin. The 30-year-old Dancing With the Stars pro has had her share of skin challenges, but these days, she swears by Exuviance—namely, a specific at-home resurfacing peel from the brand—to keep her complexion looking its best. While she’s an ambassador for the brand, the before-and-after photos shared on her Instagram grid truly speak for themselves. See below for the full effect.
“As a performer, I know the importance of skincare maintenance for performance-ready skin,” she began the caption. “I’ve been using the @exuviance Performance Peel AP25 at home 2x a week for a month, and my skin has gone from dull to glowing. Dancing and sweating with heavy makeup used to cause me to breakout, but this peel from Exuviance has completely transformed my skin.”
The peel she’s referring to is a two-step chemical peel. The first step, the “activator pad,” combines glycolic acid and mandelic acid to refine pores, smooth, and brighten skin. It also features gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid that enhances texture and moisturizes. The second step, the “neutralizer pad,” is crucial for preventing overexfoliation, irritation, and soothing the skin.

This isn’t the first time she’s spoken about her love of the peel, either. In an interview with NewBeauty in May, the dancer opened up about her journey to discovering the peel and how it’s boosted her confidence.
“As you know, I perform a lot on stage and I am constantly having to wear thick, heavy makeup,” she began. “I also wasn’t educated about my skin and what products were too harsh or not strong enough for my skin type, so I really had to go on a journey. A couple of years ago, I had really bad adult acne, and there was nothing that my dermatologist was telling me that was helping. I was so insecure showing up on set with my face looking how it did—I was just really bummed. So, flash forward to this journey of finding what skin care brands really help my confidence and my skin, and Exuviance is that. I’m really, really grateful for their Performance Peel AP25 At-Home Facial ($86). It has helped reset my skin and get it ready for show days or long days on set.
I naturally have really dry skin, and this peel is great for that. It’s an at-home, high-performance level peel that you can do in your bedroom or in your bathroom, and it has helped with resurfacing my dry areas and making my skin feel brighter. I’m so grateful for that because, again, I I feel like makeup is a huge part of my life, but I never want to feel like I’m hiding behind it or hiding my natural beauty. I love that I can go makeup-free anywhere now and feel confident in my own skin.”
