L.A. Refining Serum
Gentle AHA Exfoliant works incredibly well! Love the refreshing citric-like sent! Careful about using this product if you plan to be in the sun, apply sunscreen to prevent getting burned! It is a bit tough to determine how much is enough and not too much per application. If too much is used, my skin turns bright red along more sensitive skin areas and it stings. Also, avoid too much on neck, especially if you will be folding at the neck (looking down hahaha) if it gets in the crease of you neck is can give one a red line in each creased area! Seems that this product goes more quickly than others, cannot really use every drop because the bottle has a 'shoulder' bump out and the opening is too small to scrape out what is visibly still in there bottle. Every last drop should be usable considering the financial investment.

What makes L.A. Refining Serum unique?

This powerful yet gentle serum is formulated with dual exfoliating acids of 12% Lactic Acid (AHA), Mandelic Acid, and Gluconolactone (PHA) to exfoliate and improve clarity. This unique formula polishes away the build-up of dead skin cells and excess sebum, which can lead to skin congestion, dullness, texture, blackheads, and, acne if left untreated.

 

Does L.A. Refining Serum work with Needle-less Serum?

Yes! L.A. Refining Serum can be applied on top of Needle-less serum before your moisturizer. You'll wake up with an unmistakable radiant glow.

Directions

  • Apply 1-2 pumps to clean skin in the morning or evening.
  • Allow to absorb before applying additional products.
  • Can be used once daily or as directed by a physician.
