A good tingle!

I was not sure that there would be a place for the L.A. Refining Serum in my skincare routine, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I feel a tingle when I apply it, and I can feel it working. I use it probably 3-4x per week. DRMTLGY products are the best!

Smooth and rich

This silky product is a wonderful base for my foundation. I've noticed a big overall improvement in the suppleness of my 57 year old skin. I'm on my second bottle and don't intend to stop!

Smooth and dewy

This serum really makes my skin soft and supple. I’ve been using every couple days for the past two weeks and have noticed smoother texture in my skin. I have sensitive skin and it does irritate me. Skin soaks it up and I love to layer the peptide night cream over it for extra hydration.

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.
