Why It Works

What gives Refine its gentler, texture-reset feel?

Exfoliating support
2% Mandelic Acid + 1.5% Salicylic Acid help unclog the look of pores, smooth bumpy texture, and support a fresher-looking complexion.

Comfort-first hydration
8% Glycerin, Panthenol, and Allantoin help keep skin feeling balanced and more comfortable while you refine.

Complexion support
Zinc PCA helps support a clearer-, steadier-looking complexion.

Lightweight serum feel
Isoamyl Laurate and a soft serum texture system help Refine feel smooth, breathable, and easy to follow with moisturizer.

The result:
Skin looks clearer, smoother, and more even - without the stripped or overly harsh feel.
