How to use
Your Glowing Skin Serum
In PM routine (Retinol Reform rest nights), apply Lactic Acid Serum after cleanser and toner, apply 1-2 pumps all over face and neck and smooth into skin, avoiding the eye area. Wait 5 minutes for product to absorb and follow with moisturizer. Be sure to apply SPF in the AM, as freshly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to sun.
Not using retinol in your routine? Lactic Acid Serum can provide similar smoothing, brightening benefits. Incorporate it gradually into your routine, 1-2 times per week to start and use as often as your skin can tolerate.
Complete your routine with
“I created this serum to fill the gap in your skincare routine, for those that like to use an active nightly to keep skin soft, smooth and glowing on nights you don’t use retinol.” — Shani

I use this every other night and rotate it with Retinol Reform…they are game changing for my 60 year old skin. My face feels smoother and my skin is no longer dull.

Disappointing purchase. I'm accustomed to lactic acid products and have used loads of different brands. Tried this one, due to the name and it caused small spots which I woke up to the following day. Took a break and re-tried it- and the same thing happened! How annoying. My skin doesn't purge with acids and I've had many high-strength peels in the past with various acids. Looked up the ingredient list and saw a couple of comedogenic ingredients: soybean oil and Tocopherol. Leaving this review to help others. Unfortunately, I'll have to throw the product away.
