The cleansing serum leaves my skin soft, doesn't strip.
Lactic acid serum glides smoothly. Skin appears clearer.
Retinol Reform isn't harsh. Don't have the dreaded
"purge" that comes with using Retinol.

I’ve purchased the cleansing serum so I knew I liked it. Purchasing this gave me the opportunity to try the serums which I was afraid of because my skin is so reactive and sensitive. So far, so good. The sizes are perfect for travel. If you’re on the fence about whether these products will be too harsh, don’t be. They are effective for me without wreaking havoc on my skin.
