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

Exfoliating serums are hit and miss for me. I have sensitive skin, and they tend to irritate or even make my skin more reactive to other active ingredients. But Shani's Lactic Acid Serum really surprised me with that good kind of tingle when first applied and gentle and effective results from there on out. My skin feels smooth when I wake up the next morning. Plus, I am a vegan and love that I can use any product in this line with confidence - I'm also a fan of Retinol Reform and the Peptide Hydration Cream for my dry, sensitive face.

Received the travel size with purchase of new peptide hydration cream and so far it’s been great, even on my sensitive skin.
