What it is
Why it works
- 9% Lactic Acid (AHA) polishes away dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, more glowing skin.
- Gluconolactone (PHA) exfoliates, evens tone, improves clarity and hydrates.
- Exclusive Soothing Complex contains four molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid plus Aloe Vera and Green & White Tea Extract to soothe skin and minimize irritation.
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

- Sharon M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/9/23Excellent product
Love this product. Have been using this for about two years and plan to continue. It’s part of my morning routine. My skin’s appearance and texture have improved. In fact, my skin looks fantastic. In combination with retinol at night, the results can’t be beat!
- Laura C.Verified ReviewerRated 1 out of 5 stars4/16/23Severe rash with one use of sample
I have been using the retinol reform and have had good results. I received a sample of the Lactic acid acid. Within 24 hours I had a severe rash, itching, and redness. I’m taking steroids to calm it down but it’s been two days. I still have itching and mild rash. I just read another review with this type of reaction and wish I had read it before. . Be careful and test small spot before using is my recommendation since I’m not the only one with this reaction.

- Alexandra W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/12/23Holy grail!
Shani needs to win all of the rewards for this one. After a week or so I saw noticeable differences in both texture and dark spots - crazily it reduced my breakouts too. It helps to alternate between the lactic acid serum and retinol reform.

I wish had taken a before and after believe me when I say the Glow is flawless.
- AliciaVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars2/21/23Caused severe rash
Worst product I have ever used. Caused major rash/itchiness/bumpiness that lasted 2 weeks. Had to take oral steroids to calm down the reaction. I don’t have sensitive skin and regularly get chemical peels and use various chemical exfoliants and have never had this type of result. Be careful using this product!!!
