Ultra Gentle Smoothing Serum

Ultra Gentle Smoothing Serum uses a soothing 10% lactic and glycolic acid blend to lift away dryness and discoloration for red, sensitive skin types.

Ultra Gentle Smoothing Serum by Renée Rouleau uses a 10% non-drying glycolic acid cream and lactic acid blend to dissolve away dry cells and lift discoloration to reveal smoother skin with fewer visible pores, lines, and wrinkles. Soothing, fragrance-free ingredients work to improve the moisture barrier function, keeping sensitive skin feeling calm and comfortable.

This is a safer and more effective way to exfoliate for those that get easily-irritated from abrasive facial scrubs. Skin types with redness or rosacea will respond favorably to this gentle, yet high-performance formula, and with continued use will find their skin acting less sensitive yet revealing a brilliant clarity. The result? Beautiful, healthier and smoother-looking skin by Renée Rouleau. 

Size: 0.5 fl oz

    • How to Use

      • To effectively use Ultra Gentle Smoothing Serum to gently lift away dryness for sensitive, red skin: apply 1-2 pumps to entire face after cleansing and toning. Depending on the condition of your skin's barrier, a tingling sensation may or may not occur but is not an indicator of product effectiveness. Follow with a night cream recommended for your skin type. Use for three nights on, three nights off, with a Renée Rouleau hydrating skin serum (view our collection) on alternate nights.
      • Sunburn Alert: This product contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunburn. Wear sun protection daily and discontinue use prior to spending time directly in the sun.
