    Apply 1-2 pumps to face after cleansing and toning. Depending on the condition of your skin's barrier, a tingling sensation may or may not occur, but this is not an indicator of product effectiveness. Follow with a moisturizer for your skin type.

In the Treatment Room

Even barrier-compromised skin needs gentle exfoliation to stay balanced. AHAs draw water to the skin, and when paired with soothing ingredients in a serum, skin feels smooth, calm, and comfortable.
Exfoliating acids work best in leave-on formulas. Apply a serum at night and seal with moisturizer so it can smooth your skin's texture while you sleep.
People think they have sensitive skin because they get irritated easily from harsh products. The products may be the problem, which is why choosing the right formulas for your skin type is essential.

    Perfect Balance of Exfoliation For Sensitive Skin

    I had tried using the BHA Clarifying Serum and the Pore + Wrinkle Perfecting Serum (separately), but my skin would sometimes break out when I used these products and I couldn't settle into a good routine with either. I live at high altitude in Colorado so using a multi layer approach to exfoliation works best for me. The Ultra Gentle Smoothing serum has delivered on exactly what it said it would. It does not bother my extra sensitive skin and I wake up in the morning with noticeably smoother skin. Win-win!

    Love it!

    My skin is too sensitive to handle most products. This product helps with aging and doesn’t irritate my skin!

    INCREDIBLE for #5 Sensitive & Red Skin!!!

    I have incredibly sensitive, rosacea-proned aging skin. I was expecting my skin to turn red and break out at least at first with this product. All I had was a tiny bit of stinging the first two times. I’m telling you, between this and the Advanced Resurfacing Serum I am a new woman !!!! Thank you Renee!

    Smoothing and gentle - just as described!

    I vary my serums throughout the week, but this is one I use 3 nights a week. I love that it's gentle on my sensitive skin, but I still get the benefits of an acid. No more dry patches and my skin is smoother. As a bonus, I also pat a little under my eyes and then top with Total Eye Repair Creme. Love it!
