SKIN REFINING ROUTINE

Most gel cleansers strip your skin. They leave you feeling tight, dry, and irritated. Clear Cleanse actually cleanses without destroying your barrier.
We formulated it with ceramides and cholesterol, the same lipids your skin naturally produces while you're removing dirt and oil, you're simultaneously supporting your barrier. It also has hyaluronic acid and glycerin, so your skin stays hydrated even while being cleansed.
You get a proper clean without the squeaky-tight feeling. Your skin feels soft, hydrated, and ready for the rest of your routine. That's the difference between a cleanser that works against your skin and one that works with it.

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins such as collagen and elastin in the skin.

In skincare, peptides act as messengers. They signal the skin to support processes like firmness, elasticity, and repair. When applied topically, certain peptides can help improve the appearance of fine lines and strengthen the look of the skin over time.

Think of peptides as communication tools, encouraging the skin to function in a way that supports resilience, smoothness, and overall structure.

Very important.

Serums deliver targeted actives, but they don’t seal them in. SUPREME SKIN 7 is designed to lock in hydration, reinforce the skin barrier, and prevent transepidermal water loss, which is essential after layering treatments.

Without a moisturiser, the actives you’ve applied can evaporate or become less effective. Finishing with SUPREME SKIN 7 ensures:

Improved moisture retention

Stronger barrier support

Better tolerance of active ingredients

A smoother, more balanced finish

Think of it as the step that completes the system, not just another layer, but the one that holds everything together.

Yes. PEPTIDE POWER ESSENCE and SUPREME SKIN 7 both deliver deep hydration and barrier support. SKIN REFINING GLAZE also contains Squalane and Beta Glucan to soothe and moisturise while the Mandelic Acid works.

The routine is designed for morning and night use. Start with SKIN REFINING GLAZE one to two times a week and increase frequency as your skin adjusts, most skin types work up to nightly use. In the morning, skip the cleanse step, rinse with water and go straight to PEPTIDE POWER ESSENCE. Always finish your morning routine with SPF.

Skin Refining Glaze is your treatment step.

Use it after cleansing and before heavier serums or moisturisers.

Evening Routine Order (Recommended)

Cleanser

Essence (if using)

Skin Refining Glaze

Hydrating serum (optional)

Moisturiser

Because it contains 6% Mandelic Acid, it’s best used in your night routine, but some people love it under makeup.

Can I use it before or after the essence?

Either works.

• Apply after essence if you prefer extra hydration first.
• Apply directly after cleansing if you want a simplified routine.

Important

Avoid layering it in the same routine with other exfoliating acids or strong actives unless your skin is very experienced.

The goal is strategic refinement not overload.

Applied consistently in the right step, it helps smooth texture while keeping your barrier calm and supported.

Mandelic Acid gently loosens the buildup sitting on the surface of your skin.

Instead of aggressively peeling or stripping, it works by dissolving the bonds between dull, dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more evenly.

The result?

• Smoother texture
• Brighter-looking skin
• Clearer-looking pores
• Makeup that sits beautifully

What makes Mandelic Acid different is its larger molecular size. It penetrates more slowly than harsher acids, which means it refines gradually with less risk of irritation.

So you get the smoothing benefits of exfoliation
without the sting, redness, or compromised barrier.

It’s not about forcing your skin to react.
It’s about helping it renew, calmly and consistently.

That’s how you achieve that refined, glazed finish.

Totally!

Most exfoliating products focus only on resurfacing.
Skin Refining Glaze was formulated to refine and support hydration at the same time.

Here’s how:

Beta Glucan helps create that soft, cushioned feeling on the skin while supporting moisture retention.
Squalane helps reduce transepidermal water loss, keeping skin supple and comfortable.
The texture itself is rich and glaze-like, not thin or stripping.

So while 6% Mandelic Acid gently refines texture, the supporting ingredients help maintain a calm, hydrated barrier.

The result?

• Smoother-looking skin
• Comfortable wear overnight
• No tight, dry after-feel
• A soft, glazed finish

It’s exfoliation that feels nourishing, not aggressive.

Yes — but it depends on how you use them.

Skin Refining Glaze contains 6% Mandelic Acid, which is an exfoliating AHA.
Retinol and other active treatments (like stronger acids) also increase cell turnover.

Layering too many actives in the same routine can increase the risk of irritation — even if each product is gentle on its own.

If You Use Retinol

The safest approach is to alternate nights:

• Night 1: Skin Refining Glaze
• Night 2: Retinol
• Night 3: Hydration-focused routine

This allows your skin to benefit from both without overwhelming your barrier.

If your skin is very resilient and experienced with actives, you may be able to layer, but alternating is the most barrier-supportive strategy.

If You Use Other Exfoliating Acids (Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic)

Avoid using them in the same routine as Skin Refining Glaze.

Over-exfoliation can lead to:
• Redness
• Tightness
• Increased sensitivity
• Compromised barrier

Remember consistency beats intensity.

What You Can Pair It With

Skin Refining Glaze works beautifully alongside:

• Hydrating serums
• Barrier-supporting ingredients
• Niacinamide
• Peptides
• Essence steps
