SKIN REFINING GLAZE

Night is ideal. But it is totally up to you, but let us explain why we prefer to recommend evening application.

Skin Refining Glaze contains 6% Mandelic Acid, which works by gently exfoliating the surface of the skin. Your skin naturally renews overnight, so applying it in the evening supports that process while minimising sun exposure.

Using it at night allows:
• Gradual refinement while you sleep
• Better tolerance
• Easy layering with your moisturiser
• No need to rush with SPF application immediately after

You can use it under makeup, and it is designed to layer.
For most people, this is the most effective and barrier-supportive way to use it.

Skin Refining Glaze is designed to improve texture, clarity, and glow, without compromising your skin barrier.

Here’s what you can expect with consistent use:

Smoother Texture
6% Mandelic Acid gently loosens surface buildup, so dull, uneven skin sheds more evenly.
Result:
• Softer-feeling skin
• Less visible texture
• A more refined surface

Better Light Reflection
When the texture is smoother, the skin reflects light more evenly.
That’s what creates the subtle “glazed” finish, even without makeup.

Clearer-Looking Pores
By helping prevent surface buildup, it supports smoother-looking pores over time.

Brighter Appearance
Rice Extract supports a more luminous look, helping skin appear fresher and more even.

Hydrated, Comfortable Skin
Unlike harsh exfoliators, Skin Refining Glaze includes:
• Beta Glucan for cushioning
• Squalane to reduce moisture loss

So your skin feels calm and hydrated, not stripped.

Yes it can be, when used correctly.

Skin Refining Glaze was formulated to refine texture without stripping, burning, or irritating the skin, which makes it friendlier for sensitive skin than many traditional exfoliants.

Here’s why:

Mandelic Acid has a larger molecular size than other AHAs, so it penetrates more slowly and gently.

Beta Glucan helps cushion and soothe the skin’s feel.

Squalane supports moisture balance and helps protect the skin barrier.

Rice Extract adds a gentle brightening benefit without harshness.

Together, these ingredients help refine texture while maintaining comfort.

How to Use It on Sensitive Skin

To minimise potential irritation:

Start slowly:
Use Skin Refining Glaze 1-2 nights per week to begin. Use it after your essence.

Build gradually:
Increase to every other night only if your skin tolerates it well.

Always follow with hydration (serum + moisturiser), and avoid pairing it with other exfoliating acids or potent actives in the same routine.

Signs It’s Working - Not Irritating

✔ Skin feels smooth (not tight)
✔ No burning or redness
✔ Makeup sits more evenly
✔ You notice a brighter texture over time

If your skin becomes red, tight, or uncomfortable, reduce frequency, healthy, calm skin always performs better.

Start 1-2 nights per week.

Skin Refining Glaze contains 6% Mandelic Acid, which gently exfoliates, but your skin still needs time to adjust.
You can increase to every second or third night, depending on tolerance.

Some skin types may comfortably use it more frequently, but consistency is more important than intensity.

Signs You’re Using It the Right Amount

✔ Skin feels smooth and calm
✔ Makeup applies more evenly
✔ No tightness or excessive sensitivity

If you notice redness, dryness, or irritation, scale back.

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

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.
