How to use

01

Patch test and ease in

Patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours. Then apply every other night for one week.

02

Apply at night

Smooth 5 pumps in a thin layer over clean, dry skin. Avoid eyes and lips, then let it absorb.

03

Follow the cycle

Use for 14 nights, take a 3-day break, then repeat. Add a plain moisturizer if needed.

Pairing rule: Do not use with Spot Treatment on the same day or during the same treatment course. Pause Purifying Toner. Revitalizing Serum may be applied first, and Refining Crème may be used the following morning.

    Powerful!

    Careful with this one-stay with the routine, your skin will peel. Be prepared - don’t be scared when it happens. Trust the process.

Frequently asked questions

What is Resurfacing Crème best for?
It is a cycle-based nighttime retinol treatment for stubborn dark marks, acne scars and rough, uneven-looking texture.

How do I apply it?
At night, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin while avoiding the eyes and lips. Let it absorb fully.

What can I use with it?
Apply Revitalizing Serum first if you use it. Refining Crème may be used the following morning. Pause Purifying Toner during the course.
