Love it!
My holy grail!! This has been my go to since 2020. I struggled with acne and dark spots since 14 and this changed everything. Always clears me up fast and keeps it all at bay. My face is so smooth and even now 😍 literally feels like silk when my face is being washed. When it’s sold out I can definitely tell a difference in my skin.

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.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Do not use this retinoid during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Perfec-Tone also advises avoiding it while breastfeeding. Ask your clinician about a suitable routine. Do not apply it to raw or irritated skin. If you use prescription tretinoin or other treatments, ask the prescriber before adding or alternating another retinoid.
How do I start if I am new to retinol?
Patch test before full use and follow the product label. A small-area test cannot guarantee that a reaction will not develop later. First-time users ease in every other night for one week before the 14-night cycle, followed by three retinoid-free recovery nights. Stop if irritation develops.
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.
Can I use it with Spot Treatment?
No. Never use them on the same day or during the same treatment course.
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.
Do I still need sunscreen?
Refining Crème contains SPF for casual everyday exposure, such as walking to and from the car. It is not full protection for a day outdoors. For a beach day, sports, sweating or long hours in the sun, use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on top and follow its label for reapplication.
Will I peel?
Visible peeling is not required for progress. Do not pick flakes. Mild dryness may occur, but persistent burning, raw skin, swelling or severe peeling need assessment, not more product. Stop treatment and seek medical advice for significant symptoms.
What should I do if my skin reacts?
Stop using the product if you develop persistent burning, raw skin, a rash, swelling or worsening symptoms. Do not push through a reaction or restart automatically. Seek medical advice for significant or persistent symptoms, and urgent care for breathing problems or severe swelling. Contact hello@perfec-tone.com with the product and your routine so a Glow Agent can help with product questions.
