Refining Crème
Evens tone and keeps a dewy glow all day
Refining Crème is a professional-strength morning tone cream with built-in SPF. Retinol (Vitamin A) supports a smoother-looking, more even finish, and daily sun protection helps keep dark marks from getting louder.
AM: Apply 4 pumps to clean face and neck and massage gently until absorbed. It's designed to be your everyday morning step, including on nights you also use Resurfacing Crème or Spot Treatment. Safety: Leave at least 8 hours before your night retinoid, and never pair with prescription tretinoin the same day. Mild dryness or light flaking in the first weeks is normal.

Reviews
Goes Well With
Build a routine around Refining Crème
Three steps. Simple and consistent.
Works on its own. Works in a routine. Works with other brands. Consistency is the only rule.
AM only — after cleansing
Apply to clean skin each morning. It works as your treatment and SPF step in one — no separate sunscreen needed over it.
Apply 4 pumps, massage gently
Cover face and neck until absorbed. It layers well after a toner or serum, or works solo as your only morning step after cleansing.
Never layer with another retinoid the same day
Safe on its own every morning. If you are also using Resurfacing Crème at night, keep them on separate days. Read the Retinol Rules to make sure you are covered.
Build your personalized AM & PM regimen — step by step, in the right order.

To have complete control over your initial skin journey, we recommend you not mix this product with other brands unless tested together on the forearm prior.
