WHY WE LOVE IT
In oily skin, sebum is continuously pumping through the pore, creating a "sticky" environment on the skin's surface. Dead skin cells, dirt and pollution can easily clog the pore to cause breakouts and inflammation that lead to dark marks. This starts the "vicious cycle." Frequent, but gentle exfoliation is key for oily and combination skin to stay clear, healthy and luminous. Here's why we love THE PERFECTING SERUM...

HOW TO USE
Oily Skin In the evening, massage 1-2 pumps onto clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area.

All Follow with moisturizer. Apply broad spectrum sunscreen daily. Do not use other resurfacing/retinoid products on the same night. If sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency until skin adjusts.

THE PERFECTING SERUM FAQs
WHAT DOES THE PERFECTING SERUM DO? HOW DOES IT WORK?
THE PERFECTING SERUM is a unique chemical resurfacing treatment that breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells to gently and evenly exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. This removal of your skin's oily surface clears congestion, lifts dark marks, and smooths the texture for a brighter, more even, youthful complexion that glows.
It also allows effective penetration of our proprietary Oil Control (OCC3)™ complex and chosen actives to promote balance, improve all oily skin concerns, and prevent future imperfections.
CAN I USE THIS WHILE PREGNANT?
If pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend consulting your physician before use.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I BEGIN USING THE PERFECTING SERUM?
Consistency/Color A lightweight, fast-absorbing off-white lotion
Texture Silky and luxurious. Can be used as a spot treatment.
Amount Needed A little goes a long way. Do not over apply.
Smell No added fragrance, there is a slight medicinal scent from the ingredients.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS FROM THE PERFECTING SERUM?

HOW IS THE PERFECTING SERUM DIFFERENT THAN THE RETINOL RENEWAL?
THE PERFECTING SERUM is an exfoliating treatment focused on improving oily skin concerns on the surface of the skin. THE RETINOL RENEWAL accelerates cell turnover and works deep within the skin to keep the cells unblemished and healthy as they rise to the surface.
So, THE PERFECTING SERUM addresses the skin of today. THE RETINOL RENEWAL addresses the skin of tomorrow. When you use both serums, you can achieve even better results as your skin is nourished, treated, and corrected for improvement now and in the future.
CAN I USE THE PERFECTING SERUM WITH THE RETINOL RENEWAL?
While gentle, THE PERFECTING SERUM is a potent formula. We do not recommend using it with any other exfoliating or retinoid product on the same night. Once your skin acclimates, you can slowly introduce THE RETINOL RENEWAL on alternate nights for a comprehensive approach to caring for your oily or combination skin.
HOW IS THE PERFECTING SERUM MADE FOR OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN?
THE PERFECTING SERUM contains our exclusive Oil Control Complex (OCC3)™ that targets the enzyme in the skin that triggers excess oil production, 5-alpha reductase. Rather than mask the oil with mattifying ingredients, this serum addresses the root causes along with other actives, to correct and perfect at the cellular level. While these ingredients are beneficial to all skin, they are particularly important to balancing oily and combination skin.
CAN I USE THE PERFECTING SERUM IF I DON'T HAVE OILY SKIN?
Yes. Customers love this serum because of its extraordinary benefits, formulated without pore-clogging oils, butters and waxes. If you are dry or normal, simply follow with a richer moisturizer, particularly in areas where you tend to be dry.
HOW IS THE PERFECTING SERUM MADE FOR ALL SKIN TONES?
We don't just say it, we prove it. In every stage of formula development, the impact and efficacy on all skin tones is considered. That includes ingredient selection, delivery technology, formula composition, and clinical and consumer testing on every single Fitzpatrick skin type I - VI (representing skin tones) to confirm that LALAIS products work with visible results for all of those with oily and combination skin. This takes tremendous time and effort, and is evidenced by the quality and results of THE PERFECTING SERUM.
