Intelligent Resurfacing Treatment | Refine • Renew • Reawaken

Refine, renew and reawaken your skin with The Refining Lotion—a next-generation exfoliating treatment designed to smooth uneven texture, clarify the appearance of pores and restore radiance while maintaining essential skin comfort.

Powered by PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) and OLUMES’ signature FCS Complex™, this lightweight treatment delivers intelligent resurfacing—gently lifting away accumulated dead skin cells while supporting hydration and the skin barrier.

Unlike more intensive exfoliating acids, PHA has a larger molecular structure, allowing it to work primarily at the skin's surface for a gentler, more controlled approach to exfoliation. This makes The Refining Lotion an ideal introduction to regular resurfacing, including for skin that may be less tolerant of stronger exfoliating acids.

At the heart of the formula, OLUMES’ signature FCS Complex™, derived from nutrient-rich seaweed sourced from the pristine waters of Semporna, Sabah, complements the exfoliating action with hydration and skin-conditioning support—helping maintain a smoother, more comfortable and resilient-looking complexion.

Enhanced with Niacinamide, Ferments and Botanical Extracts, the formula further supports skin clarity, helps refine the appearance of visible pores and promotes a brighter, more even-looking complexion over time.

Silky, lightweight and refreshing, The Refining Lotion also functions as a skin-preparatory treatment, creating a smoother, freshly refined canvas for the serums and moisturisers that follow.

 

Volume – 100ml

Formulator's Note

“Exfoliation should never feel aggressive to be effective. With The Refining Lotion, I wanted to create a formula that works in harmony with the skin—refining texture while preserving hydration and comfort.

PHA was selected for its unique ability to exfoliate while attracting moisture, making it ideal for daily use, even in sensitive or dehydrated skin. Combined with the FCS Complex™, the formula ensures that while the skin is being renewed, it is also being supported and strengthened.

This is not just about removing dead skin—it’s about restoring skin quality, clarity, and balance over time.”

— Aerin Gabor, Cosmetic Scientist
