Details

Refine, renew, and reawaken your skin with The Refining Lotion—a next-generation exfoliating treatment designed to smooth texture, clarify pores, and enhance radiance without compromising the skin barrier.

Powered by PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) and OLUMES’ signature FCS Complex™, this lightweight lotion delivers intelligent resurfacing—gently dissolving dead skin cells while maintaining optimal hydration. Unlike traditional exfoliating acids, PHA works with a larger molecular structure, offering controlled, surface-level exfoliation that is exceptionally well-tolerated, even by sensitive skin.

At the core of the formula, FCS Complex™, derived from nutrient-rich seaweed hand-harvested in the pristine waters of Semporna, Sabah, infuses the skin with essential minerals and bioactive compounds. It helps calm, hydrate, and reinforce skin resilience—ensuring that exfoliation never comes at the expense of comfort.

Enhanced with niacinamide, ferments, and botanical extracts, the lotion supports skin clarity, refines the look of pores, and promotes a more even, luminous complexion over time.

Silky, lightweight, and refreshing, The Refining Lotion acts as a skin-preparatory step, optimising absorption of subsequent treatments while leaving skin smooth, balanced, and visibly refined.

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
