skinwithbes review for The Refining Lotion

Comes in a plastic bottle with a twist cap, this lotion, or toner can be used right after cleansing. It features ingredients like Gluconolactone, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide & Kalalit Extract. It has a consistency similar to water — runny liquid — that is so lightweight it sinks into the skin beautifully without any tackiness or stickiness, leaving a dewy finish instead. No added fragrance but the scent is something that you will expect from an exfoliant-based product which is that tangy & funky one. Not overwhelming at all so I am good. When I started using it, I was smacked with such a low impression because I do not feel a good amount of hydration or soothing effect. They were fine but not enough for me. However, after two weeks of using this, I notice a huge change in my dullness & hyperpigmentation. The inclusions of various acids from AHA to BHA to even PHA have helped to shed my dead skin cells, resulting in a nice glow skin without giving any irritation or inflammation. I did not experience any stinging or tingling sensations that I have always encountered from using intense exfoliants. Not only that, but I also notice how my skin feels ultimately healthy and radiant every time I use it. The fact that they include fermented ingredients and Kalalit Extract has helped me to strengthen and continuously build my skin barrier. I am not a fan of the price but when you try to calculate and take into account the amount that you are going to use for one bottle, it is actually pretty reasonable and justifiable since one bottle can last you for at least 4 months.
