Refining Glycolic Serum

Fruit Acids + Astaxanthin Refining Resurfacing Serum

veologē Refining Glycolic Serum, nighttime clarifying and brightening serum for congested, dull, and uneven skin.

$78.00
Size:
2 oz

Brighter, smoother, more even skin without the tradeoff. The Refining Glycolic Serum delivers real resurfacing results while supporting the skin barrier at the same time. Three fruit acids (glycolic, malic, and lactic) work alongside niacinamide to refine texture and even tone, while plant stem cells and algae-sourced astaxanthin provide repair and powerful antioxidant defense. A single serum that addresses fine lines, uneven tone, congestion, and dullness, and a meaningful alternative for skin that doesn't tolerate retinols. Used consistently, skin looks refined, balanced, and clear.

Active results. No compromise.

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone
  • Balances oil production and calms visible redness
  • Defends against free radical damage with antioxidant support
  • A gentle alternative for skin that doesn't tolerate retinols

Fruit Acid Trio (Glycolic, Malic, Lactic Acids)

The heart of this formula and one of the most thoughtfully balanced exfoliation blends in skincare. Glycolic acid (from sugar cane) penetrates deeply to dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover. Malic acid (from apples) refines texture and brightens. Lactic acid (from milk) hydrates while it gently exfoliates. Together, the three deliver visible resurfacing results, smoother texture, brighter tone, and refined pores, without the irritation often caused by stronger single-acid formulas.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

The ideal supporting actor to active exfoliation. Niacinamide balances oil production, calms visible redness, minimizes the appearance of pores, and strengthens the skin barrier while the fruit acids resurface. The result is a more comfortable exfoliation experience and skin that stays calm, balanced, and supported throughout the renewal process.

Astaxanthin

A natural red carotenoid antioxidant sourced from microalgae, known for its exceptional free radical scavenging ability. Research suggests it may be up to 6,000 times more potent than Vitamin C as an antioxidant. Astaxanthin supports skin elasticity, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, protects against UV-induced damage, and has been recognized as a meaningful tool in reducing reliance on stronger actives like retinols.

Juniper Berry

A traditional botanical valued for its detoxifying and clarifying properties. Naturally rich in antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds, juniper supports skin resilience and helps balance skin going through hormonal shifts, making it especially supportive for perimenopausal and hormonally reactive skin.

Always follow with SPF the next morning. This product contains alpha hydroxy acids which may increase sun sensitivity.

In my practice, the Refining Glycolic Serum has become a helpful tool for clients moving away from retinols. Where their skin was once dry and irritated, it is now glowing, healthy, and happy. For clients whose skin does not tolerate retinols well, this is often where I start.

★★★★★

"I can't recommend the Refining Glycolic Serum enough. It has made such a difference in my perimenopausal skin. Every glycolic product I tried made my skin even drier and more irritated. Not with this serum, I haven't had any reactions and my skin looks more even. I'm even getting compliments on my skin, which I have never had before."

"This serum is liquid gold. It has helped my skin tremendously and I no longer use Retin-A."
