WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Oily skin pumps sebum all day causing the skin's surface to be "sticky" and a magnet for dirt. Dead skin cells and pollution can easily clog pores creating breakouts that lead to dark spots. Not to mention the shine. Excess oil starts the "vicious cycle." So, less oil, more beauty.
Frequent, yet gentle exfoliation keeps oily and combination skin clear, healthy and luminous. Here's why you'll love THE PERFECTING SERUM...

WORRY FREE
No longer stress if a product will work or break you out. We've done all the hard work for you.
HOW TO USE
CLEANSE • SERUM • MOISTURIZE
OILY SKIN At night, massage 1-2 pumps onto clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area.
COMBINATION SKIN At night, massage 1 pump onto clean, dry skin in areas prone to excess oil and congestion. Avoid 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.

Customer Reviews
Living in a humid climate with oily, breakout prone skin, I am always searching for the perfect product. The perfecting serum is it! Since using it, my skin is glowing and blemish free. And an added bonus, it replaces at least three products in my skincare regimen. Absolutely love it!
Please note that I am a serum snob and have been for years!. This serum is…different!! My skin is smooth and radiant! Thank you Lalais for allowing me to shine bright like a diamond! 🌟💎
Let me just start by saying, wow! The Perfecting Serum has completely transformed my skincare routine. While I've never had particularly problematic skin, I've always strived for that radiant, healthy glow. This serum has truly exceeded all expectations.
From the moment I incorporated it into my daily regimen, I noticed a remarkable difference in my skin's appearance. Not only does it impart a luxurious, plush texture to my skin, but it also leaves behind a stunning, natural radiance that I can't get enough of.
What sets this serum apart is its ability to enhance the overall quality of my skin. Despite not having any major skin concerns, I've noticed a significant improvement in the tone and texture of my complexion. My skin looks smoother, more even, and positively glowing from within.
I love how lightweight and fast-absorbing the formula is, making it perfect for layering under moisturizer and makeup that adds to the overall luxurious experience.
In short, The Perfecting Serum has become an absolute staple in my skincare routine. Whether you're looking to address specific concerns or simply want to enhance your natural radiance, I highly recommend giving this serum a try. Trust me, your skin will thank you!"
Cannot believe the amazing result this serum has given me. 10’s across the board!
Love this serum! I have gotten compliments on how I have a glow. Definitely a game changer and a keeper!
The shine on my nose and chin are finally gone! The breakouts have finally stopped, my skin is balanced for the first time. Go to product I use it every other day, using the retinol renewal on the other days!
I've been using this for about a month now and have noticed improvement in the surface of my skin, the redness and a reduction in oil. Really happy with this product!
the products are just unbelievable and I've seen a significant improvement in texture and overall radiance. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking an effective and simple skincare regimen. LALAIS took me to a different level 😍🧼
I have had breakout prone and sensitive skin my entire adult life. This amazing, game changing product controls oil, improves the condition of my skin and quickly addresses any breakouts. What I love most is that it’s not too harsh and the ingredients are clean! I also love the way the packaging looks great in my bathroom. A win win. Thank you Lalais.
I love love this product . My skin is smooth soft and even. The name is a perfect reflection of the product. I highly recommend it.
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?
We are mindful that inflammation can trigger oil production and hyperpigmentation. Our formulas deliver maximum efficacy while minimizing irritation. THE PERFECTING SERUM is not accompanied by intense stinging or burning, but it is hard at work transforming your skin for the long term.
Week 1 Skin calms and begins to acclimate
Week 2 Improvement begins
Week 3 Improvement underway
Week 4 Clinical & Consumer Trials report visible results
Continued Use Continued improvement
- Results and timing may vary by person and based on usage
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.
