WHO IT’S FOR

Dry, sensitive and aging skin that looks dull, rough or uneven as natural cell turnover slows. It’s designed for changing skin, including perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal skin, and for skin prone to adult blemishes that can’t tolerate traditional exfoliating acids.

Ideal for:

  • Rough, uneven texture
  • Dullness and ashiness
  • Uneven-looking skin tone
  • Enlarged-looking pores
  • Adult blemishes
  • Dehydration-related flaking

Every skin type benefits from exfoliation. As skin ages, natural cell turnover slows and dead cells build up, leaving the complexion dull, rough and uneven. LISSE™ gently supports skin renewal while respecting the skin barrier. It improves the look of rough texture, dullness, uneven tone, pores and blemishes, leaving skin smoother, brighter and better prepared for the rest of your routine.

Rather than forcing rapid exfoliation, LISSE™ was inspired by the skin’s own renewal cycle. It combines clinically studied exfoliating ingredients with barrier-supportive lipids, postbiotic science and botanical diversity, for smoother, healthier-looking skin without unnecessary irritation.

Slowed skin renewal: mandelic acid, lactic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) help support healthy skin turnover for a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.

Barrier breakdown: panthenol, cholesterol, borage oil, lecithin and allantoin help replenish moisture and support the barrier throughout the renewal process.

Microbiome disruption: a postbiotic Bacillus ferment and a diverse botanical complex help support a balanced skin microbiome and a calmer-feeling skin environment.

Dehydration: unlike many exfoliants, LISSE™ combines humectants, barrier lipids and nourishing emollients to help keep skin hydrated as it renews.

Exfoliation should prepare the skin, not punish it. As estrogen declines, skin renewal naturally slows. Skin becomes rougher, duller and less radiant, and often more prone to persistent blemishes and uneven tone. At the same time, the barrier becomes more fragile, making traditional exfoliating acids harder to tolerate.

LISSE™ was formulated as the renewal step of The Layland Method™. Rather than relying on a single exfoliating acid, it combines complementary renewal ingredients, barrier-supportive lipids, a postbiotic ferment and nutrient-rich botanicals to support healthy skin turnover while keeping skin comfortable.

The result is smoother, brighter skin, ready for every formula that follows.

  • Mandelic acid: the primary exfoliating acid. Its larger molecule penetrates the skin more gradually than smaller AHAs, improving texture while staying suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
  • Lactic acid: complements exfoliation and contributes to the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), helping keep skin hydrated during renewal.
  • N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG), 3.40%: a clinically studied ingredient that supports skin renewal, improves hydration and helps even the look of uneven tone.
  • Postbiotic Bacillus ferment: selected to help support a balanced skin microbiome and a calmer-feeling complexion.
  • Ten-botanical complex: willow bark, witch hazel, watercress, burdock, sage, ivy, bladderwrack, soapwort, lemon peel and borage oil add botanical diversity and support a healthier-looking skin environment.
  • Panthenol, cholesterol, lecithin, allantoin and barrier lipids: replenish moisture and keep skin comfortable throughout the renewal process.

We believe almost everyone needs exfoliation.

As skin ages, its natural cell turnover slows, allowing dead surface cells to build up. This can lead to dullness, rough texture and uneven-looking tone. Gentle exfoliation, adjusted to the skin’s tolerance, removes that buildup to reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin and prepares the surface for the actives that follow.

Most exfoliants focus on removing dead skin. LISSE™ helps renew the skin while protecting the barrier.

  • Triple renewal system: mandelic acid, lactic acid and NAG work through complementary pathways to support healthy skin renewal.
  • Barrier-first exfoliation: barrier lipids, panthenol and allantoin help keep skin comfortable throughout renewal.
  • Microbiome support: a postbiotic ferment and botanical diversity help support a balanced skin environment.
  • Multiple pathways at once: supports skin renewal, hydration, barrier resilience and microbiome balance together.
  • Designed for changing skin: formulated for dry, sensitive, aging, perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal skin, including skin prone to adult blemishes.

Warm a small amount between your fingertips and gently press onto clean, dry skin across the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. Let it absorb fully, then follow with BUFFÈRE™.

Sensitive skin: apply BUFFÈRE™ first as a cushioning layer, let it settle for 30 to 60 seconds, then apply LISSE™.

WHEN TO USE

Use one to three evenings per week, as tolerated, on active nights.

  • Active nights: PASTÈSE™, then LISSE™, then BUFFÈRE™.
  • Don’t use on the same night as RÉAU™ or other retinoids. Alternate exfoliation nights and retinoid nights.
  • Don’t use LAMELLARE™ or BASTINA™ on the same night.
  • Every morning: finish with a broad-spectrum non-nano zinc oxide SPF 50. AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.


First time? Patch test on the inner arm or behind the ear for a few days before using it on your face.

    Primary concern Dull, dry


    I am in awe of how my skin looks and feels after using Lisse. As an aesthetician I am used to different kinds exfoliating products, but Lisse is different. It feels mild, yet the morning after you feel like your skin has had had a deeper exfoliation. Since it’s part of the Layland Method, where I use the lipid sealant over it, my barrier feels intact, no dryness, no peeling, no sensitivity. Just soft, plump, glowy hydrated skin!
