Société Refinishing Plus Complex is an intensive resurfacing treatment combining Retinol, three alpha-hydroxy acids and Salicylic Acid to target fine lines, pigmentation, congestion, uneven texture and dullness.
The high-performance formula contains pure Retinol alongside Retinyl Linoleate and Retinyl Palmitate, providing multiple forms of vitamin A support. These ingredients help promote cellular renewal and visibly improve wrinkles, rough texture, uneven tone and sun-damaged-looking skin.
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Malic Acid provide multi-level AHA exfoliation, helping loosen accumulated surface cells and reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin. Salicylic Acid offers complementary BHA exfoliation within oily or congested pores.
Société’s Pigment Regulating Technology combines targeted antioxidants, vitamin derivatives and tone-supporting ingredients to help improve the appearance of discolouration. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Green Tea and Sodium Hyaluronate provide complementary antioxidant, hydrating and conditioning benefits.
This is one of the strongest corrective products within the Société homecare range and should be introduced gradually, particularly for clients who have not previously used Retinol or leave-on exfoliating acids.

How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye contour, lips and compromised areas.
Although Société permits morning and evening use for tolerant skin, evening use is the more appropriate starting point. Begin one or two nights per week and increase gradually according to tolerance and professional guidance.
Follow with a calming or hydrating moisturiser. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning.
Suggested Routine
PM: Pure Everyday Cleanser → Refinishing Plus Complex → Calming Relief Balm or Vitamin D Complex
AM: Gentle Cleanser → Antioxidant Serum → Hydrating Moisturiser → Broad-Spectrum SPF
Do not use in the same routine as Blemish Clarifying Complex, AHA Exfoliating Cleanser, another Retinol treatment, leave-on exfoliating acids, facial scrubs or at-home peels.
Temporarily discontinue before and after professional peels, laser, skin needling, waxing or other resurfacing treatments according to clinician advice.
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically approved by a medical practitioner.
Ingredients
Retinol
A well-researched vitamin A ingredient that supports cellular renewal and helps visibly improve fine lines, wrinkles, texture and uneven tone.
Retinyl Linoleate + Retinyl Palmitate
Vitamin A esters that provide complementary age-management and visible tone support.
Glycolic Acid
An AHA that helps improve accumulated surface cells, rough texture, pigmentation and dullness.
Lactic Acid
Provides exfoliation while helping support a smoother and more hydrated-looking skin surface.
Malic Acid
A complementary AHA that contributes to the product’s multi-acid resurfacing action.
Salicylic Acid
An oil-soluble BHA that helps improve congestion, blackheads and blocked-looking pores.
Vitamin C
Ascorbic Acid provides antioxidant support and helps promote a brighter-looking complexion.
Green Tea + Vitamin E
Provide complementary antioxidant support against environmental stress.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Helps attract moisture and support a smoother, more supple appearance.
Clinical Information
Société lists Refinishing Plus Complex at a pH of approximately 5.0–6.0 and confirms that it contains Retinol, two additional vitamin A derivatives, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Malic Acid and Salicylic Acid.
The manufacturer does not publish the percentages of Retinol or the individual exfoliating acids. The product should therefore not be marketed with an assumed Retinol or acid concentration.
No product-specific controlled human study, participant number or quantified improvement percentage is provided on the public product page. “Patented delivery system” and “Pigment Regulating Technology” are manufacturer terms rather than disclosed comparative clinical results.
Perfect Pairing
For ageing + uneven texture:
Refinishing Plus Complex → Vitamin D Complex
For pigmentation:
Even Out Dark Spot Corrector in the morning → Refinishing Plus Complex on selected evenings → Daily SPF
For congestion + post-blemish marks:
Alternate Refinishing Plus Complex with Blemish Clarifying Complex rather than applying both together.
Refinishing Plus vs Blemish Clarifying Complex
Refinishing Plus Complex = advanced Retinol, AHA and BHA treatment for ageing, pigmentation and texture
Blemish Clarifying Complex = acid-focused serum for oil, congestion, blackheads and blemish-prone skin
