Fillmed Skin Perfusion Perfecting Solution 100ml

Fillmed Skin Perfusion Perfecting Solution 100ml - a gentle liquid exfoliant with Gluconolactone (PHA) that removes dead cells, refines the look of pores, clarifies the complexion and prepares the skin for peels and aesthetic treatments

Perfecting Solution is the exfoliating lotion of Skin Perfusion, the professional skincare range of the French laboratory FILLMED Laboratoires. It is a light, water-based liquid that is applied with a cotton pad after cleansing, much like a toner, but with a targeted action: its key active, Gluconolactone, is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that gently loosens the bonds between dead cells on the skin surface. According to the manufacturer and its distributors, the solution removes dead skin cells, minimises the visibility of pores, helps eliminate impurities and leaves the skin smoother, clearer and more radiant. It is also used to prepare the skin for professional peels and to help the following products work on a clean, renewed surface. The formula is short and contains no perfume in its published ingredient list.

Gluconolactone - a gentle polyhydroxy acid

Gluconolactone belongs to the family of polyhydroxy acids (PHA), often described as the new generation of exfoliating acids. Distributors indicate that the gluconolactone used here is derived from corn. PHAs have a larger molecule than classic alpha-hydroxy acids, so they penetrate the skin more gradually. This is why they are known for exfoliating with less stinging and irritation, which makes them suitable for skin that does not tolerate stronger acids well.

Thanks to its many hydroxyl groups, Gluconolactone also has humectant properties: it attracts water, so the exfoliation does not leave the skin feeling dry. It is also used in professional chemical peels.

How the exfoliating action works

The outer layer of the skin is made of flattened cells that are naturally shed. When this process slows down, dead cells build up and the skin looks dull, rough and uneven, and pores can appear more visible because they get clogged with cell debris and sebum.

The Perfecting Solution loosens the keratin cells on the surface so that they can be removed more easily. The result is a smoother skin texture, a brighter complexion and a surface that is better prepared to receive serums and creams. Distributors also note that it helps enhance the penetration of the active ingredients applied afterwards.

A short, focused formula

The published ingredient list is minimal: Aqua, Gluconolactone, Sodium Hydroxide and the preservative Phenoxyethanol. Sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH of the solution. There are no oils and no perfume in the list.

Who is it for

According to distributors, Perfecting Solution is suitable for all skin types, and one distributor highlights it for skin prone to visible capillaries. It is particularly useful for adults with:

• Dull, tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
• Uneven skin texture and a rough surface
• Visible pores and a tendency to impurities
• Normal to oily or combination skin that needs regular exfoliation
• Sensitive skin that does not tolerate stronger acids, with a reduced frequency
• Skin being prepared for a peel or another aesthetic procedure

Preparation for peels and aesthetic treatments

In aesthetic practices, the Perfecting Solution is recommended as a daily home preparation in the period before professional treatments. Regular gentle exfoliation helps create a more even skin surface.

• Before chemical peels - as a gentle daily preparation, as advised by the practitioner
• Before other skin treatments - to refine the surface and remove dead cells
• Stop before and after a procedure for the period indicated by your practitioner

How to use

• Cleanse the skin first, for example with Skin Perfusion Micellar Water or Cleansing Oil
• Soak a cotton pad with the solution
• Sweep it once over the face, avoiding the eye contour and lips
• Let the skin dry, then apply your serum and moisturiser
• Use morning and/or evening, according to your skin's tolerance
• On sensitive skin, start with one evening per week
• In case of irritation, reduce the frequency of use

Sun protection and precautions with acids

Like all exfoliating products, Perfecting Solution can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. We recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, such as Skin Perfusion UV-Skin Protect SPF50+, and reapplying it during prolonged exposure.

• Test first on a small area, for example the side of the jaw, before full use
• Do not combine in the same routine with other strong exfoliants or peeling products unless advised by a specialist
• Avoid use on freshly shaved, waxed or irritated skin

What to expect

• After the first applications - a fresher, cleaner-feeling skin surface
• With regular use - smoother texture and a more radiant complexion
• Over time - pores that look less visible and fewer surface irregularities
• Before treatments - a more even surface, prepared as advised by the practitioner

A light tingling can occur with exfoliating acids; if it becomes intense or persistent, stop using the product. Results vary from person to person.

Synergies with the Skin Perfusion range

• Fillmed Skin Perfusion Micellar Water or Cleansing Oil - cleansing before the solution
• Fillmed Skin Perfusion C-Light Serum - a radiance serum applied after exfoliation
• Fillmed Skin Perfusion B3-Recovery Serum - Niacinamide care to support comfort and the skin barrier
• Fillmed Skin Perfusion HAB5-Hydra Serum - hydration after the exfoliating step
• Fillmed Skin Perfusion UV-Skin Protect SPF50+ - essential daily sun protection when using exfoliants

Warnings and contraindications

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, eye contour, lips and mucous membranes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not apply to broken, injured, sunburnt or irritated skin, or to skin that has just been treated, unless your practitioner allows it. A light tingling may occur; stop using the product in case of intense burning, redness or persistent irritation and consult a specialist. Always perform a test on a small area before first use, especially on sensitive skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid intense sun exposure during use. Do not use together with other strong exfoliants unless advised by a specialist. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend asking your doctor before use. Check the INCI list on the packaging if you have known allergies. Keep out of the reach of children.
