Product Overview
MBR Overnight Refiner is a leave-on exfoliating gel for evening use. Used as directed, it removes excess sebum and lipids, refines the skin's surface structure and increases the skin's ability to take up the treatment products that follow.
The official formula highlights SkinPerf LWG, Grapefruit, and Allantoin. Together, these components support the product's role in the routine while helping the treated area look and feel well cared for.
Recommended For
Recommended for dull, uneven or congested-looking skin that tolerates acids, and for anyone whose creams seem to sit on the surface instead of sinking in. Follow the official frequency and precautions, particularly if skin is reactive.
Texture and Experience
A cool, light gel that spreads thinly across the whole face and settles without tack, leaving no film for the next step to work through.
Key Ingredients
- SkinPerf LWG: A synergy of AHAs in an innovative water gel, establishing an intra-cutaneous reservoir of AHA, increasing the cell turnover rate and refining the skin surface structure, for an even and glowing complexion.
- Grapefruit: Nutrient rich, including a high source of Vitamin C, to tone the skin and even out the complexion.
- Allantoin: Moisturizing, smoothing and soothing plant extract, supporting the skin's natural regeneration processes.

Not recommended for:
- Same-evening use with another acid product, retinoid or scrub
- Freshly waxed, sore or broken skin
- Application to the eyelids or the immediate eye area
- Skin that is currently peeling or feels raw
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use it?
In the evening, starting with two or three nights a week and building up only while skin stays comfortable.
Do I rinse it off?
No. Apply it to cleansed skin, let it settle for a few moments, then continue with serum and night cream.
How is it different from MBR Beta Enzyme?
Beta Enzyme is a rinse-off enzyme powder used at the basin. Overnight Refiner is a leave-on AHA gel that keeps working while you sleep.
Do I need sunscreen with it?
Yes. AHAs can increase sun sensitivity, so wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning.
Can sensitive skin use it?
Introduce it slowly and only if your skin tolerates acids. Alternate it with a gentler exfoliating step if it feels like too much.
