No. 9 Daily Liquid Exfoliant
No. 9™
A calibrated daily renewal complex designed to lift accumulated debris and restore the skin’s appearance of a natural renewal rhythm.
No. 9 is a liquid exfoliant. It replaces the need for harsh physical scrubs and retinoids by using a precise blend of alpha- and poly-hydroxy acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin in place.
The Biological Deadlock
1. Cellular Stagnation
As we age, dead skin cells (corneocytes) fail to shed. They stay tightly bound, creating a thick, waterproof barrier that traps bacteria and prevents nutrient absorption. This is why skin looks dull and congested.
2. The Barrier to Entry
Applying serums to un-exfoliated skin is a waste of resources. The "bio-buildup" prevents actives from reaching living tissue. No. 9 removes this blockage, clearing the biological aperture for Step 2 and 3.
3. Non-Traumatic Polish
Unlike scrubs that cause micro-tears and inflammation, No. 9 uses chemical logic to "un-glue" dead cells. It provides a smarter, deeper polish that preserves the long-term health of the acid mantle.
The Intelligence of Exclusion
NO HYALURONIC ACID
HA creates osmotic stress, pulling moisture from your deep dermis to the surface. OUMERE utilizes AHAs to support the skin's own Natural Moisturizing Factors instead.
NO VITAMIN C
L-Ascorbic Acid is unstable and often oxidizes into a pro-oxidant, triggering the very inflammation it claims to prevent.
MOLECULAR INTEGRITY
Mass manufacturing degrades plant extracts with industrial heat, processing and use of chemical solvents and preservatives. OUMERE is individually handcrafted in exclusive-volume edition cycles in a private Palm Beach laboratory to maintain biological potency.
GLASS PURITY
Plastic leaches endocrine-disruptors into active formulas. We use inert glass to ensure the Oumere you apply is free from migration.

“Skincare is a biological system, not a shopping list. You cannot remove one piece and expect the architecture to stand.”
Proceed to Step 2: UV-R →No. 9 should only be used with OUMERE products to avoid irritation and to experience the most powerful and profound anti-aging results. Apply several drops onto a cotton pad. For those with sensitive skin or skin not used to chemical exfoliation, add equal parts water to cotton pad to dilute. Beginning at the forehead, pat cotton pad gently onto face, neck, and décolleté. Do not rub product into skin as this can cause irritation. There is no need to rinse product off, No. 9 will cease exfoliating after approximately 30 minutes when your skin naturally returns to its normal pH level. Wait at least one minute before applying additional products. The longer No. 9 stays on skin before applying next product, the more exfoliation your skin will experience.
