Alumier Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.5%

Refines Texture (0.5% Retinol)

Promotes the shedding of dead skin cells to reveal fresh, new skin underneath. This dramatically smooths rough patches and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.

Firms & Plumps (Peptides)

Infused with Matrixyl Synthe'6®, a peptide that mimics the skin's natural repair signals to boost collagen production and firm loose skin.

Controlled Release

The retinol is encapsulated in a microscopic shell that dissolves slowly. This prevents the "flash burn" effect of traditional retinoids, making it much more tolerable.

Soothing Base

Contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Aloe to hydrate the skin while the retinol works, mitigating dryness and flaking.

Step 1: Night Only

Apply in the evening after cleansing. Do not use during the day.

Step 2: Apply

Apply 1-2 pumps to the face and neck. Avoid the delicate eye area.

Step 3: Moisturize

Follow with a barrier-repairing moisturizer like HydraDew or HydraRich.

Step 4: Acclimatize

Start with 2 nights per week. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Daily SPF use is mandatory.

Who should start with 0.5%?

This is ideal for normal to oily skin types who have used over-the-counter retinol before and want something stronger. If you have very sensitive skin, start with the 0.25% version first.

Will I peel?

You might experience mild micro-peeling or dryness, which is a normal sign of cell turnover. This usually subsides once your skin adjusts to the new strength.

Can I use it with acids?

Avoid using it at the exact same time as strong acids (like AHA Renewal Serum). We recommend alternating nights: Retinol one night, AHA the next, to avoid over-stimulation.
