Description

Our Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.25 is encapsulated for time-release, providing a gentle yet effective solution for those new to retinol. This advanced formula diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting clarity and resilience. The time-released delivery system ensures continuous rejuvenation throughout the night, making it suitable for first-time retinol users. Infused with niacinamide, it helps minimise irritation, while a clinically proven peptide supports a smoother, firmer complexion.

This serum not only targets visible signs of ageing but also helps protect against oxidative stress, a key contributor to the visible effects of Oxidative Ageing™. By enhancing skin renewal and improving texture, this product prepares your skin to face daily environmental stressors. We recommend consulting with a skincare professional before starting a retinol routine to ensure the best concentration for your skin's tolerance levels.

Ingredients

Microencapsulated Retinol (0.25%): A vitamin A derivative and antioxidant that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves texture and tone by strengthening skin, and increasing skin turnover. Retinol also targets blemish-prone skin by unclogging pores and enhances skin tone by reducing the appearance of discolouration. Encapsulated retinol allows for a slow release into the skin overnight minimizing side effects, so you can enjoy all the benefits of retinol with little to no irritation!

Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Along with keeping in moisture and boosting hydration, it also brightens skin, and increases tolerance to topical retinoids.

MATRIXYL™ Synthe'6™®: Derived from a peptide naturally found in collagen and laminins, MATRIXYL™ Synthe'6™ is a tripeptide that strengthens the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Tetrapeptide-14, Tea Extracts, Boswellia Serrate Extract, Honey: A peptide combined with the antioxidant properties of tea and the calming qualities of honey and boswellia.

Gluconolactone: A type of polyhydroxy acid that exfoliates more gently than an alpha hydroxy acid (e.g. glycolic and lactic acids). Gluconolactone is also a hydrating antioxidant ingredient with soothing properties.

Sodium Hyaluronate: A salt form of hyaluronic acid that hydrates by drawing water into the outer layers from deep within the skin. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making skin plumper, softer and smoother.

Aloe: Extracted from the aloe vera plant, soothing aloe contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

Glutathione: An antioxidant peptide produced naturally in our bodies, glutathione helps recycle other antioxidants. Glutathione levels decrease with age.

Questions, answered

Still unsure what fits your routine?

Ask your AlumierMD skincare professional

What is the best hydroquinone-free serum for hyperpigmentation?

AlumierMD’s approach to hyperpigmentation is built around high-efficacy alternatives to hydroquinone. Our formulations combine therapeutic-level actives including L-Ascorbic Acid USP, Kojic Acid, Licorice Root, and Emblica™ to target melanin synthesis across multiple stages of the pathway. The result is clinically visible brightening without the regulatory restrictions and long-term risks associated with hydroquinone, making our serums a medical-grade solution for all skin tones.

How does L-Ascorbic Acid help with dark spots and sun damage?

L-Ascorbic Acid is the most clinically substantiated brightening antioxidant available. At therapeutic concentrations, it inhibits tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin production, while simultaneously neutralising the free radicals generated by UV exposure, the primary environmental driver of new pigment formation. AlumierMD’s EverActive C&E® + Peptide delivers 15% L-Ascorbic Acid USP in a stabilised encapsulated format, ensuring this potent ingredient remains active and bioavailable at the point of use.

How does oxidative stress contribute to dark spots, and how do AlumierMD serums help?

UV exposure, pollution, and infrared radiation generate free radicals that can disrupt the skin’s natural homogeneity and stimulate melanin production, worsening the appearance of existing pigmentation and triggering new dark spots over time. AlumierMD serums provide multi-layered antioxidant protection to neutralise this oxidative burden, helping to slow the formation of new pigment irregularity. Paired with a daily AlumierMD broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen, our brightening serums form a complete defence and correction strategy.

Can brightening serums be used alongside retinol?

Yes, and for many skin types this combination produces superior results. Retinol accelerates cellular turnover, helping to lift hyperpigmentation to the surface, while brightening actives continue to suppress further melanin production. AlumierMD offers a tiered retinol range (0.25 to 1.0) to ensure safe, gradual introduction alongside your brightening serums. Professional guidance is recommended to determine the optimal layering sequence and frequency.

How do I order AlumierMD products?

To order AlumierMD products, you must link your account to one of our certified clinics during checkout. A prior consultation is not required to complete a purchase, but we strongly recommend one, a skincare professional can assess your skin and prescribe the precise actives, percentages, and frequencies needed for lasting results. For initial guidance, our Skincare Quiz offers tailored product suggestions.
