AlumierMD AHA Renewal Serum | 30ml

Product Overview - AlumierMD AHA Renewal Serum. A leave-on exfoliating serum built on 8% lactic acid, which sits second in the ingredient list — this is a genuine resurfacing treatment, not a token acid. Lactic acid is the largest of the common AHAs, so it works nearer the surface and tends to suit skin that finds glycolic too sharp. AlumierMD buffer it with sodium hyaluronate, panthenol and allantoin so the skin holds onto water while the exfoliation happens. Suited to dull, uneven or rough-textured skin on any skin type.. Key Benefits at a Glance:. Immediate Benefits:. Skin feels smoother to the touch within the first two or three uses. Make-up and serums sit better once surface build-up has gone. A brief tingle on application that settles within a minute or two. Hydration is maintained rather than stripped — hyaluronic acid and panthenol are doing that job. Fragrance-free, with arnica and green tea to keep the formula calm. Long-Term Benefits:. Cell turnover slows with age, so dead cells sit on the surface longer and light scatters rather than reflects — which reads as dullness. Consistent exfoliation shortens that cycle. Expect visibly more even tone and texture over four to six weeks of twice- or thrice-weekly use, with fine lines appearing softer as the surface smooths. Lactic acid is also mildly humectant in its own right, so it does not leave skin as parched as a stronger AHA would.. How will it feel on my Skin?. A thin, water-light serum that absorbs in seconds and leaves nothing behind. Most people feel a distinct tingle for the first minute — that is expected with 8% acid and it should fade, not build. If it stings sharply or the skin flushes and stays red, you have gone too fast; drop back to once a week. Follow with a moisturiser. This is an evening product, and you should not layer it with a retinoid on the same night until you know how your skin handles each.. Who is it Suitable For?. Dull, rough or uneven-textured skin on any skin type. Anyone who has found glycolic acid too aggressive. Skin with visible congestion or a build-up of dead surface cells. Those wanting to improve how well the rest of their routine absorbs. Less suited to: actively irritated, broken or sunburnt skin, or anyone already using a nightly retinoid without a settled tolerance. Avoid if you have a known allergy to arnica or other Asteraceae-family plants. Why choose AHA Renewal Serum?. The closest alternative in the range is MicroDerm Polish, which exfoliates mechanically and rinses off. This is the chemical, leave-on route — it keeps working after application and reaches unevenly rather than only where you rub. If your skin is sensitive to physical scrubs but you still want the smoothing, this is the one to choose.
