AlumierMD Vitamin Rich Smoother Serum | 30ml

Product Overview - AlumierMD Vitamin Rich Smoother. An unusual formulation: a waterless vitamin C serum in a silicone base, with no aqua anywhere in the ingredient list. That matters, because ascorbic acid — the pure, most-studied form of vitamin C — degrades in water. Suspending it in dimethicone and polysilicone-11 keeps it stable and, as a side effect, gives the product a genuine primer finish. Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) sits alongside it; AlumierMD state a 15% combined vitamin C and E blend. Suits all skin types, including sensitive.. Key Benefits at a Glance:. Immediate Benefits:. Instantly smooths the look of the skin surface, softening fine lines and pores. Doubles as a make-up primer — foundation goes on more evenly over it. No sting, unlike most water-based ascorbic acid serums. A soft-focus, velvety finish rather than a shine. Fragrance-free, and light enough to layer under anything. Long-Term Benefits:. Vitamin C works on two fronts: it neutralises the free radicals generated by UV and pollution before they damage collagen, and it is an essential cofactor for the enzymes that build new collagen. Neither is quick. Expect antioxidant protection from the first application but visible change in firmness and tone over three months or more. Vitamin E extends that protection — the two regenerate each other, so the pair lasts longer in the skin than either alone. The smoothing effect, by contrast, is cosmetic and immediate.. How will it feel on my Skin?. Silky and slightly slippery going on, like a primer, which is essentially what the silicone base makes it. It absorbs to a velvety, soft-focus finish with no tack. Because there is no water, there is no sting — the complaint people usually have about pure ascorbic acid serums does not apply here. A little goes a long way; one to two pumps covers face, neck and décolleté.. Who is it Suitable For?. All skin types, including sensitive skin that cannot tolerate water-based vitamin C. Anyone wanting antioxidant protection alongside a visible cosmetic smoothing. Skin showing early loss of firmness or fine lines. Those who wear make-up and want the primer step to do something useful. Contains soybean oil — not suitable if you have a soy allergy. Less suited to: anyone who dislikes silicone textures. Why choose Vitamin Rich Smoother?. Most vitamin C serums are water-based, which means the ascorbic acid starts degrading the day they are opened and often stings on application. Removing the water solves both problems at once, and the silicone base delivers a smoothing primer effect no aqueous serum can match. Pair it with Intellibright Complex if uneven tone is the main concern.
