Nurse Luisa hand-picks five AlumierMD favourites that deliver real results for various skin concerns.
As the Clinical Director of Newcastle Skin Clinic, I’ve always believed in results-driven skincare that addresses a multitude of skin problems – from breakouts and pigmentation to fine lines and sensitivity. With the AlumierMD range now live on our Newcastle Skin Shop, I’m excited to share my top five handpicked AlumierMD products that have earned a place in my skin health toolkit. Each of these formulas is backed by clean science and clinical-strength actives and chosen for their ability to deliver visible improvements in skin quality. Whether you’re new to medical-grade skincare or just looking for trusted, effective solutions, these favorites cover all the bases for achieving healthy, radiant skin.
1. AlumierMD EverActive C&E + Peptide – Brightening Antioxidant Serum
AlumierMD EverActive C&E + Peptide is a powerhouse vitamin C serum that brightens and protects.
If I had to pick one morning must-have, EverActive C&E + Peptide would be it. This innovative serum contains one of the highest concentrations of pure L-ascorbic acid (15%) in a freshly activated formula. That means every use delivers potent vitamin C at its peak strength to boost radiance visibly and even out skin tone. It’s loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C + E to guard against environmental stressors (like UV and pollution) while a Matrixyl peptide supports collagen for firmer, smoother skin. I love how it brightens dull skin and fades pigmentation over time – perfect for tackling sun damage or dark spots – and its collagen-stimulating benefits help soften fine lines for a more youthful complexion. EverActive C&E’s formula is unique because you mix it fresh (ensuring maximum potency with each bottle), and it’s gentle enough for daily use without irritation. In short, this serum brightens, protects, and firms in one step, making it an ideal start to your morning routine.
Key benefits: Provides high-level antioxidant protection, boosts glow and elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. I often recommend EverActive C&E to anyone looking to step up their glow and safeguard their skin against premature aging.
2. AlumierMD Retinol Resurfacing Serum 1.0 – Advanced Renewal for Aging & Acne
A professional-grade retinol that refines skin texture, diminishes wrinkles, and clears blemishes with minimal irritation.
No results-driven regimen is complete without a high-quality retinol, and AlumierMD Retinol Resurfacing Serum 1.0 is my go-to for those ready to take their skin transformation to the next level. This potent nighttime serum features 1% encapsulated retinol in a slow-release delivery system. In plain English: it packs powerful wrinkle-fighting and skin-smoothing punch, but the encapsulation ensures a gentler, steady release to minimize irritation. Formulated with skin-soothers like niacinamide (vitamin B3), sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid), and antioxidants, it not only speeds up cell turnover for a smoother texture and more even tone, but also hydrates and calms the skin in the process.
This high-strength retinol targets multiple concerns at once – it softens fine lines and wrinkles, fades uneven pigmentation and sun damage, and even helps keep pores clear and breakouts at bay. Thanks to its microencapsulated technology, you get effective results with far less dryness or redness than traditional retinol formulas. I personally recommend this serum to clients who want a true “resurfacing” treatment at home – it’s like a reset for your skin, revealing a fresher, clearer, and firmer complexion over time. Just remember: start slow (2–3 nights a week) and always wear SPF during the day, as retinol makes your skin more sun-sensitive. With consistent use, Retinol Resurfacing 1.0 can yield remarkable improvements in skin smoothness and youthfulness.
Key benefits: Boosts cellular turnover for refined texture, reduces wrinkles and photodamage, improves clarity, and hydrates with added humectants to prevent irritation. This is professional-grade retinol done right – powerful on results, gentle on your skin’s barrier.
3. AlumierMD EvenTone Brightening Serum – Targeted Pigmentation Corrector
A hydroquinone-free brightening serum that fades dark spots and balances uneven skin tone for a clearer complexion.
Stubborn pigmentation and discoloration are common concerns I see, which is why EvenTone Brightening Serum is such a gem in the AlumierMD lineup. This cutting-edge serum is specifically designed to fade uneven skin tone, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like marks left from acne) – all without using hydroquinone. Instead, it harnesses an arsenal of gentler yet effective brighteners: arbutin and kojic acid (to inhibit pigment production), resorcinol and Emblica™ (to exfoliate and illuminate), plus niacinamide to further even out tone and strengthen the skin barrier.
The result is a formula that visibly reduces dark spots and boosts overall radiance with consistent use. I appreciate that EvenTone is suitable for all skin types – even sensitive or acne-prone skin – so nearly anyone struggling with pigmentation can use it safely. It layers well under other products and can be used morning or night (just be sure to wear SPF if using in the daytime, as with any brightening treatment). I often incorporate this serum into my clients’ routines when they’re seeking a clearer, more even complexion or dealing with melasma, sun spots, or lingering acne marks.
Key benefits: Diminishes the look of pigmentation and discoloration, brightens overall skin tone, and is formulated for long-term use without harsh bleaching agents. In short, EvenTone is a trustworthy skin brightener that delivers a more luminous, uniform glow with patience and regular use.
4. AlumierMD AHA Renewal Serum – Gentle Exfoliation for Glow
An 8% lactic acid serum that gently exfoliates to refine texture, unclog pores, and revive dull skin – all while hydrating to prevent irritation.
For anyone dealing with dullness, rough texture, or congestion (hello, breakouts and large pores!), my recommendation is to add AHA Renewal Serum into your evening routine. This clinically proven exfoliating serum uses 8% lactic acid – a mild alpha hydroxy acid – to sweep away dead skin cells and speed up cell turnover, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. Unlike many exfoliators, it’s formulated to be gentle: lactic acid is known for being effective yet hydrating, and here it’s paired with hyaluronic acid to keep skin moisturized and comfortable while it works. The dual action is fantastic – you get the resurfacing benefits (fresher, glowing skin) without that tight, dry feeling.
Ideal for dull, dry, or uneven skin types, AHA Renewal Serum helps soften fine lines, fade blotchiness, and even minimize the appearance of pores by clearing out debris and smoothing rough patches. I personally love this serum for those who want to enhance their glow gently – it’s a great starter exfoliant for people nervous about harsher acids, yet it’s still effective enough for experienced users to appreciate the results. I often say it “restores your glow” because after a few weeks of use, skin looks more radiant and makeup applies more seamlessly. Use it a few nights a week (and gradually build up to nightly as tolerated), and always follow with moisturizer and SPF by daynewcastleskinshop.com. Consistency is key, and over time you’ll notice brighter, smoother skin that reflects light better.
Key benefits: Gently exfoliates to refine skin texture and tone, brightens the complexion, hydrates with lactic acid and hyaluronic acid (so skin stays supple), and is non-sensitizing enough for regular usenewcastleskinshop.comnewcastleskinshop.com. This serum is like a mini at-home peel that keeps your skin polished and glowing year-round.
5. AlumierMD Ultimate Boost Serum – Hydration & Barrier Support
A silky hydrating serum packed with niacinamide, peptides, and antioxidants to plump the skin, strengthen its barrier, and smooth fine lines.
Last but not least, Ultimate Boost Serum is one of my top picks because every skin type needs hydration and repair, and this serum delivers both in spades. It’s a fast-absorbing, silky serum formulated with powerful peptides, niacinamide, and antioxidants – a combination that deeply hydrates while also targeting signs of aging and environmental damage. When applied, it immediately gives a surge of moisture without any heaviness, quenching dry or irritated skin and calming redness. Over time, the peptides and niacinamide work to strengthen the skin’s barrier, improve elasticity, and even out uneven tone, so your skin becomes more resilient and radiant.
I find Ultimate Boost especially useful for new skincare users and veterans alike: if you’re just starting out, it’s a gentle introduction to “active” skincare (niacinamide is a great all-rounder for calming inflammation, refining pores, and brightening) – and if you’re more advanced, it’s the perfect layering serum to keep skin hydrated under stronger treatments like retinol or acids. It plays well with others – you can use it under your moisturizer, mixed into other serums, or even under makeup for a dewy boost. Because it’s rich in antioxidants, it also gives daily protection against environmental stressors that can age the skin. In essence, Ultimate Boost Serum is my secret weapon for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and that youthful plumpness we all love. It’s suitable for virtually everyone, including those with dry, sensitive, or compromised skin in need of extra TLC.
Key benefits: Intensely hydrates and soothes dry or irritated skin, boosts the skin’s natural barrier and elasticity, softens fine lines and uneven tone, and provides antioxidant defense against daily damage. This is the kind of do-it-all serum that keeps your skin balanced, bouncy, and resilient no matter your skin concern.
