Frequently asked questions
Which product should I start with for uneven tone?
Which product should I start with for uneven tone?
Start with the AlumierMD Intellibright Complex Serum — it layers brightening actives to fade the look of dark spots and dullness across the whole face. Follow with the SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Moisturiser to even redness-linked patches and hold in hydration. The serum leads on discolouration; the moisturiser rounds out tone and comfort.
How do I build a brightening routine with these?
How do I build a brightening routine with these?
Cleanse, apply Intellibright Complex Serum to slightly damp skin morning and night, then seal with Phyto A+ Brightening Moisturiser. Always finish the morning with a broad-spectrum SPF, because arbutin-style brighteners lose ground fast against unprotected daylight. Give the pair eight to twelve weeks for a visibly more even tone.
What does alpha arbutin do for dark spots?
What does alpha arbutin do for dark spots?
Alpha arbutin is a gentle brightener that slows excess pigment forming, so it softens the look of sun spots and post-blemish marks without irritating the skin. That is why Intellibright suits people who find stronger acids too harsh. You get gradual, even-looking fading rather than a sudden change.
Is alpha arbutin gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Is alpha arbutin gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Yes — alpha arbutin is one of the calmer brighteners, and Intellibright is formulated to fade discolouration without the sting of hydroquinone-style actives. Redness-prone skin handles the Phyto A+ moisturiser well too. Patch test on the jaw for two days, then build to twice daily.
