Frequently asked questions
Which liquorice root product should I start with?
Which liquorice root product should I start with?
For brightening uneven tone and dark marks, start with AlumierMD Intellibright Complex Serum, where liquorice root extract sits alongside other brighteners to visibly even the complexion. Apply it morning and night after cleansing, before your moisturiser. Pair it with daily SPF, because liquorice brightens the look of pigment while sunscreen stops new marks forming.
How do I layer Intellibright with HA Intensifier?
How do I layer Intellibright with HA Intensifier?
Apply AlumierMD Intellibright Complex Serum first on clean skin, then layer SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan over the top to plump and hold moisture. The brightening serum targets tone while the hyaluronic serum smooths the look of fine lines, so there's no clash between them. Finish with moisturiser and, in the morning, SPF.
What does liquorice root do for the skin?
What does liquorice root do for the skin?
Liquorice root extract calms redness and interrupts excess pigment production, so it visibly brightens dull, uneven skin without the sting stronger brighteners cause. In Intellibright it drives the fading in the look of dark spots over 8 to 12 weeks. It's also an antioxidant, defending against the daylight exposure that deepens pigmentation.
Can liquorice root help the neck and chest?
Can liquorice root help the neck and chest?
Yes, AlumierMD Neck and Décolleté Firming Moisturiser Cream uses brightening actives to even the crepey, sun-exposed skin of the neck and chest. Sweep it upward each night from collarbone to jaw. Extend your facial brightening routine downward, since the neck shows uneven tone as clearly as the face.
Is liquorice root gentle on sensitive skin?
Is liquorice root gentle on sensitive skin?
Liquorice root is one of the gentlest brightening ingredients, calming rather than irritating, so Intellibright suits reactive skin that reacts to high-strength acids. If your skin feels dry, layer SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier underneath for extra hydration. Introduce it once daily, then build to twice as your skin settles.
