Frequently asked questions
Which retinol should I start with?
Which retinol should I start with?
If you're new to retinol, start with AlumierMD Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.25 or SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3%, three nights a week. Once your skin settles after three to four weeks, move up to the Resurfacing Serum 0.5, then the 1.0. This slow build smooths the look of fine lines without the flaking that comes from jumping straight to a high strength.
How do I apply retinol correctly?
How do I apply retinol correctly?
Apply retinol at night on dry skin after cleansing, using a pea-sized amount for the whole face. Wait two minutes, then seal with a moisturiser such as AlumierMD Neck and Décolleté Firming Moisturiser Cream or your usual night cream. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF the next morning, since retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive.
What's the difference between Crystal Retinal and the AlumierMD retinol serums?
What's the difference between Crystal Retinal and the AlumierMD retinol serums?
Medik8 Crystal Retinal uses retinaldehyde, which converts to active vitamin A in one step rather than two, so it visibly refines skin faster than classic retinol. AlumierMD IntelliRET 0.3+ pairs encapsulated retinol with soothing actives for a gentler introduction. Choose Crystal Retinal for speed, or IntelliRET and the Resurfacing Serums for a slower, buffered start.
Can I use these retinol products during pregnancy?
Can I use these retinol products during pregnancy?
Stop all retinol and vitamin A products during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including Crystal Retinal, Obagi Retinol 1.0 and the Resurfacing Serums. Swap to a hyaluronic acid or vitamin C serum for that period. We offer a free virtual consultation if you'd like help building a pregnancy-safe routine. For advice specific to your pregnancy, please contact us at hello@skintique.co.uk.
Is regular retinol serum safe around my eyes?
Is regular retinol serum safe around my eyes?
Standard retinol serums are too strong for the eye area, so use AlumierMD Retinol Eye Gel, which is formulated for that thinner skin. Dab a rice-grain amount along the orbital bone three nights a week to smooth the look of crêpey texture and fine lines. The Rejuvenating Eye Collection pairs it with complementary steps if you want a full eye routine.
