Also known as: Alumier MD
AlumierMD is a professional skincare brand offering homecare products and clinic peels. Its range includes cleansers, moisturisers, vitamin-C serums and retinol products, selected through a professional-linked retail model.

The range includes products for hydration and the appearance of ageing skin, chosen around a person's needs and tolerance. Its IntelliRET retinol product is not intended for pregnancy, breastfeeding or someone planning a pregnancy.
Evidence status
Manufacturer-supported
Named-formula human study; commercial involvement disclosed. A manufacturer-funded, consultant-authored study reported improvements with EverActive C&E + Peptide in 35 women over 56 days, without a comparator. Current product documents establish ingredients and exclusions, while other company outcome summaries provide less methodological detail. Findings belong to the studied formula and population, not automatically to every product or individual ingredient.

Clinical uses and the evidence behind them#
Facial photoageing: EverActive C&E + Peptide
Lintner, Gerstein and Solish studied the named serum in 35 Caucasian women aged 49–74, mean age 64, with actual Fitzpatrick II/III skin types. The study assessed the face over 56 days. It was funded by ALUMIER MD Laboratories, and all three authors were consultants for Alumier Labs.[4]A manufacturer-funded study authored by three Alumier consultants reported improved facial/periorbital appearance measurements and self-perception after 56 days with named EverActive C&E + Peptide in 35 Caucasian women aged 49–74, phototypes II/III.

The studied formulation combined 15% w/v L-ascorbic acid, tocopheryl acetate and 5 ppm palmitoyl tripeptide-38. Instrumental assessments reported improvements in periorbital surface roughness and facial colour measurements; participants also reported favourable changes in their skin’s appearance. The authors concluded positively about the combined serum.[4, 5]iThe 2020 formula contained 15% w/v L-ascorbic acid, tocopheryl acetate and 5 ppm palmitoyl tripeptide-38.

This was an open-label before/after study without a comparator. It therefore provides a measured human observation in that population, with uncertainty about how much change was due to the formula rather than other influences.

Selecting an AlumierMD product or treatment#
Identify a specific aim—such as a more comfortable moisturising routine or improvement in the appearance of photoaged skin—and match it to a particular formula. Consider the current routine, prior reactions, pregnancy status where relevant, and whether a professional procedure is actually indicated.[5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
For the vitamin-C serum, match the current formula to the named preparation evaluated in the study. For retinol and peels, follow the particular label and professional instructions rather than constructing a regimen from concentration numbers alone.[4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
The retail route is professional-linked, including online ordering. Because current product FAQs and general terms differ on whether a physical consultation is mandatory, check the current purchasing arrangements rather than promising a universal in-person requirement.[1, 5, 7]The brand uses professional-linked distribution, including online orders linked to a partner clinic.

Commonly misstated claims#
Combined-formula and individual-ingredient effects
Claim heard:“The EverActive trial proves that its vitamin C alone produced the result.”
Literature finding: The study tested vitamin C, vitamin E and a peptide together, without separate ingredient arms or a comparator.[4]A manufacturer-funded study authored by three Alumier consultants reported improved facial/periorbital appearance measurements and self-perception after 56 days with named EverActive C&E + Peptide in 35 Caucasian women aged 49–74, phototypes II/III.

Supported statement: It reports outcomes with a named combination serum; the contribution of each component was not isolated.
Maximum results and expected benefit
Claim heard:“An ‘up to’ result tells us the average improvement a client can expect.”
Literature finding:IntelliRET’s company page gives headline multipliers alongside an internal 24-person study description and results from 22 people over 28 days. It does not supply a complete comparator/methods report allowing those headlines to be interpreted as mean comparative effects.[6]iThe IntelliRET page describes an internal 24-person trial and results from 22 people over 28 days without a complete retrieved methods/comparator report; its 'up to' multipliers are not established mean comparative treatment effects.Inferred from adjacent evidence[6] AlumierMD UK.

Supported statement: A maximum or promotional multiplier is not a client-level forecast or an established average treatment advantage.
Professional positioning and product classification
Claim heard:“Medical-grade skincare is a separate medicinal approval.”
Literature finding: The brand uses professional/medical-grade positioning; the official GB and NI documents describe the applicable cosmetic duties and product-claim responsibilities.[3, 10, 11]iGB and NI have distinct cosmetic regulatory frameworks and responsible-person/safety/notification/claims obligations.

Areas of remaining uncertainty#
- How well do the serum findings generalise? Broader populations and comparative studies would help a practitioner judge likely benefit beyond the women in the 56-day study.[4]A manufacturer-funded study authored by three Alumier consultants reported improved facial/periorbital appearance measurements and self-perception after 56 days with named EverActive C&E + Peptide in 35 Caucasian women aged 49–74, phototypes II/III.

- Which change is meaningful to the client?
