IntelliRET 0.5+: Frequently Asked Questions

What is AlumierMD IntelliRET 0.5+?

An advanced 0.5% microencapsulated retinol serum, time-released overnight and boosted with a chlorella-derived botanical complex. It is the middle step of the IntelliRET pathway, for people who already use retinol comfortably.

Who should use 0.5+ instead of 0.3+?

Anyone whose skin is comfortable with nightly use of IntelliRET 0.3+ or another retinol and who wants more action on deeper lines, firmness and tone. Beginners start at 0.3+.

How often should I use it?

Two or three nights a week to begin, building to nightly as tolerated. Night only, followed by moisturizer, with SPF every morning.

Can sensitive skin use 0.5+?

AlumierMD does not recommend 0.5+ for highly reactive or redness-prone skin. Those skin types do better on 0.3+.

What replaced Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.5%?

IntelliRET 0.5+ is the new-generation equivalent: the same 0.5% encapsulated retinol strength, now with the botanical booster, Matrixyl Synthe'6 and a cleaner base.

When can I move to 1.0+?

AlumierMD recommends finishing at least one full tube of 0.5+ with comfortable nightly use before starting 1.0+.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. AlumierMD advises against use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant.
