Using this scrub 2-3 times per week and my skin feels and looks better.
Have been using this product for many years. It’s refreshing, soothing and makes for good face appearance. Excellent product.
Great
I first started using Alumier products after seeking help for my acne from a skincare specialist. There is a notable different in the way that this sunscreen makes my skin look and feel versus any other brand of sunscreen (and I've tried many). This mineral sunsreen helps blur my pores, leaves me with a nice shine that isn't greasy, and it also helps keep my acne under control. Also, when I messed up my skin barrier a second time, this sunscreen was the only thing that helped soothe my skin. I absolutely love it, worth the money!
I love this moisturizer - it is the only one that keeps my skin moisturized during the Canadian winters when furnaces are on full blast.. it is equally effective with ACs on in summer. I have tried many top brands but this is my no.1 ho to.
Hydra rich had been part of my daily routine for several years and I’m very satisfied with the results - keeps my skin hydrated and supple.
Love the product. Use it daily. Do not use any shaving products. Keeps skin great
Love this moisturizer. I have oily skin and this is light and does not add to my problem.
If you’re new to skincare, this isn’t the kit for you (it says intense for a reason… but if you have somewhat conditioned skin; what a game changer!!
This kit has it all; hydrating cleansing, the best exfoliant (legit!) plus a daytime and nighttime product, not to mention the trusty Daily Power Defence (one of the best products in this line). The value you get in this kit for what you pay is WELL worth the $$.
This is truly a 5- Star product! One of the best eye serums I’ve ever used! It’s equal parts hydration AND anti-aging. It’s my go-to for an eye product. Worth the $$.
I ordered the omnilux face mask, which i received perfectly packed. The red light mask is a wonderful product, which I love a lot!
Thanks wedoskin, now I am your happy customer!
Excellent product and customer service
Alumier was Recommended by a dermatologist as my skin was severely dry. The whole system is great. I find the serum pricey but haven’t found another that works as well.
This moisturizer is light and makes your skin feel smooth without looking greasy. Love the free samples you get with your orders.
Fantastic cream! Makes my skin feel lovely and soft!! Will definitely keep buying it.
