Let customers speak for us
I’m very pleased with my latest order from wedoskin.ca. I love AlumierMD
skin line and it was delivered remarkably fast. The sale prices made a significant difference as well!
This has been my go to cream for my face for a couple of years. It's perfect. It's not greasy, it smells pleasant, it's easy to apply and does not irritate my skin. During the deep Canadian winter, I switch this out for a richer cream.
Really lovely soft and creamy cleanser that made my skin feel soft and hydrated after use - no tight feeling.
Removed my sheer tinted make up easily and my skin felt clean and refreshed before using Alumier serum and moisturiser.
Moisturizing and thick - this is the best for my super dry skin!!
Fantastic product! My skin was so dry and flaky, and after using this product for a few days I noticed an amazing improvement. I highly recommend Alumier Ultimate Boost Serum!!
Love the product and the delivery service with this company. Fast delivery, website easy to use for my first time purchase.
I’m extremely happy with HydraDew, as it is very light and moisturizing without being greasy. I use Alumier’s cleanser, serum and tinted sunscreen
as well and my skin looks smooth and radiant! Love these products!
This whole line is amazing, but the anti-aging kit truly is magnificent! The skin polish is one of the best on the market and growth factor is a power-house product for anti-aging!
I have hyper-sensitive skin and this is the only cream sunscreen I've found that doesn't cause an allergic reaction on my face. It's expensive, but in my case it's definitely worth it.
The moisturizer goes on smoothly, use very little tint is perfectly light just a hint of glow blends easily ! SPF is just the right amount for me
My niece and I have been using this product for years and we love it. Excellent for acne prone skin
I love this product! It's easy to apply, leaves no white cast and makes my skin so soft!
I have dark circles genetically and this helps tremendously with decreasing darkness and appearance of bags.

Retinol Complex 1.0: Frequently Asked Questions
What does Retinol Complex 1.0 do?
It is a maximum-strength nighttime retinol that smooths wrinkles, refines texture, and improves tone by accelerating cell renewal.
Is 1.0% right for me?
It suits experienced retinol users whose skin is already conditioned with lower strengths; beginners should start at 0.25% or 0.5%.
How often should I use it?
Use it at night as tolerated, building gradually; reduce frequency if you notice dryness or irritation.
Will it irritate my skin?
At maximum strength it can cause dryness or flaking, so introduce it carefully and support the barrier with moisturiser.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.
