Description
Our highest-strength retinol serum, powered by intelligent time-release technology and a bio-inspired botanical complex that boosts the effects of retinol, targeting deep lines, loss of firmness, and stubborn discolouration while supporting optimal skin tolerance.
IntelliRET™ 1.0+ is the most advanced step in the IntelliRET™ system, created for experienced retinol users seeking maximum corrective performance. With 1.0% retinol, it targets deep fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, stubborn discolouration, blemishes, and uneven texture. The bio-inspired botanical complex enhances the efficacy of retinol and improves skin tolerance, making this level of performance achievable without the barrier disruption traditionally associated with high-strength retinol.
At the core of its delivery system is cutting-edge microencapsulated retinol, which allows for a gradual, timed-release overnight, maximising efficacy while minimising irritation. The formula is further enriched with soothing and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate for visible results, delivered in comfort.
Recommended once your skin is comfortable with consistent use of IntelliRET™ 0.5+. Use as directed by your skincare professional.
IntelliRET™ 1.0+ is part of AlumierMD’s Core 4 Essentials, designed to target visible signs of ageing driven by Oxidative Ageing™ and support long-term skin resilience as part of a complete daily defence approach.
Contains Vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use.

Ingredients
Microencapsulated Retinol (1%): A vitamin A derivative and antioxidant that reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and improves texture and tone by strengthening skin, and increasing skin turnover. Retinol exfoliates to help decongest pores and reduce the look of discolouration, making it suitable for blemish-prone skin. Encapsulated retinol allows for a slow release into the skin overnight, minimising side effects, so you can enjoy all the benefits of retinol with little to no irritation.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Along with keeping in moisture and boosting hydration, it also increases tolerance to topical retinoids.
MATRIXYL® Synthe'6®: Derived from a peptide naturally found in collagen and laminins, this visibly supports skin structure and targets the look of stubborn wrinkles and skin firmness.
Tetrapeptide-14, Green Tea Extract, Boswellia Serrata Gum: A peptide combined with the antioxidant properties of green tea and the soothing qualities of boswellia.
Sodium Hyaluronate: A salt form of hyaluronic acid that hydrates by drawing water into the outer layers from within the skin. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making skin appear plumper, softer and smoother.
Full Ingredient List: WATER/AQUA/EAU, GLYCERIN, PROPANEDIOL, DIMETHICONE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, ISOSTEARYL ALCOHOL, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, NIACINAMIDE, RETINOL, BOSWELLIA SERRATA GUM, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, CHLORELLA VULGARIS EXTRACT, TETRAPEPTIDE-14, PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-38, HYDROXYPROPYL CYCLODEXTRIN, SODIUM HYALURONATE, HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID, LECITHIN, AMMONIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE/VP COPOLYMER, GLUCONOLACTONE, POLYSILICONE-11, POLYURETHANE CROSSPOLYMER-1, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, XANTHAN GUM, TOCOPHEROL, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, METHYLPROPANEDIOL, POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CALCIUM GLUCONATE, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, PHENYLPROPANOL, LACTIC ACID, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, SODIUM BENZOATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL.
Backed by Science
At 1.0% concentration, retinol drives a significantly accelerated rate of visible skin renewal, addressing the most advanced skin concerns, from deep structural changes in the appearance of skin to significant tone irregularities and blemishes. The clinical challenge at this concentration is not efficacy; it is maintaining the barrier integrity and skin comfort needed to sustain consistent use, which is what ultimately determines long-term outcomes.
IntelliRET™ 1.0+ applies the full IntelliRET™ system to this challenge. Microencapsulation controls the delivery rate of retinol at maximum concentration, attenuating the irritation peak without attenuating visible efficacy. The bio-inspired botanical booster (Chlorella vulgaris) provides a synergistic enhancement to visible renewal outcomes while simultaneously supporting a more balanced skin response, allowing skin to better adapt to and consistently tolerate the 1.0% concentration over time.
Niacinamide provides active barrier reinforcement throughout, while the Matrixyl® Synthe'6™ peptide and calming complex address the skin comfort and structural support requirements of sustained high-strength retinol use.
The result is a maximum-strength retinol formula that operates at the highest level of corrective performance achievable in a cosmetic retinol serum, supported by a system designed to make that performance sustainable, consistent, and clinically meaningful over time.

IntelliRET™ is a core pillar of the AlumierMD CORE 4 Essentials, a clinically grounded retinol system built for the realities of modern skin. Every IntelliRET™ formula is developed by a global team of scientists and medical professionals with over 100 years of combined industry experience, validated through independent clinical trials, and available exclusively through AlumierMD-authorised clinics and professionals in 12+ countries. Speak to your AlumierMD professional to find out which IntelliRET™ strength is right for your skin.
What makes IntelliRET™ different from other retinol serums?
IntelliRET™ combines microencapsulated retinol with a bio-inspired botanical complex. The encapsulation releases retinol gradually overnight, while the botanical complex boosts the effects of retinol and improves skin tolerance. The result is visible improvement in lines, texture and tone, with less of the dryness and irritation often associated with traditional retinol.
Which IntelliRET™ strength is right for me?
IntelliRET™ 0.3+ is the ideal starting point if you're new to retinol or have sensitive skin. IntelliRET™ 0.5+ suits established retinol users ready to step up their results, and IntelliRET™ 1.0+ is designed for experienced users seeking our most advanced performance. Building tolerance gradually is key, so we recommend speaking with your skincare professional, who can recommend the right strength for your skin and adjust it as your skin progresses.
How do I use IntelliRET™?
Apply a pea-sized amount to your face at night after cleansing, then follow with your favourite AlumierMD moisturiser. If you're not currently using a retinol, start once or twice a week and gradually increase to nightly as your skin adjusts. Avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids and mucous membranes, and always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
Can I use IntelliRET™ with other active ingredients like Vitamin C?
Yes. IntelliRET™ works well as part of a routine with other actives when used correctly. Many people use an antioxidant serum such as Vitamin C in the morning and IntelliRET™ in the evening, alongside daily sunscreen. Your skincare professional can help you build a personalised routine that layers your products for the best results.
Will IntelliRET™ cause irritation or purging?
Some initial dryness, sensitivity or temporary breakouts can happen as your skin adjusts to retinol. IntelliRET™'s time-release technology and bio-inspired botanical complex are designed to minimise these effects. Introduce it gradually, keep skin well hydrated, and speak with your skincare professional if you have any concerns.
