Reviews

Great product !

"Definitely improve the appearance of wrinkles and my skin is just glowing"

— Jeanette H. (5/5)

Seems to make a difference!

"Had no problems with using this nearly every night followed by moisturiser. Skin looks smoother."

— helena M. (4/5)

Best Retinol out there!

"Thus has to be the best retinol out there! I have used about 5 different ones over the years and this by far gives the best results, doesn’t irritate and i get so many compliments on my 55 year old skin. I would recommend all the Allumier MD products, they work! Thanks 🙏"

— Lisa D. (5/5)

Great product, disappointing delivery

"The push-top which delivers the serum broke off after the first use. I am now having to use my finger nails to push down on the small delivery button to get the (very expensive!) serum out. Very disappointing."

— Kim Q. (3/5)

Great Serum

"I love this serum. It goes on beautifully and does not block my large pores at all. My skin feels great."

— Penny R. (5/5)

Not for me yet.

"I love retinol serums but this one made my face itch. I’m wondering if I moved up to 1% too soon so don’t let that put you off because I was fine with the lower percentages."

— Jane C. (3/5)

Retinol

"Great product - ensures a glowing skin over time. Needs to be applied quickly though otherwise leaves a surface residue unless added to a small amount of moisturiser."

— Michelle B. (5/5)

I can’t be without this

"I have been using this for a few years now. When I don’t use it for a while, I notice the difference. !! I use it 2/3 a week then let my skin rejuvenate for the next week. My skin really does glow after."

— Jessica W. (5/5)

Works wonders

"I started using illumiere retinol (. 25) a few years ago and I've gradually increased, now on 1%. In terms of beauty products, I only select a couple, with my budget in mind. However, this product has been smashing it for my 59 year old skin. . it deals with fine lines, but the thing I love most, is the glow I have. As you age, your skin gets a 'grey ish' pallor due to the cell turnover slowing. . retinol changed that and now, even without makeup, my skin looks fresher, more dewy. I must add that using a 50 factor day cream has also helped. Id highly recommend professional retinol :-)"

— Sally T. (5/5)

So far so good. Minimal

"So far so good. Minimal redness and dryness, although not used it every night, probably 3-4 nights a week. I hope by the time I finish the bottle that I will be awarding it 5 stars"

— Julie O. (4/5)
