When your skin feels dry or uncomfortable, choosing skincare can feel complicated. Rather than adding several new products at once, start by looking at your cleanser, moisturiser and the products you already use.
This guide brings together information from our AlumierMD range and our AlumierMD FAQs to help you explore a routine focused on hydration and comfort. It is a starting point for choosing products, not a diagnosis or a personalised treatment plan.
Start with your skin’s needs
Our advice is to consider your skin type, concerns and current routine together. Skin that feels dry is not automatically suited to every rich moisturiser, and sensitive skin can react differently to individual ingredients.
If you are unsure what your skin needs, ask a qualified skincare professional before introducing new products or active ingredients.
Step 1: Choose a suitable cleanser
If your skin is also sensitive or redness-prone, AlumierMD SensiCalm Cleanser is an option to discuss. It is a pH-balanced cream cleanser designed for sensitive and redness-prone skin, with ceramides, niacinamide, aloe and allantoin.
The product directions recommend massaging 1–2 pumps onto damp skin morning and evening, then rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and always follow the instructions on your packaging.
Step 2: Explore moisturisers for hydration and comfort
HydraDew and HydraRich are both rich moisturisers in our AlumierMD range. You do not need to use both together. The right choice depends on your skin, your preferences and the rest of your routine.
AlumierMD HydraDew Moisturiser
HydraDew is designed to help skin feel hydrated, soft and comfortable. Its formula includes glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, shea butter and niacinamide, alongside peptides and antioxidants.
It is an option to explore when you want a rich moisturiser with hydration and a smoother-looking complexion in mind.
AlumierMD HydraRich Moisturiser
HydraRich is a rich daily moisturiser for skin that needs lasting hydration and comfort. Shea butter, squalane and jojoba oil help nourish and soften the skin, while hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid support hydration.
If you are deciding between the two, ask us for help choosing rather than assuming the richest-sounding name is automatically the best match.
How do I apply them?
The directions for both moisturisers recommend applying 1–2 pumps after cleansing and any serums, gently massaging into the face, neck and décolleté morning and evening. Avoid the eyes, eyelids and mucous membranes. Check your own packaging for current directions.
Step 3: Keep daytime sun protection in your routine
A moisturiser does not replace sunscreen unless it is specifically labelled for that purpose. Choose a suitable sunscreen and follow its application and reapplication directions. If you use retinol, our AlumierMD FAQs highlight the importance of sunscreen and limiting sun exposure.
Your AlumierMD questions answered
How do I choose products for my skin?
Start with your skin type, concerns and current routine. Check each product’s description, ingredients and directions. Speak to a qualified skincare professional if you are unsure which products or active ingredients to choose.
Is there an AlumierMD cleanser for sensitive skin?
SensiCalm is described as a pH-balanced cream cleanser designed for sensitive and redness-prone skin. However, no product is automatically suitable for everyone with sensitive skin. Check the full ingredient list, particularly if you have known allergies or sensitivities.
Where should I check ingredients?
Read the full list on your product packaging and the individual product page. Do not choose a formula from a single featured ingredient alone. If you have a known sensitivity, check before use and seek advice where needed.
Should I add retinol to my routine?
Retinol is not a compulsory starting step for a routine focused on dry-feeling skin. Our FAQs recommend speaking to a skincare professional before starting to confirm the appropriate product and strength. Directions differ between products, so do not apply instructions for one retinol to another.
What if my skin becomes irritated?
Do not keep adding products to try to cover up a reaction. Check the product’s cautions and seek professional advice. Our FAQs note that the Retinol Resurfacing Serum 0.25 caution advises discontinuing use and consulting a professional if irritation occurs.
