Alumier means “to brighten” and one great way to brighten skin is to make sure that it’s hydrated. Oily and acne-prone skin types often have trouble with this because heavy moisturizers can cause more breakouts, but treatments for acne-prone skin can dry skin out. To help with that, AlumierMD has launched a new moisturizer called HydraClarite, specially formulated for oily skin.
The lotion comes in a pump bottle and is light and refreshing but still takes care of any dryness for an extended period of time. Plus, it’s full of antioxidants like Resveratrol, and peptides that improve the appearance of skin.
I love the lotion because although it’s hydrating, it has a satin, shine-free finish and it absorbs quickly so I can put sunscreen and makeup on top. There’s no pilling or additional greasiness and I don’t even have to powder my face afterwards, which is perfect. Best of all, it really does take away that tight feeling your skin can get after too many glycolic acids or peels, so that your skin feels comfortable all day.
