ALUMIER MD INTELLIRET BOOST PEEL

Editorial assistant, Connie Cooper tried the new Alumier MD IntelliRET Boost peel within a customised skin peel treatment, addressing breakout prone skin

I visited the Triyoga studio in Chelsea to try out the new Alumier MD IntelliRET Boost peel within a HyperCustomised Skin Peel treatment.

Alumier MD’s latest peel combines encapsulated retinol, 20% lactic acid, with a bio-inspired botanical booster to support retinoid performance, while maintaining barrier integrity and skin comfort, in a minimal downtime chemical peel.

The peel targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, texture irregularities, discolouration, dryness, barrier-impaired skin, early to advanced structural ageing.

THE EXPERIENCE

The treatment was with skin specialist, Gemma Clare. She went through the required medical and skin questionnaires before a consultation on my current skin concerns and problem areas.

Recently my skin has been congested and I was experiencing some hormonal acne.

The treatment began with a cleanse to remove any access makeup and buildup.

After cleansing, Gemma applied the Enzyme Retexturing Treatment, which uses fruit enzymes to gently digest dead skin cells and keratin, removing surface buildup, allowing the acids and ingredients to penetrate the skin effectively.

Following the skin preparation Gemma explained how the first peel, Radiant 20/10 Peel, would benefit my skin. Combining 20% salicylic acid + 10% lactic acid, this peel was ideal for my skin concerns as it is designed to unclog pores, reduce acne, and improve overall skin tone and texture.

Gemma regularly checked in to assess the comfort levels of the peel, which was comforting as this was my first peel. I experienced a gentle tingling sensation, and the IntelliRET Boost peel remained just as comfortable throughout the treatment.

After the two peels Gemma applied the Alumier MD Rescue Balm and Clear Shield Broad Spectrum SPF to moisturise and protect my skin from the UV.

I was given the post procedure recovery kit with small versions of the Rescue Balm, SPF and the Sensicalm cleanser to support the healing process and any peeling.

THE VERDICT

I left the studio with a lovely glow, which was noticeable the following day, and there was a difference in the breakouts around my chin the following morning.

Gemma explained that there might be some minor peeling as this was my first chemical peel, and after a few days I experienced some light peeling.

For breakout prone skin Gemma recommended a short course of peels alongside a personalised home-care prescription for best results.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

The customised skin peel offers practitioners a versatile treatment option that can be tailored to address a wide range of concerns. Its customisable nature allows practitioners to create personalised treatment plans, supporting a more consultative approach and enhancing patient satisfaction.

With minimal downtime, the peel is well suited to busy patients seeking visible skin rejuvenation without significant disruption to their daily routine.

The treatment encourages repeat appointments and long-term patient engagement. When combined with a personalised homecare prescription, practitioners can strengthen treatment outcomes while generating additional retail revenue through ongoing skincare sales.

Before
After

The inclusion of post-procedure support products helps reinforce patient compliance and confidence, while the visible glow and skin improvements seen after treatment create strong opportunities for patient referrals, testimonials and before and after content.

Gemma charges £210 for a single AlumierMD Hypercustomised Skin Peel and a programme of 6 treatments is £1,130.
