The spots and the skin around them

Your dermatologist treats the spots.
Who's taking care of the rest?

Decades of sun didn't land on one spot. It landed on the whole forearm, the backs of the hands, the chest and shoulders. That skin needs care too.

Checked, watched and treated by a professional

Checking and treating individual spots is medical care, and it matters. Nothing on this page replaces it.

  • Keep every skin check on the calendar.
  • See your dermatologist quickly about any spot that is new or changing.

Your two-minute routine

Dry, rough and depleted, every single day

Years of sun wear down the oils and antioxidants that keep skin smooth. Most body lotions are mostly water, which evaporates, and fragrance stings. A waterless oil stays on the skin.

  • Bakuchiol smooths the look of rough, uneven texture.
  • Sea buckthorn and vitamin C replenish and protect.
A 2019 randomized, double-blind study in the British Journal of Dermatology compared bakuchiol with retinol on sun-aged skin over 12 weeks. Both improved the look of wrinkles and pigmentation; the retinol group reported more scaling and stinging.
What's inside

Four hero actives.
Nothing hidden.

Every active is named, with what it's there to do. No vague "proprietary blend", no water to pad the bottle, no fragrance to make it smell expensive.

The SmootherBakuchiolPsoralea corylifolia

A plant-based retinol alternative from the babchi seed. Smooths the look of rough, uneven texture without the redness and peeling retinol can bring.

Why an oil, not a lotion

Built differently on purpose.

arlumia is skincare, not medicine. It works alongside your dermatologist's care.
