Lumina - 7 - Ultra Brightening (7 in 1 actives) Nano Precision Serum

A brightening serum is a powerful, lightweight skincare product that uses a high concentration of active ingredients to target common skin concerns like dullness, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Unlike regular moisturizers, it penetrates deeply to deliver potent actives, promoting a more radiant and even complexion.

Brightening serums work through several key mechanisms.
Melanin inhibition: Key ingredients like Vitamin C and niacinamide block the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots.
Exfoliation: Some serums contain gentle exfoliators like AHAs, which help remove dead skin cells and promote faster cell turnover to reveal fresher, brighter skin.
Antioxidant protection: Many serums include antioxidants that fight against free radicals from environmental stressors, which can contribute to pigmentation issues.

For optimal results, follow these steps in your routine:
Cleanse: Start with a clean face to maximize absorption.
Tone (Optional): Apply a toner to prep your skin.
Apply serum: Dispense 2–3 drops onto your fingertips and gently pat it onto your face and neck until it is fully absorbed.
Moisturize: Lock in the serum's benefits with a moisturizer.
Use sunscreen: In your morning routine, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, as some brightening ingredients increase sun sensitivity.

Most brightening serums are formulated for daily use, both morning and night. If the skin is sensitive or strong active ingredients are used, it might be best to start by using the serum every other day to allow the skin to adjust.

Brightening and whitening serums differ in their approach and results.
Brightening serums focus on restoring the skin's natural radiance by fading dark spots and evening out the skin tone. They aim to reveal the healthiest-looking skin, not change the original skin color.
Whitening serums are intended to lighten the overall skin tone, often using harsh bleaching agents like hydroquinone. They are considered ethically problematic and can carry greater risks.

Yes, sunscreen is essential when using a brightening serum. Many active ingredients, such as vitamin C and AHAs, can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Consistent daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen protects the skin from UV damage, which is a leading cause of the hyperpigmentation that the user is trying to treat.

Our brightening serum goes beyond surface-level effects with a multi-pronged approach. The Nano Bright Complex combines seven targeted actives to inhibit melanin production, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection. Multi-Molecular HA delivers comprehensive, multi-layered hydration for plumpness and a strengthened skin barrier. Finally, Ectoin creates a protective hydration shell that shields skin from environmental stressors. This unique combination offers a complete solution for brighter, healthier, and more resilient skin.

The Nano Bright Complex was formulated to address skin dullness and hyperpigmentation from multiple angles.

• Niacinamide improves the skin's barrier function, evens out skin tone, and reduces inflammation.
• Tranexamic Acid calms redness and targets pigmentation caused by UV exposure, making it effective against dark spots and melasma.
• Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection, fades dark spots, and boosts collagen production for a brighter, smoother complexion.
• Glutathione works as a powerful antioxidant to reduce hyperpigmentation and promote a more uniform skin tone.
• Resveratrol reduces inflammation and combats signs of aging by neutralizing free radicals.
• Gallic Acid protects the skin from damage, soothes irritation, and reduces melanin synthesis.
• PAD (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate) gently reduces hyperpigmentation, controls excess oil, and soothes sensitive skin.

Our serum uses multi-molecular HA, a blend of different molecular weights, instead of a single one.
Larger HA molecules stay on the surface to form a protective film that locks in moisture and strengthens the skin's barrier.
Smaller HA molecules penetrate deeper to deliver intense, lasting hydration and boost collagen production for reduced fine lines.
This comprehensive, multi-layered approach ensures your skin is hydrated from the surface to its deeper layers.

Ectoin is an extremolyte, a natural "anti-stress molecule" that forms a stable, protective hydration shell around skin cells. This shield defends skin from environmental aggressors, including UV radiation, pollution, and blue light exposure. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm redness and irritation.

Yes, this formula is designed to be gentle and effective for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It contains soothing ingredients like PAD and Ectoin, and the multi-molecular HA minimizes the risk of irritation sometimes associated with high concentrations of single-molecular-weight HA. We still recommend a patch test before full facial application.

Apply this serum to a clean, toned face in the morning and evening for best results. In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to maximize brightening effects and protect the skin.

While the benefits of hydration may be immediate, visible improvements in dark spots and overall skin tone will be gradual. Noticeable results can typically be expected after 8–12 weeks of consistent use.

Yes, this serum can be used with many other active ingredients. Niacinamide and Multi-Molecular HA pair well with many ingredients. However, when using strong actives, such as high-concentration retinol or exfoliating acids, alternating products between day and night is recommended to avoid potential irritation.
