Illumine Serum visibly transforms dull, blemished, and discolored skin with consistent use, suitable for both topical use and microneedling to achieve more effective results.

Glutathione is a master anti oxidant that works in synergy with Vitamin C, and Kojic Acid, to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme to reduce pigmentation and even skin tone while aloe vera and Chamomile extracts keep the skin calm and balanced. 

Best For: For optimal use of the Illumine serum, use daily, morning and night. You should also incorporate microneedling weekly to enhance serum absorption. This cumulative approach targets deep within the basal layer of the skin while fortifying the skin’s defences against future sun damage.

  • Glutathione

    Glutathione, a powerful master antioxidant known for its skin-brightening properties, plays a key role in the Illumine Serum’s ability to treat discoloration and induce a blemish-free skin. Glutathione works by neutralising free radicals and inhibiting melanin production, which effectively reduces pigmentation and evening out skin tone while strengthening the skin’s defense against ongoing sun damage.

  • Kojic Acid

    Kojic acid, derived from rice and soy, is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and its ability to inhibit melanin production, effectively reducing discoloration and protecting the skin from future sun damage. When paired with the brightening and protective benefits of Glutathione and Vitamin C, the Illumine Serum becomes a highly effective solution for treating dull skin and discoloration and promoting a blemish free complexion.

  • Vitamin C

    Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and shields the skin from environmental damage. It enhances Glutathione’s ability to accelerate the skin's self-repair process and reduces the appearance of sun-induced blemishes, delivering a noticeable, instant glow. The combination of these antioxidants in the Illumine Serum boosts radiance and a more even complexion, making it an essential cornerstone of the Illumine Collection.

  • How to Use

    Morning Regime

    • After a thorough cleansing regime, apply the serum to dry skin.
    • Distribute the serum evenly to the face with your fingertips.
    • For enhanced sun protection, follow up with the Illumine BB Cream (SPF 30) or opt for the Illumine Moisturiser (SPF 50) during peak sun hours.

    Night Regime

    For enhanced penetration of serum, use a 540-needle derma roller with 0.5mm depth. This creates 540 precise micro-channels, facilitating the serum to effortlessly reach and address concerns localised in the basal layer, ensuring an even toned, luminous skin.

    Professional Use

    Treat pigmentation rooted in the damaged germinating layer:

    • Initiate the treatment by setting the Dermapen to a depth of 1.0mm, using gentle, circular motions, ensuring the skin is continuously saturated with the serum during the 5-7 minute microneedling session. 

    Avoid inducing excessive trauma or bleeding, as this can affect the serum's effectiveness and absorption to our target, the upper dermis.

    • For enhanced penetration, you can opt for either the cold hammer probe or for no-needle mesotherapy, using circular movements with device settings ranging between 5-6, aiming to further saturate the serum into the germinating layer. Allocate 4-5 minutes for this phase.
    • This synergistic approach ensures the serum is optimally absorbed, while also offering a tranquil relief post the rigour of microneedling, guaranteeing the skin feels soothed and radiant.

    Precautions

    If you have sensitive, allergy-prone skin, or intolerances to any skincare ingredients. (check the full ingredient list for this product). Always perform a patch test before use.

    Avoid applying the serum to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin, or if you have any contagious facial conditions that have the potential to spread.

  • Tip from Daksha

    Effectively addressing, particularly stubborn and deeply-seated ones, demands the consistent use of potent antioxidant-rich products. I recommend a rigorous homecare regime that focuses on saturating the skin with Illumine serums known for their ability to regenerate damaged melanocyte cells.

    In your evening routine, apply Illumine Stem Cells 2-3 times a week, with Derma Rollers on 0.5mm needle depth and in morning topically apply Illumine serum. This rigorous approach will combat persistent pigmentation and brighten a dull, darker skin tone. 

FAQs

Can I use the Illumine Serum even if I don't have any pigmentation or discolouration?

Absolutely! Even without apparent pigmentation or discoloration, the Illumine Serum offers benefits like skin brightening and protection against future pigmentary changes. Its blend of potent ingredients also aids in overall skin health and radiance.

What other products can I combine with Illumine Serum to improve my darker tone? 

To amplify the skin-brightening effects of the Illumine Serum, it's essential to use complementary products regularly and consistently. The products that work in synergy with the Illumine Serum in the Revival skincare range are the Illumine Peel, Clarify Peel Mask, Clarify Serum and Illumine Hydra Solution.

How often should I apply the Illumine Serum to improve my pigmentation?

To achieve any results on pigmentation and skin discoloration, it's essential to keep the skin consistently enriched with antioxidants daily and consistently, specifically glutathione and vitamin C. These not only treat existing discolorations but also fend off potential damage. 

Apply the Illumine Serum topically in the morning and with microneedling in the evening. However, using a full spectrum sunblock daily is also crucial.

Why is Illumine serum not recommended for melasma/chloasma?

The Illumine Serum is optimised to address surface-level pigmentation and discoloration. However, melasma/chloasma present deeper challenges, stemming from complex origins such as hormonal shifts, genetics, or UV damage. Given their intricate nature, this serum might not offer the specific targeted treatment needed for these conditions.

I’m not sure if I have Melasma or Chloasma. What's the difference?

Both melasma and chloasma are used interchangeably, and appear similar visibly. However, while melasma is caused by extreme sun exposure, chloasma is specifically related to pigmentation caused during pregnancy, hence known as the "mask of pregnancy".

Will the Illumine Serum improve my acne blemishes?

Certainly! The Illumine Serum is formulated to target and improve acne blemishes. For optimal results, apply it topically in the morning and couple it with microneedling sessions at night twice a week. With consistent use, you'll witness a marked reduction in blemishes and a more even-toned complexion.
