Safety Information
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and rinse thoroughly with water if the serum gets into them. Daily broad spectrum sunscreen matters more than usual with a brightening routine, since sun exposure undoes the result. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Replace the cap after use, keep away from direct sunlight, and store out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient in the list — the formula contains lactoferrin, a milk-derived protein.
- The eye contour, which has its own formula in this line.
- Skin that is broken, peeling or sunburned — wait until it has settled.
- Use straight after a professional in-office treatment, unless your provider has said you can.
Frequently Asked Questions
Morning, evening, or both?
Both. One to two pumps on a clean face after your hydrating serum. In the morning, always finish with a broad spectrum sunscreen — without it, discoloration returns faster than the serum can improve it.
How is it different from C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum?
A-LUMINATE is the targeted one: tranexamic acid and PATH-3 Technology aimed at the look of dark spots and patches. C-RADICAL is the everyday antioxidant shield against pollution and light. They layer well, C-RADICAL first.
Does it contain hydroquinone or retinol?
No. Neither is in the formula, which is why it can be used twice daily and alongside other actives.
How long before I see a difference?
Discoloration is slow to shift. Use it consistently for eight to twelve weeks, with daily sunscreen, before judging the result.
Can I use it with a retinol?
Yes, though introduce them one at a time. Many people apply A-LUMINATE in the morning and their retinol in the evening while the skin adjusts.
