The Illumine Serum is enriched with antioxidants Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Kojic Acid and is expertly formulated to target the tyrosinase enzyme, the primary catalyst for melanin production. Inhibiting this enzyme ensures a significant reduction in hyperpigmentation and a brighter, more uniform complexion.

Applied topically, the Illumine Serum works diligently to even out skin tone to give the skin a luminous glow. Moreover, when used with microneedling, it penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, effectively addressing skin blemishes and pigmentation and leaving the skin clear and with an even tone.

Best For: Ideal for addressing hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, this serum’s potent skin brightening ingredients make it our top choice for revitalising dull, uneven tone skin.

Skin Concern: Dullness, Uneven skin tone, Pigmentation

Key Ingredients: Glutathione, Kojic Acid, Vitamin C

Naturally sourced ingredients. Vegan. Fragrance-free.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three essential amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamate. Naturally existing within our cells, it stands as a robust shield against oxidative skin harm. In our Illumine Serum, we've harmoniously blended Glutathione with Kojic acid, Vitamin C, and Niacinamide, amplifying its potency. This synergy unveils its deep skin-brightening properties, bestowing a luminous and even-toned skin.
Kojic Acid

Sourced from rice fermentation and select fungi, Kojic acid is celebrated for its exceptional skin-brightening capabilities. It stands out as an effective melanin inhibitor. Beyond merely reducing pigmentation, its gentle exfoliating properties work to unveil a rejuvenated skin layer, paving the way for a more radiant and refreshed complexion.
Vitamin C

Vitamin C, scientifically known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant. Essential for the synthesis of collagen and other compounds, it plays a pivotal role in skin health, wound healing, and protection against oxidative damage from free radicals and harmful UV radiation. In our Illumine Serum, it acts as a potent illuminator for dull and uneven skin tone.

How to Use
Full Ingredients
Tip from Daksha

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.

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.
