  • Plant Stem Cells/Peptides

    Plant Stem Cells and Peptides in this serum are selected for their ability to repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. Copper Tripeptide-1 reduces inflammation. Peptides like Hexapeptide-5, Hexapeptide-9, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 work together to enhance skin texture. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Tetrapeptide-30 help fade blemishes and even out skin tone.

  • Niacinamide

    Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 derived, works in synergy with Glutathione to brighten dull, uneven skin tones while delivering antioxidant-rich vitamins that strengthen the skin’s barrier and protect against environmental stressors. Niacinamide also helps regulate sebum production, reduce redness and enhance overall skin tone, leaving the complexion visibly healthier, and balanced.

  • Glutathione

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

  • How to Use

    Night or Professional Regime

    1. Prepare Your Skin: remove all makeup with the Ageless Cleanser and deeply cleanse the skin.
    2. Follow up by applying the Illumine Hydra Solution to eliminate any residual cleanser and wash off.
    3. Microneedling: dispense the Ilumine Stem Cells serum onto your fingertips and apply evenly across your skin.
    4. Use a professional Derma Roller, equipped with 540 needles at 0.5mm. Gently microneedle for 5 minutes, aiming for the damaged melanocyte cells in the basal layer of the skin, not the dermis. Massage the residue of the serum into the skin. 
    5. Finish with the Ageless Moisturiser.

    For Best Results

    Microneedling with Stem Cells can be carried out twice a week, and on the other days Illumine serum can be applied topically.

    Ensure the needling isn't carried out excessively or too deeply.

    This is a professional serum for microneedling and not topical use.

    Precautions

    If you have sensitive, allergy-prone skin or intolerances to any skincare ingredients please 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. Also do not use this product If you have any contagious facial conditions that have the potential to spread.

    Aftercare Advice

    To maximise the effectiveness of the Illumine Stem Cells serum, avoid integrating products loaded with mineral oil, lanolin, or alcohol into your regime. These ingredients can disrupt the skin's natural acid mantle and alter its pH, potentially compromising the serum's absorption and performance.

  • 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.

    Call to Action

FAQs

What sets a microneedling serum apart from a stem cell serum? 

Microneedling serums, with their lightweight consistency and smaller molecular structure, are ideal for both topical application and absorption into the dermis. On the other hand, the Illumine Stem Cells serum is formulated with a denser consistency and larger molecules, to ensure they work in the optimal depth within the epidermal layer. 

Why is the Illumine Stem Cells serum only formulated for microneedling? 

The Illumine Stem Cell serum is specifically formulated with a thicker consistency and a larger molecular structure to only target the germinating layer of the skin with precision. This is because the primary regenerative action of stem cells occurs within this layer, rather than the dermis.

Why shouldn't the Illumine Stem Cells serum be used topically? 

The Illumine Stem cells serum has a thicker consistency and a large molecule formulation, therefore applying it topically will not harness its full benefits. Skin concerns are embedded in the germinating layer of the skin, which will not be reached without the help of microneedling. 

How often should I use the serum for optimal results?

For best results, it's recommended to incorporate the serum into your skincare regime 2-3 times a week in the evening.

Are there any side effects associated with this serum?

The Illumine Stem Cells serum is designed to be gentle yet effective. However, as with all skincare products, individual reactions can vary. If you notice any irritation, redness, or discomfort, discontinue use and consult with our skincare therapist.

Why is it not recommended to use a topical anaesthetic with microneedling with stem cells

Needling at a superficial depth ensures minimal discomfort during the process. Additionally, while topical anaesthetic might offer relief, they can drive the skin's natural nutrients deeper, potentially diminishing their beneficial effects during the treatment. It is essential to maximise these inherent benefits for optimal results.
