    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of discoloration does A-Luminate help with?
    It is formulated to reduce the look of surface pigmentation and uneven tone, while helping to limit its return and protect against future discoloration. It relies on a gentle, hydroquinone-free blend, so it can be a good option for those wanting a non-irritating brightener.
    How do I use it in my routine?
    Apply one to two pumps to clean skin in the morning and evening. In the morning, always follow with sunscreen, since sun protection is essential when you are treating pigmentation.
    What do niacinamide and tranexamic acid contribute?
    Niacinamide helps visibly even tone and support a healthy barrier, while tranexamic acid is well regarded for targeting stubborn discoloration. Together they address both the look of existing spots and the tendency for new ones to form.
    Is it gentle enough for sensitive skin?
    It is suitable for all skin types and was designed to be non-irritating, which is part of its appeal for those who find traditional brighteners harsh. As always, patch test first if your skin is easily reactive.
    How long until I notice a more even tone?
    Pigmentation responds gradually, so plan on consistent daily use over several weeks to a few months. Pairing it with diligent sun protection will help you see and keep your results.

    I just started to use it only been about three or four days. I haven't really noticed a difference yet other than my skin texture which is a little bit smoother. I will update when I use more consistently and have longer use. I'm hoping it helps to reduce or eliminate my melasma.
