What is Lumitone HP Pro Brightening Serum?

This serum is designed to restore illumination and brightness to your skin, getting rid of red splotches and evening the skin tone. It uses a proprietary blend of 6 peptides and botanicals, all of which it says are “clinically tested” and “work to neutralize uneven skin tone.” An effective brightener would contain exfoliating ingredients or chemicals that would remove dead or darkened skin and promote the growth of new tissue. Peptides stimulate the growth of collagen, so if we see enough of those, in addition to other effective ingredients, we would recommend this product. We need to take a closer look at the ingredients.

Product Details:

This product’s blend of “6 peptides and botanicals” is actually one peptide and 5 plant extracts. One peptide is not enough to stimulate collagen production and improve the texture of the skin, and plant extracts are not able to permeate the epidermal layer, meaning that they are only superficially effective. They can moisturize the skin, but they cannot remove dead tissue or promote the production of new tissue. It also contains a paraben. Because it is a minor ingredient, it will probably not be too irritating, but parabens are cheap ingredients that bother the skin and can even cause bigger problems. We would recommend avoiding cosmetics that contain large amounts of parabens.

Conclusion

We would not recommend this product. We don’t think that it will irritate the skin, but we don’t think it will be effective as a skin brightener. It doesn’t contain exfoliating ingredients or any ingredients that are strong enough to renew the skin in any kind of significant way. If you are interested in improving skin tone, we would recommend looking into a chemical peel, and then using peptides to stimulate the growth of tissue.
