Skin Brightening 101: Win a Lamelle Luminesce Hamper Valued at R2,450!
At Lamelle Research Laboratories, they believe the most beautiful skin colour is the one you were born with. Still, a quick scroll through social media reveals a frightening number of skin-lightening products abound. The idea of changing your natural skin tone is ludicrous. Also, many of the products promising to do it range from utterly ineffective to downright dangerous. Recently, a slew of countries has banned skin-lightening products containing mercury, while the FDA is continuously warning consumers not to purchase over-the-counter skin-lightening products containing hydroquinone due to the potential harm they could cause.
Brighten safely and brilliantly
Clearly, skin lightening is a murky, potentially dangerous pool to wade in. Brightening, however, is completely different and something Lamelle believes it does best, thanks to Luminesce by Lamelle Research Laboratories. According to Lamelle, the Luminesce range is the most technologically advanced hyperpigmentation program to date. The products in the range work to help regulate your skin’s melanin production to reveal your gorgeous, natural skin tone – free of the excessive pigmentation that can manifest as unwanted dark patches.
The culmination of years of expert research, Lamelle says Luminesce is trusted by customers and Dermatologists alike for its ability to deliver dramatic results. The brand credits a new active ingredient for this success, saying it now doubles the absorption rate of each product’s other active ingredients, dramatically improving their efficacy. What’s more, unlike many other skincare products that rely on just one or two ingredients, Lamelle says its Luminesce range contains a potent and proven arsenal to reduce the look of dark marks and boost your skin’s radiance quickly, safely and effectively.
A bouquet of benefits
Many things factor into the creation of unregulated melanin production, which is why Lamelle has opted to use a ‘mega-mix’ of medical-grade actives to create a multi-faceted solution. As an example, the Lamelle Luminesce range includes a triple complex peptide active blend that hinders the proteins that instruct your skin’s melanin factories to go into overdrive. This has then been bolstered with Arbutin to tamp down the creation of tyrosinase, an enzyme that can also overly excite your melanocytes.
According to Lamelle, another way we tackle pigmentation is on a DNA level, using groundbreaking DKK-1 gene technology. Studies have shown that melasma sufferers have a defect in a pigmentation-regulating protein called DKK-1. For the first time ever, Lamelle says its Luminesce range can support the role of DKK-1 gene signalling to safely regulate pigment-producing cells at a DNA level.
But, they didn’t just stop there. The Luminesce line also contains soothing anti-inflammatory antioxidants Niacinamide and Yarrow and Turmeric extract derivatives. Keeping your skin calm is important because, if not, it could hyper-react to any little perceived insult, be it an angry pimple or a sunburn. The resultant “trauma response” is the overproduction of melanin known as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
Lastly, Lamelle has also included a non-irritating retinoic acid in the Luminesce Evening Glow night lotion. According to Lamelle, this ingredient will not only help you reduce the look of wrinkles, but also speed up your skin’s cellular turnover to exfoliate superficial pigmentation on the surface of your skin.
An interesting aside
Want to turbo-boost your results? Don’t stop with just the Luminesce range. You can enhance your results with the Lamelle Correctives Brighter Serum and Brighter Concentrate. They both contain Decabutin, arbutin’s super powerful cousin. According to Lamelle, these ingredients are a whopping six times more effective at tamping down tyrosinase than hydroquinone, but without the potential of skin cell-damaging effects when used in the long term. Love that!
The bottom line
