In an effort to maximize skin’s radiance, youthfulness and overall beauty, board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Joel Schlessinger introduces the latest addition to the LovelySkin LUXE line: LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel! This versatile exfoliating gel helps inhibit the formation of hyperpigmentation and correct existing dark spots. It can be used as an all-over treatment for the face or as a spot treatment on the hands, face and body.

This gentle, yet effective, product offers a new form of skin brightening with asafetida ferula, a celery derivative, along with amino acid filaggrin-based antioxidants. The antioxidant-rich gel takes a two-pronged approach to combating discoloration with high quality ingredients that both target the cause and visible effects of hyperpigmentation.

What is hyperpigmentation?

When stimulated by hormones, sun damage or irritation, melanosomes are produced at a higher rate. More melanosomes means more melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, which results in various types of hyperpigmentation such as melasma, dark spots and more.

Correct dark spots with AFA amino-based filaggrin antioxidants.

Powered by a blend of AFA amino-based filaggrin antioxidants, the LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel targets existing hyperpigmentation by effectively exfoliating the epidermis, restoring lost radiance and correcting uneven skin tone. Because the AFA amino-based filaggrin antioxidant blend is based on the body’s natural acidic amino acids responsible for retaining the skin’s moisture, this formula provides potent exfoliation without causing dryness or irritation associated with other common exfoliants like glycolic acid.

Avoid discoloration with Asafetida Extract.

The LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel utilizes Asafetida Extract to minimize the appearance of dark spots. Found in the root of the Ferula Foetida plant, part of the celery family, this ingredient reduces the activity of the tyrosinanse enzyme by blocking tyrosinase activity, the initial conversion step in the synthesis of melanin. In short, this powerful extract prevents the buildup of melanin that leads to hyperpigmentation!

Keep in mind, while Asafetida Extract helps prevent the formation of hyperpigmentation, it does not contain SPF and is not a sun protection product. For best results, incorporate the LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel into your evening regimen as the last step of any routine, and be sure to apply your favorite sunscreen every morning–and reapply throughout the day!

Is LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel right for me, and how does it work?

Thanks to its ability to exfoliate without increasing sensitivity, LovelySkin LUXE Brightening Gel is suitable for all skin types and colors. Along with the rest of the LovelySkin LUXE line, this formula is gluten-free, paraben-free, sodium lauryl sulfate-free, vegan and cruelty-free.

Each evening, gently apply the gel to clean, dry skin using circular motions until it’s completely absorbed. Since this formula is highly efficacious, a little goes a long way. When used as a spot treatment, use just enough to cover dark spots and the areas directly surrounding them. Do not apply any other product over the gel, and don’t forget to apply sunscreen every morning!
