It addresses mild to moderate hyperpigmentation, including:

- Photodamage from sun exposure
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation caused by systemic disease or prescription medicines
Lumixyl is a safe and effective alternative to hydroquinone for skin lightening it is thought to work by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for the production of melanin in the skin. In fact, in vitro studies show that Lumixyl is 5.5 times more effective than hydroquinone at equidosage in the moderation of melanin.
Preliminary clinical study results are being evaluated in large confirmatory trials and demonstrate the peptide's ability to yield visible results in improving the appearance of melasma. Study participants included persons who had previously been unsuccessful following six month terms using a hydroquinone, retinol, steroid regimen but reported visible improvements with Lumixyl in as little as 8 weeks with a 50% improvement after 16 weeks.
In addition to its efficacy, Lumixyl is the only skin brightener to offer all of the following benefits in a single product:
Non-irritating or allergenic
Non-toxic
Safe for all skin types
Safe for prolonged use
Easily degraded by the skin
Will not increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun
Stabilized so that it will not lose potency or turn brown after opening
A luxurious, moisture-rich texture
Whatever your skin tone, Lumixyl works to uniformly even pigment on the surface of the skin and will not cause discolouration or hypopigmentation.
Lumixyl can be used alone or if directed by a doctor, to compliment other treatments such as tretinoin, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels to diminish dark spots, uneven pigmentation and improve overall skin tone.
