Hydroxatone Luminique Facial Brightener
My mom gave me this to help with the many spots I have on my
face. I swear my face is like the moon with acne scars and sun spots,
and whatever else I have. I was worried, with the name, that it might
contain Hydroquinone a potentially harmful ingredient. Its not banned in
the US but it is banned in Europe and probably in other countries as
well. Luckily, looking at the ingredients list its not there! The main
website says its paraben free and no fragrance which is a plus. This has
not irritated me at all! The product size is pretty generous too.
Almost the size of a regular toothpaste tube so it will definitely last
for awhile even if using it twice daily.
The instructions say to use on targeted areas but I use it on my whole face. After a couple weeks it does show that it brightened my skin. However it doesn't really help with the spots it advertised to say it helps with. I have been using other products that helps with spots along with it which has definitely made better results than with just this. So if you have a number of spots from sun, aging, or blemishes I advise using at least 2 products to use at the same time. From my experience using one has not done enough. They must be gentle and none irritating. But just in case, put on a lotion or moisturizer you trust that will keep you moisturized so it help prevent any kind of irritation from the spot treatment products.
The problem I have with Luminique is that it balls up quite a bit. It also doesn't dry up completely clear. It can give you a very, very slight coverage. If you put on a generous amount on your face it may show up. So it doesn't adsorb completely into your skin. If you put on anything on top of it it might ball up and end up removing it off your skin. Although it doesn't always happen so it be good to not use to much to risk of it balling up. Otherwise, I think this product is great for brightening up the face if you have dull looking skin.
