Comfort Zone, is launching Luminant, an exclusive line formulated to correct and prevent dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Luminant uses Comfort Zone’s innovative 3-Bright Technology* that acts on the three stages of dark spot development, to guarantee triple results: prevention of new pigmentation, the correction of existing dark spots and an immediate illuminating effect.
These results are made possible thanks to the use of a combination of potent natural extracts and high-tech molecules, such as Zingiber and ginger extract.
A growing concern among consumers in relation to hyperpigmentation was the driving force behind the development of Luminant: “Formulating for different ages and ethnicities was the goal of Comfort Zone labs, ensuring dark spot correction and glow, coupled with exceptional skin safety and comfort in use” says R&D director, Eve Merinville.
“Hyperpigmentation occurs more frequently in women, due to an imbalance in hormones, which stimulates melanin production. Triggers include sun exposure, hormonal and lifestyle imbalances which lead to inflammation, as well as factors such as pregnancy and ageing” explains Dr Mariuccia Bucci, dermatologist and member of Comfort Zone’s scientific committee.
Expert formulation Working with Dr Simon Jackson, Comfort Zone botanist and pharmacognosist, the team – led by R&D director, Eve Merinville – developed products that protect microcirculation, counteract inflammation, exfoliate and illuminate, for immediate effects.
All products feature biomimetic sensorial textures, ensuring optimal absorption and skin comfort and enabling the multilayering of serum, cream and SPF without creating a greasy effect.
The new line consists of three products – Luminant Serum for the correction of all types of dark spots, Luminant Cream, to reduce the visibility of dark spots for immediate radiance and the lightweight Luminant Defense Fluid, that counteracts the formation of dark spots and protects skin from UVA/UVB rays and pollution.
The combined efficacy of Luminant Serum and Luminant Cream was tested by an independent laboratory, which recruited 30 women with different skin types and an assortment of age spots, sun spots, post-inflammatory spots and melasma.
Tests showed a reduction of dark spot visibility of 21 per cent after only 28 days.
