HOW TO USE

After cleansing your face, apply a moderate amount of the scrub to your skin, avoiding the eye area. Then continue with your nighttime routine. A temporary tingling sensation is normal, as is temporary redness. This effect will subside within 30 minutes after application of the product. Due to its medium intensity exfoliation effect, Lumion is not recommended for frequent use on extremely sensitive and thin skin, but it is recommended to apply it in moderate and conservative amounts once or twice a week. Also, don't forget to protect your skin with an SPF product during the day. Do not apply Lumion to damaged or compromised skin, or to skin with a vascular defect such as rosacea.

Do I already use Clarion, do I also need Lumion?

Compared to Clarion, which mainly acts within the pores and regulates inflammatory irregularities, Lumion is designed for superficial skin issues, primarily imperfections such as discoloration, and for skin showing the first signs of aging (tired skin, lacking healthy color, slightly altered tone, etc.). Skin suffering from chronic abnormalities like acne and comedones will benefit more from Clarion. Lumion, in turn, prefers normal to dry skin with uneven tone, and skin with early superficial wrinkles and enlarged pores due to collagen breakdown.

Can I use Lumion if it's the first time I'm trying an acid?

As long as you meet all the conditions to use Lumion (you have skin that is not very sensitive, skin that does not have vascular disease such as rosacea, and that is not damaged, injured, or compromised by previous treatments such as mechanical facial cleansing, laser treatments, etc.), you can use Lumion even if it is your first time using a product with acids. In this case, you will almost certainly experience a tingling sensation and temporary redness, as it is a medium-intensity exfoliation in a very acidic medium. You will see the exceptional effect literally after one use, but remember that in the initial phase Skintegra recommends using Lumion 2 times per week. To reduce the risk of irritation, immediately after Lumion you should not use any products containing irritants (strong perfumes, essential oils, and denatured alcohol) or additional products based on active ingredients such as AHA and BHA acids, transretinoic acid, or retinol.

Will I experience a purge phase when I start using an exfoliant?

Unless you have used acids until now and have areas with irregularities, there is a possibility that you will experience a purging phase during the first few weeks after starting to use a chemical exfoliant (just like with Clarion or topical retinoids). If you have recently been using acids or retinoids for at least 6 consecutive weeks, it is unlikely that you will experience the purging phase with Lumion.

Can I use Lumion as a Wash-Off product?

Yes, Lumion can be used as a wash-off mask. This is a good way to introduce exfoliation to skin sensitive to AHA acids. This means applying it to clean skin, leaving it on the face for 5-10 minutes, and then rinsing with water before continuing with the rest of the routine to neutralize the acid.
