About Lumixyl™ Lumixyl™ is a revolutionary peptide technology developed by researchers at Stanford University to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including: **Age spots **Sun Spots **Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation **Uneven skin tone **Photodamage The LUMIXYL™ Brightening System is a revolutionary multi-faceted system that dramatically improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation tolerably and without the side effects associated with prescription Hydroquinone or retinoids. This professional skincare system builds on the success of the Lumixy™l Topical Brightening Creme introduced in 2009. FAQs  What is a peptide? A peptide is a chain of amino acids exactly like a protein, only shorter in length. It is non-chemical and derives its potency from naturally occurring amino acids. Is Lumixyl™ effective? Yes. Clinical and in vitro comparisons between Lumixyl™ and commonly used brightening agents have shown that Lumixyl™ is effective in improving the appearance of mild to moderate hyperpigmentation. How does Lumixyl™ compare to botanical agents for brightening? Most botanical brightening agents need to be used in high concentrations to yield results comparable to Lumixyl™. As a result, botanicals can be highly irritating, causing redness and increasing sensitivity to sunlight. Lumixyl™ has been shown to be non-irritating, non-allergenic and will not increase sensitivity to UV rays while achieving results at a low concentration of 0.01%. Are there published studies? Preliminary clinical data can be found in the August 2009 issue of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and we are currently initiating large confirmatory trials. The publication of the in vitro data in the Journal of Investigative Dermatolgoy is pending but the study can be accessed online ahead of publication through pubmed.

Can Lumixyl™ be used in combination with drugs such as retinoids or salicylic acid? We presently have no clinical data to suggest that Lumixyl cannot be used in combination with other actives. Because certain agents promote cell turn over, such as retinoids, your skin care professional may recommend using one in combination with Lumixyl™ in order to expedite your skin's cycle and the visible results you can acheive with Lumixyl™. We encourage our customers to contact us with their case studies and experiences in this regards. How quickly do clients get to the point where they are really "happy with their skin"? While it takes an average of 8 weeks, or the length of one typical skin cycle, for the average person to begin to see visible improvement in their skin, best results generally take 16 weeks. Results do vary according to genetics, skin photo-types and environmental factors. Speak to your skin care professional to get a better understanding of your skin's cycles and the role of exfoliation and cell turn over in expediting visible results with Lumixyl™. If Lumixyl™ is stopped, how quickly does the pigment return? Like any skin brightening regimen, the maintenance of de-pigmentation is variable. Because of the role UV exposure plays in hyperpigmentation (even on cloudy days), it is critical to apply a full spectrum SPF of at least 30 daily in order to optimally maintain results. Unlike many other brighteners, however, Lumixyl™ is safe for prolonged use and there is no need to take breaks from its use. How much Lumixyl™ should be applied each morning and night? Each application should be about the size of a pea. Lumixyl™ aids in regulating the excessive pigment on the surface of the skin- does it, or can it affect normal pigmentation? Lumixyl™ is thought to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme that signals the first two steps of the melanin synthetic pathway. Lumixyl™ therefore promotes a uniform expression of melanin to acheive a more even skin tone. Can Lumixyl™ be used on Fitzpatrick skin types III and above? Yes. The Lumixyl™ peptide has been clinically tested on females of Hispanic decent having Fitzpatrick Type IV phototypes. A manuscript containing these results has been recently submitted to the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and is currently under peer-review. Anecdotal evidence is also positive for Fitzpatrick skintypes V. What concentration of Lumixyl™ was used in clinical studies? A concentration of 0.01% of the Lumixyl™ peptide was observed to be safe and effective in improving the appearance of mild to moderate hyperpigmentation in clinical studies.

An innovation in skin brightening technology, the four products in the Lumixyl Brightening System work synergistically to target existing hyperpigmentation and to prevent its recurrence. For most clients these formulations can eliminate the need to use hydroquinone or its bi-products, which are controversial due to their potential side effects. Lumixyl products are proven to be powerful but gentle on skin.
