Skintegra Lumion

In contrast to Clarion, which primarily acts inside the pore and regulates inflammation-type irregularities, Lumion is designed for surface skin problems, primarily spots, dyspigmentation, and for skin that notices the first signs of aging (tired, without healthy color, slightly impaired tone and radiance). Skin suffering from chronic irregularities such as acne and comedones will have a better effect with Clarion. Lumion, on the other hand, will prefer skins that are normal to dry, with an uneven tone; skin with the first shallow wrinkles and enlarged pores caused by the breakdown of collagen.

Provided that you meet all the conditions for using Lumion (skin that is not very sensitive, skin that does not have vascular diseases such as rosacea and that is not damaged - injured or compromised by previous treatments such as mechanical facial cleansing, laser treatments, etc.), you are free to use Lumion even if you are a complete beginner in using acids. In this case, you will almost certainly feel slight burning and temporary redness, because it is a medium-strength peeling in a very acidic medium, formulated without any buffers that would slow down the effect of acids. You will see an exceptional effect literally overnight, but do not forget that Skintegra strongly recommends that Lumion is not used more often than 2X a week in the initial phase. To reduce the risk of irritation, you should not use products that contain irritants such as intense perfume, essential oils and denatured alcohol, or additional products based on strong active ingredients such as AHA and BHA acids, and preparations with transretinoic acid or retinol, directly after Lumion.

If you have never used acids before, and you have parts of your face with irregularities, it is quite possible that at the first time of use (just like with Clarion or topical retinoids) you will experience a skin purging phase. If you have recently used acids or retinoids continuously for at least 6 weeks, you will probably not reach the stage of purging with Lumion.

Yes. In case you are very sensitive to AHA acids (the skin remains red and stings for more than half an hour), you can try Lumion in the form of contact therapy, at least until you get used to more consistent use. This means that you apply it to a clean face, leave it on for 5-10 minutes and then wash off before proceeding with the rest of your skincare to neutralize the acid.
