Write A ReviewSun damage is a major reason for skin discolorations. These may also appear naturally as a result of pregnancy, aging, or hormone changes. Whatever their cause, Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream was created to treat these discolorations, without causing further damage to the complexion.
The company claims that the product uses an advanced brightening formula, which limits the body’s production of melanin, the compound that makes skin darker, and which can cause discolorations.
The goal is to end up with brighter skin, with fewer or less noticeable dark spots, a more even skin tone, and an overall appearance that is more youthful.
The product is intended for daily use, and says that it will not cause itching, flaking, or irritation.
Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream Overview
Many skin lightening products contain hydroquinone, a chemical compound that can cause flaking, itching skin in some people. Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream does not contain this, so it should be gentler for the skin than some other products.
Instead, the company claims that this product works because of its revolutionary peptide technology, which is able to reduce the production of melanin by 40 percent.
Since melanin is responsible for darkening the skin, reducing it can lower the discoloration of dark spots, whether due to sun damage, melasma, or age.
Studies claim that most people who use this cream have seen some improvements in their skin tone after using it for 8 to 10 weeks.
The cream says that it is ideal for people with sensitive skin, due to its non-irritating and non-toxic components.
Main Ingredients
The lightening properties of this skin cream come from a natural component found in licorice root extract, which is also known to be helpful for atopic dermatitis.
Another compound, phenylethyl resorcinol (marketed as SynWhite 377) is partially derived from the bark of Scotch pine trees, which contain some natural lightening compounds. Some studies claim that this chemical works to brighten the complexion, and harmful side effects were not observed.
People have also claimed that allantoin can stimulate healthy skin growth with a keratolytic effect and that it has beneficial anti-inflammatory properties, too.
As a moisturizing cream, this product contains a variety of humectants and emollients, which include:
- Glycerin
- sodium PCA
- caprylic / capric triglycerides
- cetearyl alcohol
- pentylene glycol
Sodium hyaluronate is also included, which is supposed to penetrate deep into the skin, providing moisture to the spaces between connective fibers in the skin.
A relatively new compound, bis-ethoxydiglycol cyclohexane 1,4-dicarboxylate, is also included to condition the skin.
Complete list of ingredients: Water (Aqua/Eau), Pentylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 4-Dicarboxylate, Glycerin, Bis-Ethoxydiglycol Cyclohexane 1, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Decapeptide-12, Cetyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Sclerotium Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Dicetyl Phosphate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Aminomethyl Propanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol.

FAQ’s
Is Lumixyl is Effective for All Skin Types?
Yes. The manufacturers claim the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream is suitable for all types of skin. They also mention it is safe for prolong use. That can’t be true as lightening cream can have severe side effects, particularly if they’re being used long term.
Directions
Apply the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream on the dry, clean skin in the morning and at night. Avoid the delicate area close to the eyes. The manufacturers advise us to use the cream with a sunscreen with an SPF of 30. If you’re not using the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream with sunscreen your hyperpigmentation problems can aggravate.
Final Verdict
The Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream uses revolutionary peptide technology, which the company claims lets it reduce the appearance of darkened skin spots due to sun damage, age, or other causes. The cream works to provide a more even skin tone, and brighten the complexion. It avoids use of the dangerous and irritating compound hydroquinone, which has been linked to cancer. The product is definitely not inexpensive, but it is much less costly than using a cosmetic procedure to attain similar results. Customers are advised to consult a dermatologist before starting to use the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream.
Skin Brighteners aid in reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation revealing even skin tone. Skin brighteners also can help revitalize tired and dull skin resulting in a youthful, healthy glow.
