1.How is this product different than my regular hand cream?
Lumiquin® is a hand treatment designed to be used once daily at night. To be effective, this product needs to be on the skin for several hours without hand washing. You can continue to use a regular hand cream during the day.
2.Which ingredients brighten skin and reduce the appearance of age spots?
There are several key ingredients that have been proven to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of age spots and melanin deposits, including a very pure form of Licorice Root Extract, and Diacetyl Boldine derived from the Chilean Boldo Tree. It also contains THDAscorbate, the most bioavailable form of Vitamin C.
3.What other ingredients help to improve the appearance of the hands?
Two powerful plant extracts have been shown to increase fat levels in the skin, giving the hands a plumper, more youthful appearance and minimizing the appearance of veins. Also, THD Ascorbate and a peptide combination stimulate collagen synthesis to thicken the skin.
4.Do I need to use a sunscreen on my hands during the day?
Yes. To protect the delicate skin on your hands from further damage, you should apply sunscreen every day.
5.Does this product contain hydroquinone?
Lumiquin® does not contain hydroquinone. The “quin” in Lumiquin® comes from Quinic Acid Esters, which are derived from the Resurrection Plant called Myrothamnus Flabellifolia that is native to the desert areas of South Africa. Quinic Acid Esters are powerful antioxidants that help the skin respond to stress and extreme climates.
6.Should I apply this product all over my hands?
For best results, it should be applied to the back of hands only. Lumiquin® was developed to reduce the appearance of age spots, provide a plumping effect to minimize the appearance of veins and enhance the skin’s moisture level.
7.How long will it take before I see results?
You will notice improvement within 3-4 weeks and a more noticeable difference within 8 -10 weeks. Continue use for optimum results.
