The excellence that distinguishes Lumicor
Lumicor combines four patented ingredients at their highest concentrations: 5% high-bioavailability tranexamic acid, third-generation retinoid (2x more effective than standard retinol with 10x less irritation), and purified curcumin (equivalent efficacy to 4% hydroquinone, zero toxicity*).
Scientific alternative to Kligman formula
Lumicor replaces the problematic components of the traditional formula (toxic hydroquinone + irritating tretinoin + corticosteroids) with modern ingredients of equivalent efficacy but superior safety.
Proven clinical results: study on 54 volunteers, 12 weeks. Hyperpigmentation reduction 12-16%, tone improvement 100% subjects, 0% allergic reactions, <5% desquamation.

How does the triple scientific action work?
ANTI-MELANOGENESIS
Ultra-purified curcumin - directly inhibits tyrosinase (key enzyme). Efficacy equivalent to 4% hydroquinone, zero toxicity.
Niacinamide - Blocks melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes. Strengthens skin barrier +42% ceramides.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION
High-bioavailability tranexamic acid 5% - blocks inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, cytokines) that trigger melanin production. Reduces erythema by 13% in 12 weeks.
Complex of 4 natural ingredients - Reduces redness, discomfort and promotes hyperpigmentation reduction
CELLULAR RENEWAL
Advanced-generation retinoid - accelerates cell turnover to expel accumulated melanin. 2x more effective than retinol, 10x less irritating than tretinoin.
Stimulates type I and III collagen. Anti-aging bonus: wrinkle reduction 9.5%, texture improvement +18%.
For this reason, results and timeframes may vary from those indicated below: each improvement journey is personal and depends on the unique balance of your skin.
Clinical Results Timeline
Remember: Every skin is unique.
Hyperpigmentation is a broad concept influenced by numerous factors. External factors include exposure to UV rays and chronic skin damage; internal factors include skin phototype, hormonal variations, inflammatory processes, and even pregnancy, etc.
Indications
Ideal for:
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – after acne, dermatitis, trauma
- Solar lentigines – photoaging spots
- Diffuse discoloration – uneven tone
- Post-procedure – PIH prevention after laser, peels, microdermabrasion (wait 3-5 days)
- Erythema and redness – complementary anti-erythema action

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my skin peel?
No in most cases. Lumicor is formulated for optimal tolerability. Only 5% of users report mild desquamation vs 70-90% with traditional treatments. If you have extremely sensitive skin, start 3-4 times/week.
How long before seeing results?
Typical timeline:
- 2 weeks: smoother skin, reduced erythema
- 4-6 weeks: visible lightening of dark spots
- 8-12 weeks: 12-15% reduction in hyperpigmentation, maximum result
Results vary based on type and severity of hyperpigmentation. Deep melasma may require 3-6 months.
Can I use it in summer?
Yes, but with rigorous SPF 50. Lumicor can be used year-round. The critical element is daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Without SPF, hyperpigmentation can worsen even during treatment.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
No. Lumicor contains retinoid, contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor.
Can I use it after laser or peels?
Yes, it's highly recommended! Lumicor is ideal for preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after procedures. Wait 3-5 days (until complete re-epithelialization), then apply daily.
My melasma is very dark and stubborn. Will it work?
Lumicor can be used even with persistent dark spots, but requires time and consistency. In more severe cases, regular application may require 3-6 months to see visible improvement. Essential: daily protection with SPF 50. For particularly resistant discoloration, the product can be combined with medical procedures (laser, peels) under dermatologist supervision.
Lumicor's ingredients are formulated to reduce hyperpigmentation and can help improve the appearance of melasma. However, Lumicor has not undergone specific clinical studies on patients with melasma and, being a cosmetic and not a drug, does not list this condition among official indications.
How long can I use Lumicor?
Sicuro per uso prolungato (mesi/anni). Safe for long-term use (months/years). Unlike treatments with corticosteroids or hydroquinone, Lumicor does not cause dependency or side effects from chronic use. After achieving desired results, reduce to 3-4 times/week for maintenance.
Can I combine it with other products?
Yes, Lumicor integrates well into complex routines. Compatible with vitamin C (morning), azelaic acid, supplemental niacinamide. Avoid simultaneous use with: high-concentration AHA/BHA, benzoyl peroxide. If using other retinoids, discontinue them when starting Lumicor (to avoid overdose).
How long does a bottle last and what is the cost per treatment?
30ml bottle: 2-3 months of daily use (1-2 pea-sized amounts/application)
Cost for complete treatment (3 months): €65 (1 bottle)
Comparison: Melasma laser treatment €400-800/session (multiple sessions required), chemical peel €150-300/session
