Stubborn dark spots and uneven skin tone? Meet your advanced brightening treatment! Marini SkinSolutions Luminate® XC is a powerful, non-hydroquinone face lotion designed to visibly reduce discoloration, hyperpigmentation and fine lines while promoting a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

This innovative formula combines a higher concentration of all-trans-retinol with targeted brightening ingredients including alpha-arbutin, nonapeptide-1, hexylresorcinol, turmeric and licorice root extract. Together, these ingredients help address multiple factors associated with uneven pigmentation while improving the appearance of skin texture and visible signs of aging.

In a published split-face clinical study, Marini Luminate® XC demonstrated improvements in hyperpigmentation compared with 4% hydroquinone, with favorable participant satisfaction. Individual results may vary.

Luminate XC is the higher-strength version of Marini Luminate and is best suited for experienced retinoid users who are already comfortable with stronger vitamin A treatments.

Begin with clean, dry skin. Apply one pump of Marini Luminate® XC sparingly over the entire face, avoiding the delicate eye area and lips.

Start by applying every other evening for the first 1–2 weeks. As your skin becomes accustomed to the formula, gradually increase frequency as tolerated and directed by your skincare professional.

The manufacturer permits increasing to once or twice daily as tolerated, but evening application is a sensible starting point for this higher-strength retinol treatment.

Follow with a hydrating moisturizer. During the day, always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher and reapply as directed.

Pro Tip: A little goes a long way! One pump is enough for the face. If you're experiencing dryness, redness or flaking, add extra days between applications rather than increasing the amount. Consistency and patience are key when treating stubborn discoloration.

Important: This product contains concentrated retinol and may cause temporary dryness, peeling or irritation. Avoid combining it with additional retinoids, strong exfoliating acids or irritating treatments unless recommended by your skincare professional.

Avoid retinoids during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Consult your healthcare provider before use while breastfeeding. Discontinue use and seek advice if significant irritation occurs.
