Hyperpigmentation affects approximately 5 million people in the United States alone with a prevalence rate up to 40% in certain populations.

Chronic exposure to sunlight results in photoaging of the skin. Photoaging is clinically manifested as multiple adverse effects such as wrinkling, inelasticity and hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation is believed to result from changes in the melanocytes present in epidermal cells. Melanocytes, which are located at the base of the epidermis, lose their normal regulation process with aging and produce excess pigment. This excess production leads to the formation of dense perinuclear clumps of melanin in keratinocytes within the epidermis, resulting in areas of hyperpigmentation or "age spots".

Conditions which result in defective or missing tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the formation of melanin, lead to a loss of pigmentation. Tyrosinase is present within the melanosomes in epidermal melanocytes and catalyzes the committed step in the formation of melanin from tyrosine. Binding of an inhibitor to the active site of tyrosinase results in decreased melanin formation.

BRIGHT COMPLEXION CAPSULES - LUCENT is formulated with a powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acid and antioxidants to promote an even skin tone, as well as a glowing complexion. L-Glutathione, the key ingredient in our formulation reduces oxidative stress in the body to improve overall complexion, boosts collagen, resulting in lighter, brighter skin tone and reduces dark spots. Enriched with powerful antioxidants, N-AectylLCystiene (NAC), L-Ascorbic Acid and Alpha Lipoic

Acid (ALA) to improve the efficacy of Glutathione, as well as Zinc which helps protect cells in the body from damage caused by free radicals.

LUCENT's combination ingredients does not only promote an even skin tone but also fades age spots, melasma, hyper-pigmentation and reduces the appearance of fine lines. The combination of two powerful plant-based carotenoids, Lutein and Zeaxanthin (L/Z) filters high-energy blue light, protects against photoinduced oxidative damage and ultraviolet light (UVA & UVB).

Carotenoids, Lutein and Zeaxanthin filter blue light and protect skin from environmental factors including high-energy sources. These two powerful carotenoids may be able to block the formation of melanin pathways, decrease cytokines, and increase antioxidants.

Inhouse studies have shown the positive effect of LUCENT on reducing hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanocyte stimulating factors and protects from harmful blue light damage. Melanocytes are cells responsible for production of dark pigment, melanin. Higher levels of melanin lead to darkening of skin, pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Key Active Ingredients:

L-Glutathione - Aids in skin whitening by reducing the activity of Tyrosinase, (melanin bio synthesis) resulting in skin lightening. L-Glutathione not only whitens, but keeps skin looking young

N-Acetyl L Cysteine (NAC) - is a basic building block of the antioxidant glutathione. N Acetyl Cysteine may reduce the appearance of blemishes, age spots and even wrinkles. A great benefit to fight signs of ageing and to give skin a natural glow.

L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - A natural antioxidant aiding in the absorption of Glutathione, reduces melanin formation and provides a skin whitening effect. It assists in slowing down hyperactive melanocytes and thus resulting in lighter skin.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) - ("The Universal Antioxidant") - Alpha Lipoic Acid is soluble both in water and in fat which is 400 times stronger than Vitamins E and C combined. It lightens/brightens skin tones, reduces fine lines and promotes a beautiful complexion.

Zinc - Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces hyper-pigmentation, by suppressing Melanocyte stimulating factors.

Lutein - Lutein, an antioxidant extracted from Marigold, protects against harmful UV rays and blue light, as well as environmental factors including high-energy sources. It also increases skin hydration and elasticity of skin.

Zeaxanthin - Zeaxanthin filters blue light and blocks the formation of melanin pathways, decrease cytokines and increase antioxidants.

Biodermal Skin Tech believes healthy skin is achieved by supporting barrier function, calming inflammation, restoring hydration at a cellular level and targeting treatable skin conditions. Each product is expertly designed to perform to these requirements, while creating a pleasurable user experience.
