Christina Illustrious Facial
What is it ?
The Illustrious Facial of Christina is a skin-brightening facial for flawless skin. The high-performance brightening depigmenting approach is designed to recapture the glowing luminosity of youthful skin and bring out a translucent radiance.
The Illustrious aims to control and reduce all phases and expressions of melanin production, it treats skin discolouration and pigmentation caused by hormonal changes, post-acne blemishes, environmental factors, constant exposure to UV and the natural process of ageing.
How does Illustrious work?
Tyrosinase Suppression Inhibits Melanin Production
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme, it catalyses melanin synthesis. Its suppression leads to the development of melanogenesis inhibitors.
Melanin Transfer Inhibition stops keratinocyte–melanocyte interactions
The Whitening Complex of Illustrious Facial is a new generation of safe brightening compounds for the reduction of pigmentation while the Niacinamide stops melanosomes transfer, promoting even, and uniform brightening.
Melanin Absorption from Upper Skin
Absorbs and discharges excessive melanin. Experiments proven there’s an improvement in spot colour after Illustrious Facial with the absorbing agent.
Melanin Degradation – Discoloration and Reduced Visibility of Pigmentation
The active ingredients Carbon C oxide complex which contains soft carbonate and pure vitamin C act as a brightening agent by triggering oxygen supply to the cells and promoting better blood circulation and maximise the penetration of the pure Vitamin C.
