February Product of the Month: A-Luminate Brightening Serum

Layla Shadman • February 17, 2025

Winter is prime season for facial peels. Before your peel, you want your skin to be at its pre-tan baseline and you should avoid post-peel sun exposure. With skin resurfacing procedures, like facial peels, we can address those fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and brown spots that developed earlier in the year. 


For optimal peel results, you should address hyperpigmentation with appropriate skincare before and after your peel. Alastin skincare has the perfect product for pigment prep. The A-Luminate Brightening Serum is the ideal product to address pigmentary concerns before and after skin resurfacing. 


A-Luminate is clinically proven to help minimize discoloration on the skin. This product uses a proprietary PATH-3 Technology to both minimize recurrence of pigment and protect against future damage. It also has tranexamic acid and niacinamide to correct current hyperpigmentation and support even skin tone. In addition to addressing pigment, it has powerful antioxidants to promote skin health. This is a hydroquinone and retinol free product that is safe to be used year-round.


A-Luminate Brightening Serum is designed to help support treatments like peels and lasers. If you have questions about this product or facial peels, call our office and setup a telephone consultation or in-office appointment with me, Layla, PA-C
