Overview

Lumedia is a “facial brightener” that claims to offer cosmetic benefits by incorporating unique ingredients that aim to even out complexions. This “100 percent hydroquinone-free blend of pigment-lightening agents” was created by Bremenn Research Labs and endeavors to minimize age spots, reduce discoloration, balance skin tone and provide a “baby-like” complexion. Lumedia is geared toward women from age 30 and up. Like many new-age skin care treatments, Lumedia was developed to be an anti-aging cosmetic, and possibly offer an alternative to more expensive/painful procedures.

While Lumedia does not appear to provide a “miracle” active ingredient on their official website, they do claim to assist users with achieving younger, brighter and healthier complexions. This company pitches a long spiel about how skin dramatically changes after the age of 30. Apparently it becomes duller, less radiant and more afflicted by fine lines and dark patches. Lumedia is a modern product that avows to have a potential solution to this redundant dilemma. This skin care treatment was said to be tested on participants in clinical trials, who saw results in 29 days after using Lumedia. The goal of this product is basically to aid users in attaining a younger and brighter complexion similar to what they had at a younger age.

Product Details

Lumedia is a “facial brightener.” This product makes claims to lighten facial skin and assist with uneven skin tones, freckles, age spots and dull complexions, in addition to minimizing discoloration. Lumedia does not appear to have an advertised “miracle component” in their exclusive facial treatment. This product is pitched primarily toward aging women.

Ingredients found in Lumedia are as listed: Water (Aqua), Polyvinyl Alcohol Crosspolymer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Glycerin, Saccharomyces/Xylinum Black Tea Ferment, Cyclomethicone, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, Stearyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Diacetyl Boldine, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Dimethiconol, Dimethyl Acrylamide/Acrylic Acid/Polystyrene/Ethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Ceteareth-20, Polydodecanamideaminium Triazadiphenylethenesulfonate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, and Fragrance.

The Good

  • The official Lumedia website offers the full product online.
  • Lumedia contains moisturizers.
  • The website provides a 1-800 number.

The Bad

  • The official Lumedia website offers no real medical studies proving that this product actually benefits the skin.
  • No customer testimonials are offered via the website.
  • Lumedia sells at $90 for three ounces.
  • Ingredients are absent from the website.
  • There’s no money-back guarantee on the website.

The Bottom Line

It’s obvious that little evidence is provided concerning the “facial brightener” known as Lumedia. This particular “wonder” cream creates more questions and concerns than it does answers to common skin dilemmas such as facial dullness, freckles and uneven skin tones. Since there is no documented proof that Lumedia is actually beneficial, consumers should be leery of the lack of testimonials, dermatologist testing, money-back guarantees and ingredient lists on their official website. At a whopping $90 a tube and considering the deluge of alternative cosmetics on the market, Lumedia is hardly an appealing facial treatment in this day and age.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
