Lumixyl™ is a non-toxic, non-irritating, synthetic peptide technology that is clinically shown to significantly improve the appearance of unwanted discoloration, age spots, sun spots and uneven skin tone.

Developed by dermatological researchers at Stanford University, Lumixyl's ground-breaking Decapeptide-12 is the only peptide shown to measurably aid the skin in restraining tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin, leading to uneven pigmentation and dark spots.

Studies show that Decapeptide-12 helps inhibit the production of melanin more efficaciously than hydroquinone - reducing melanin synthesis by as much as 40 percent compared to treatments with hydroquinone, which reduced production by only 7 percent in the same study. These results are one reason Lumixyl is considered by many to be the first real alternative to Hydroquinone.

The Power of this New System...

Now formulated with four highly innovative products that work synergistically to target existing hyperpigmentation and to prevent the occurrence of future hyperpigmentation

Powerful but amazingly gentle, the non-toxic ingredients yield visible results without the risks posed by current prescription and over-the-counter agents

Each product represents cutting-edge technology in its own category and is designed to maximize efficacy of the Lumixyl peptide (Decapeptide-12)

Lumixyl™ Glycopeel 20 (pictured below) and Glycopeel 10

Glycopeel helps to address the removal of old skin spots traped in the upper layers of the skin. Skin spots, or hyperpigmented areas of the skin, are simply where pockets of clustered melanin reside at or under the surface of the skin. Often these pockets will fade away on their own over time through the natural skin exfoliation process. But that does take some time – so a good hyperpigmentation therapy will include an exfoliant.
glycopeel20

Lumixyl™ Glycopeel 20 Rapid Exfoliating Lotion uses a clinical grade Glycolic Acid to help remove the dead layers of the stratum corneum where hyperpigmented cells can concentrate. This level of exfoliation also helps healthy skin function by stimulating the skin’s natural turnover process. Formulated specifically for use with the Lumixyl™ peptide, Glycopeel 20 synergistically works to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation by exfoliating older skin cells and hyperpigmentation trapped in the surface of the skin, and stimulating cellular turnover.

The new Lumixyl™ Glycopeel 10 Brightening Exfoliator is a gentle gel-lotion designed especially for normal to sensitive skin types. It produces even faster brightening results within the Lumixyl™ Topical Brightening System. GlycoPeel 10 also contains Bisabolol, an ingredient that soothes and calms irritation, ensuring that the most sensitive complexions will enjoy maximum tolerability and minimal irritation, even when used twice daily.
