Clinical Details
The NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is a high-potency, multi-action concentrate designed to target the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, and the natural ageing process. This silky serum features a sophisticated blend of 12 active brighteners that work synergistically to break up existing dark spots and discourage the formation of new discoloration.
At the heart of the formula is patented NeoGlucosamine® (Acetyl Glucosamine), a non-acid amino sugar that gently exfoliates the skin's surface to fade the look of existing pigment. This is bolstered by Niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient clinically recognized for its ability to improve skin barrier function and even out skin tone. Research published in EuropePMC highlights the efficacy of Niacinamide as a versatile cosmeceutical for improving skin clarity and managing inflammatory responses.
To further enhance luminosity, the serum incorporates Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable form of Vitamin C, alongside B-Resorcinol and Liquorice Extract. These antioxidants provide critical protection against environmental aggressors. Clinical reviews on EuropePMC suggest that the concomitant use of antioxidant-rich dermo-cosmetic serums can significantly optimize skin quality and recovery when used alongside professional aesthetic procedures. For those with oily or congested skin, this serum pairs perfectly with the NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser to maintain a refined, clear complexion.
