FAQ

Q: How quickly will I see results with NEOSTRATA® Enlighten Illuminating Serum?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate visible improvements in skin brightness and tone within 4 weeks of twice-daily use as part of the Enlighten regimen. 97% of participants noted brighter, more luminous skin, whilst 93% saw improvement in the appearance of pigmentation within this timeframe. Optimal results are achieved with consistent use over 16 weeks, with continued improvement in stubborn pigmentation and overall skin radiance.

Q: Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, NEOSTRATA® Enlighten Illuminating Serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The formulation has been dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested. The patented NeoGlucosamine provides gentle exfoliation without the sun sensitivity associated with traditional Alpha Hydroxy Acids. However, we always recommend performing a patch test before first use and introducing the product gradually into your routine.

Q: What makes NeoGlucosamine different from other exfoliating ingredients?
A: NeoGlucosamine is a patented amino sugar developed by NEOSTRATA that provides gentle exfoliation to fade discolourations without increasing sun sensitivity, unlike traditional AHAs. It also serves as a building block for the skin's natural hyaluronic acid, helping to improve firmness and hydration whilst addressing pigmentation. This dual action makes it particularly effective and well-tolerated for long-term daily use.

Q: Should I use this serum in the morning, evening, or both?
A: For optimal results, apply the serum twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening after cleansing. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect against UV-induced pigmentation. The lightweight formula layers beautifully under moisturiser and sunscreen.

Q: Can I use this serum with other NEOSTRATA products or my existing skincare routine?
A: Yes, this serum integrates seamlessly into professional skincare regimens and layers well with other products. For maximum efficacy, use as part of the complete NEOSTRATA Enlighten regimen. It can also be combined with other NEOSTRATA treatments. Speak to our skincare experts for personalised guidance on building an effective routine tailored to your specific concerns.

Q: Will this serum work on all skin tones?
A: Absolutely. Clinical studies were conducted on ethnically diverse populations, demonstrating efficacy across all skin tones. The multi-targeted formula addresses seven pigment control systems, making it effective for various types of hyperpigmentation including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun-induced dark spots regardless of skin tone.

Q: Do I need to use sunscreen with this product?
A: Yes, daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential when using any brightening treatment. UV exposure is a primary cause of hyperpigmentation, and consistent sun protection prevents new dark spots from forming whilst allowing the serum to effectively address existing discolouration. We recommend NEOSTRATA Enlighten Skin Brightener SPF 35 as the perfect complement to this serum.
