It gives skin a velvety soft matte finish, and leaves the skin looking and feeling soft and smooth. It can be used both during the day and night, and is perfect for combination to oily skin types. Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Shine Control has a faint, and non-cloying, citrus scent that fades soon upon application.

2) Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Dry Skin Cocktail ($23.99 for 1 oz. from Dermstore): This is essentially an oil-based serum that is intended for people with dry skin, but it works quite well for my combination skin. The antioxidant-rich moisturizing oils nourish the skin while the Lactic and Alpha Hydroxy Acids gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Skin is left soft, supple, hydrated, and silky smooth.

According to Lumene Finland,

Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Dry Skin Cocktail (formerly Vitamin C Plus Dry Skin Comfort Radiance Cocktail) deeply moisturizes even the driest of skin for a softer, suppler and more radiant complexion. Panthenol naturally hydrates as vitamin C promotes collagen production to smooth skin tone and texture while softening lines and wrinkles.

3) Lumene Time Freeze Ultra Firm Elixir ($29.99 for 1 oz. from Ulta): This peptide-rich formula is intended to smooth and lessen the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and to improve the overall texture of the skin. The antioxidant-rich formula protects and nourishes the skin, and was conceived to support the collagen and elastin synthesis that occurs naturally in the skin. Since I cannot report on whether my collagen and elastin synthesis is enhanced by the use of Time Freeze Ultra Firm Elixir, I can tell you that this serum leaves my skin delightfully soft, smooth, hydrated and my fine lines are softened.

According to Lumene Finland,

Lumene Time Freeze Ultra Firm Elixir, enriched with a peptide compound to visibly smooth wrinkles from beneath the surface and keep skin firm. Helps to improve skin quality by minimizing the appearance of pores. Refines skin texture leaving it silky soft. Pearly, illuminating pigments leave skin instantly more radiant.

Formulated with wild Arctic Lingonberry and Skin Messenger Molecules. Our patent-pending, Wild Arctic Lingongberry extract is 40 times more potent than the berry itself, which is already bursting with the natural antioxidant Quercetin. Our Skin Messenger Molecules work to support collagen and elastin synthesis. Together, they deliver visibly more youthful, firmed and lifted skin.

Apply to cleansed skin before day/night cream.

4) Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Beauty Drops ($23.99 for a 28 day supply from Ulta and Dermstore): This is one of my favorite products from Lumene because I almost immediately noticed a brightening and illuminating of my skin. Each jar contains a 28 day supply of capsules filled with a potent little potion. You simply remove the tip of the capsule and squeeze the contents into your hand, and then massage the serum into your face, neck and décolleté. It is applied like a serum, before your day or night cream, and it sinks in quickly and effortlessly. It brightens, hydrates, softens and smooths skin, and it imparts a natural glowing radiance. 

According to Lumene,

Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Beauty Drops (formerly Vitamin C Radiant Drops Beauty Capsules) brightens, smooths, softens and restores health to devitalized complexions. Arctic cloudberry seed oil protects and strengthens skin with omega acids. Vitamin C and lingonberry seed oil detoxify, boost collagen and impart a lasting radiant glow. 

Use one capsule a day over a 28-day period. Remove the tip of the capsule and squeeze the content on to your fingertips. Apply on cleansed face and neck before day or night cream. Avoid the sensitive skin around the eyes.

Precautions: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation develops, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children.

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Ascorbic Acid, Methyl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil, Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea Seed Oil, BHT, Solanum, Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Lipids, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, Parfum (Fragrance).

5) Lumene Vitamin C BB Cream SPF 20 in Medium 02 ($14.99 for 1.7 oz. from Ulta, Dermstore, Drugstore.com, Walgreens, and Target): I absolutely love the creamy texture, hydration and luminosity that this BB Cream imparts to the skin. It offers a semi-dewy finish, offers buildable coverage, though it is more sheer to medium in coverage by nature, and it feels really great on the skin. I love that it has an SPF, but since I use a SPF 30-40 I still use an additional sunscreen for added protection. Despite the fact that I have combination skin, I am able to get 8-10 hours of wear-time without much fading. My only issue is that Medium isn't a good match for my skin because it is too dark and warm, but Light appears to be a better match for me (though I don't yet have it).

According to Lumene Finland,

Discover the Power of Arctic Cloudberry. Lumene Vitamin C+ Illuminating Anti-Age BB Cream is a multi-benefit beauty product that works like skincare, but acts like lightweight makeup.

6) Lumene Time Freeze Instant Lift Serum ($22.99 for 1. 7 oz. from Ulta and Dermstore): This is one of those miracle serums that offers a temporary lift and firming effect that might have people asking whether you "had work done." It's one of those plastic surgeon in a bottle marvels of modern skincare that is really nice to use when you need a little extra lift and smoothing.

According to Lumene Finland,

Lumene Time Freeze Instant Lift Serum lifts and visibly firms the skin immediately after smoothing on! Arctic Lingonberry protects the skin's elastin fibers and plant proteins activate the skin's collagen production.

7) Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer ($19.99 for 1 oz. from Ulta and Dermstore): This is an effective skin mattifying pore minimizer that softens the appearance of fine lines and pores, while brightening and improving skin tone. It has a built-in shine control that makes it a perfect choice for oilier skin types. It boasts a velvety smooth texture that feels extraordinary on the skin, and it offers light hydration. My skin is often reactive when I use products with too many silicone-based ingredients at the top of the list, but I am pleased to say that my skin did not protest to this formula, and that I quite like it. This also doubles as a highly effective primer– therefore in addition to keeping your oily skin in check, it will also increase the wear-time of your finishing products.

8) Lumene Bright Now Visible Repair Day Cream SPF 15 Anti-Wrinkle (1.7 oz. for $29.99 for 1.7 oz. from Ulta): This is a rich, yet fast absorbing, cream that is very moisturizing to the skin. It plumps fine lines and leaves skin very soft, supple and luminous. While it is intended as a wrinkle cream, and I only have a few fine lines, I definitely saw a softening and lifting of them during use. 

According to Lumene Finland,

Lumene Bright Now Visible Repair Day Cream with wild Arctic Cloudberry Stem Cell Technology is formulated to: protect and maintain epidermal stem cell capacity for rejuvenated skin activity, boost natural hyaluronic acid production for smoother and less wrinkled skin, provide reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and brighten and protect with antioxidant-rich cloudberry nectar. 95% of women saw wrinkles reduced.
