| Ingredients in Focus |
Lumedia relies very heavily on Hydroquinone to ease dark spots, which are also known as age spots. Hydroquinone is an element that has many industrial, as well as medical applications. In fact it has been used extensively as a reducing agent which is soluble in water, thereby making it a chief component of many photographic developers, in which it is used along with Metol. It is also used as raw material of herbicides, rubber antioxidants and dye stuffs.
However, in human medicine, it has been used in some topical solutions in order to help whiten skin, because it can help reduce the color of skin, but it is important to note that it has been banned in many countries, including France, due to fears that it may be a carcinogenic agent.

Those consumers who are considering using Lumedia may want to keep in mind that Hydroquinone also has some side effects associated with its use. The most common side effect is that users report experiencing burning, stinging, itching, redness, or irritation. This is definitely something to keep in mind when using this element on facial skin.
Some consumers also report that they are bit reticent about using an element on their face that has so many industrial uses. However, luckily for them there are many other elements available on the skin care market, which can help user’s address aging issues, but which are specifically created to address skin issues, such as Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline.

| Final Thoughts |
Consumers who are really wrestling with hyperpigmented age spots may find Lumedia to be a viable method to try to address this issue. However, Hydroquinone the active ingredient in Lumedia has many side effects associated with its use, so other consumers may not want to take the risk, especially since it is used on facial skin. Also we feel this formula will not help ease wrinkles or facial lines in users. Formulas that contain Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline have been shown to be far more effective.
Research studies conducted on Matrixyl 3000 found that it was extremely potent, so much so it reduced the density, volume and depth of wrinkle; while also increasing the skins collagen production, which directly affects the smoothness, softness and elasticity of skin. Argireline on the other hand has been shown to be extremely effective in addressing wrinkles that are caused by the contractions of facial muscles-especially those around the eyes.
