Lumen C: A Liposomal Vitamin C Serum Designed for Pigmentation, Sensitivity and Dermal Repair

Vitamin C remains one of the most clinically valuable actives in professional skincare yet it is also one of the most commonly misused. Traditional ascorbic acid formulas often compromise barrier function, trigger inflammation, or exacerbate sensitivity, particularly in skins already affected by pigmentation, vascular instability or post-inflammatory damage.

Lumen-C was developed to address these limitations. It is a targeted antioxidant serum formulated for professional use, combining a trio of Vitamin C sources with liposomal delivery technology and phytoactive botanicals to support pigmentation control, collagen stimulation and barrier resilience, without irritation.

Why Vitamin C Delivery Matters in Clinical Skin

Vitamin C efficacy is not determined by concentration alone. For professional outcomes, stability, bioavailability and skin compatibility are critical.

Many conventional Vitamin C serums rely on high percentages of L-ascorbic acid at a low pH, which:

• Compromises the epidermal barrier

• Triggers erythema and reactivity

• Is poorly tolerated by sensitive or inflamed skin

• Degrades rapidly when exposed to air and light

Lumen-C uses a liposomally encapsulated, lipid-soluble Vitamin C system, allowing active ingredients to:

• Penetrate more effectively into the epidermis

• Remain stable within the formulation

• Deliver high antioxidant activity without acidic stress

• Support long-term skin health rather than short-term brightening

The Lumen C Formulation Philosophy

Lumen-C is not a single-active serum. It is a multi-pathway antioxidant and repair formulation designed to address pigmentation, photoageing and inflammatory triggers simultaneously.

A Potent Trio of Vitamin C Sources

At the core of Lumen-C is a powerhouse trio of C vitamins, working synergistically:

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) A lipid-soluble, stabilised form of Vitamin C that penetrates efficiently into the skin, supporting collagen synthesis, skin brightening and antioxidant defence. Present at a potency equivalent to 23% pure ascorbic acid.

• Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) An Australian native botanical naturally rich in Vitamin C and polyphenols, supporting pigmentation reduction and protection against oxidative stress.

• Quandong Extract A nutrient-dense desert fruit extract that enhances radiance, hydration and antioxidant protection.

Together, these Vitamin C sources provide high-performance antioxidant activity while remaining suitable for sensitive and compromised skins.

Advanced Liposomal Delivery: Strong Yet Gentle

Lumen-C utilises liposomal encapsulation, a delivery system that mimics the skin’s own lipid structures. This allows actives to be transported efficiently through the epidermis while minimising surface irritation.

Clinical advantages of liposomal delivery include:

• Enhanced penetration and bioavailability

• Reduced reactivity in sensitive skin types

• Improved consistency of results

• Better compatibility with professional treatment protocols

This makes Lumen-C particularly suitable for clinics treating pigmentation, redness, post-treatment recovery and barrier dysfunction.

Supporting Actives for Dermal Regeneration and Inflammation Control

Beyond Vitamin C, Lumen-C incorporates a carefully selected blend of botanicals, peptides and cellular actives to support dermal vitality and epidermal resilience.

Key supporting ingredients include:

• IBR-TCLC (Tomato Fruit Extract) provides antioxidant protection and supports skin tone clarity.

• Ribose enhances ATP production, improving cellular energy, tissue oxygenation and visible radiance.

• Peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) support collagen stimulation and skin firmness.

• Panthenol and Glycerin reinforce barrier function and hydration.

• Phytoactive extracts (Calendula, Nettle, Elderflower, Willowherb) reduce inflammatory triggers, calm redness and support microcirculation.

This formulation approach allows Lumen-C to address pigmentation, photoageing, sensitivity and vascular instability concurrently, a key requirement in professional skin correction.

Clinical Indications: When to Use Lumen C

Lumen-C is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types and is particularly beneficial for skin presenting with:

• UV-induced ageing and oxidative stress

• Pigmentation and uneven skin tone

• Redness and sensitivity

• Dull, fatigued or environmentally stressed skin

• Barrier dysregulation

• Early lines and wrinkles

It performs exceptionally well in skin recovery, brightening and long-term collagen support protocols, including pre- and post-energy-based treatments.

Professional Use and Protocol Integration

Lumen-C is designed to integrate seamlessly into professional treatment plans.

Application: After cleansing, apply 1 pump to the face and neck. Can be cocktailed with other Skindividual serums due to emulsifier compatibility. Follow with moisturiser and appropriate sun protection.

Use: AM and/or PM, depending on protocol and skin condition.

Lumen-C is also LED-compatible and can be used alongside photobiomodulation to enhance antioxidant protection and dermal repair.

A Vitamin C Serum Designed for Clinics, Not Just Consumers

Lumen-C reflects Skindividual Functional Skincare’s commitment to formulation science, skin physiology and clinical outcomes. Rather than chasing trends or irritation-driven results, it delivers measurable improvements in tone, resilience and skin function — making it a reliable Vitamin C option for professional environments.

For clinics seeking a high-potency Vitamin C serum that performs without compromising skin health, Lumen-C offers a clinically sound, education-led solution.
