    Hi Dianna! We love that you appreciate the added Vitamin C in your sunscreen! It helps defend against free radicals associated with environmental exposure. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid to help retain moisture and squalane to help reduce moisture loss. It’s a lovely way to combine hydration and antioxidant support with your daily sun protection! 😎

    It's light, spreads easily, and doesn't have a white sheen.

    great sunscreen

    another great product. broad spectrum production without the nauseating "aroma" or heavy texture of most sunscreens. I love the sheer sunscreen, the five-star review only applies to the sheer version. Not liking the the tinted product - it is pasty and thick

All FAQs
What’s the concentration of retinol in Illuminate?

The retinol in Illuminate was never meant as a stand alone ingredient,  it is just one of over a dozen active ingredients used for brightening and improving uneven skin tone. The formula is a cutting edge product that produces results but has to be tolerated for all skin types and textures even for sensitive skin; therefore the concentration of the retinol has had to be carefully modulated to meet these specifications. The retinol comes in a form of a patented complex designed to maximize absorption and efficacy. While traditional Retinol products are measured with specific percentage concentrations, Illuminate can't really be measured in the same way. This formula is unique and assigning a specific concentration percentage would be misleading as it's not an apples to apples comparison to other products on the market. 

Can I use retinol if I have sensitive skin?

Dr. Karam made it his mission to incorporate a moderated dose of active retinol in his hero product, Illuminate, to ensure that all skin types could reap the multitude of benefits without concerns of irritation. Along with aloe and sodium hyaluronate, Illuminate boasts a patented lipid complex blend that aids in soothing and hydrating the skin.

What makes Illuminate different from a moisturizer?

Illuminate is much more than your standard “moisturizer.” It was formulated to address various signs of aging skin - dryness, uneven skin tone, firmness, decrease the appearance of lines, wrinkles, smooth texture, brightening and radiance. While Illuminate does contain moisturizing and hydrating ingredients, its primary function is anti-aging.
