*Organic Ingredient
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.

- JHJean H.Verified Buyer1 week agoRated 4 out of 5 starsThe container is the only problem
This is a great product and has really helped my skin . I would give it five stars except for the fact that sometimes the product dries into a plug in the opening of the dispenser and it's difficult to remove. In addition, I would really like to be able to see how much I have left. It would help with reordering!
KSKaramMD SkinYesterdayThank you for sharing your experience, Jean! We’re thrilled to hear your skin is loving it! You're absolutely right, the formula is highly concentrated, so occasional drying around the dispenser tip can happen. Wiping the spout after each use will help keep it clear. Dark packaging is necessary because many of the active ingredients in our products require protection from light to maintain their potency and effectiveness. We completely understand wanting to see how much product is left. If used as directed, they should last 30 to 45 days.
Thank you for being a part of the KaramMD community!
- TCTeam C.Verified Reviewer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsTotally worth it!
For me being a woman of color, KaramMD products are the real deal. I have sensitive skin and it’s hard to find really good products that work with my skin. Honestly, it’s the only product I will ever use., because it does everything you say
It does. People around us notice our skin. Hopefully one day, I will be able to step my game up and get your facial services . Again, thank you KaramMD for making us at age 61 and 64 look and feel great.
