Just looking at the packaging, radiance and light are associated with the new Giorgio Armani skincare line, Luminessence. It’s supposedly the first of its kind to harness the natural power of light to brighten the skin from within by using it’s Bright Regen Technology. Being that light is the essence behind all of Armani’s collections, it naturally made sense that it would also apply to his skincare line. Seeing 100% satisfaction were the results from a group of 150 women polled after 4 weeks of using the product had me wondering, what exactly was in this product, and will it do what it claims to?

Please note there are four products in the line and are intended to be a time- saving daily regimen built on a clinically proven results; it is used to brighten the skin but is also used on wrinkles. Each product is packed with active ingredients that could be used as a standalone treatment.

I sampled the Luminessence Bright Regenerator Concentrate, which had a beautiful, light floral scent and was lightweight in texture, too. I have seen in the past when dark shadows are erased, that light is allowed to illuminate and make it look more even toned and poreless. I noticed just a few days after using the concentrate that my skin did look better in tone and overall texture. Bright Regen Technology boasts that it allows light to travel evenly throughout the skin to dark spots, red spots, pores and wrinkles. It comes packed with the latest exfoliating fruit acids and a novel de-pigmentation ingredient called ACTYL-C that is supposed to diminish dark spots. Like I mentioned earlier, I did see a difference in the overall tone of my skin and hopefully, over time, I would like to see some of my age spots and red spots diminish in color.

Also available in the line is the Luminessence Bright Primer Essence which is a brightening treatment made with an ultra fresh concentrated formula to hydrate and infuse the skin with light.

The Luminessence Bright Revelator Universal Greige BB Fluid contains Armani’s signature greige shade that lights the face with purity, transparency and evenness. It is intended to hydrate, plump, and smooth the face while also leaving a rosy glow. It also has the highest UV protection on the market, SPF 50, to ensure that the results of the brightening treatment won’t disappear the first time you are out in the sun! The lotions are $85.00 and the serum/concentrate is $185.00 and are soon to be available in May online at www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com and at Armani Fifth Avenue and select fine department stores including, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Barneys, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
