Q: Would I use this after or before moisturizer?

submitted by Jay - 8 years ago
  • A: Apply to face and neck after cleansing. For best results, follow with your chosen Nordic-C [Valo] moisturizer. Short-cut tip you can also put a drop in your favorite Nordic-C [Valo] moisturizer.

Q: does this ball up under makeup

submitted by HELLO - 7 years ago
  • A: Not at all! Absorbs really nicely and is a good base before makeup.

    submitted byShelly - 7 years ago
  • A: Our Glow Boost essence serum does not ball up under make-up. This unique formula contains our unique new Nordic-C radiance enhancing and energizing technology with berry extract from antioxidant-rich Wild Arctic Cloudberry and Vitamin C, along with Pure Arctic Spring Water and two types of Hyaluronic Acid, the hydrating formula works to promote the appearance of more youthful-looking skin that feels plumper, smoother and looks more radiant.

Q: What is the percentage of vitamin C in this product? Other companies list the percentage on their product and you do not list it. The question was asked once already and was not answered.

submitted by Kerry - 5 years ago
  • A: Vitamin C is used in cosmetic formulations due to its skin caring benefits, such as skin brightening properties. However, the usage of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid as such in finished cosmetic products is impractical since ascorbic acid is very unstable. The compound degrades itself when in contact with light and/or air. This means that after a certain amount of time no or very little Vitamin C is present in the cosmetic product, no matter how high content the product originally contained. To overcome this instability problem, different kinds of ascorbic acid derivatives can be used. Lumene ValoGlow Boost Essence contains ascorbyl glucoside, which is derived from vitamin C and glucose. The amount of Vitamin C derivatives in Lumene products is a trade secret. However, we firmly believe that by using stable vitamin C derivatives in our products instead of any amounts of unstable ascorbic acid, we can offer efficient, safe skin care products that do brighten the skin when used regularly.

Q: Is it safe for breast feeding mom?

submitted by KC - 5 years ago
  • A: Hello, our Glow Boost Essence serum is 90% naturally derived and 100% vegan, and is considered safe for nursing mothers. However, the product does contain a mild citrus fragrance, and some prefer 100% fragrance free products while breast feeding. Our Arctic Hydra Care [Arktis] Moisture & Rich Oleo Serum is a great alternative for those, as it's a 100% fragrance free serum, designed for sensitive skin.

Q: Is this unscented? Also, is the consistency more like a serum, or an oil?

submitted by emmy - 7 years ago

    Smells lovely

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this serum for occasional use to give my skin a glow. I find that daily use is not moisturising enough for my skin so I use it here and there and mostly use the hydrating serum. It can sometimes irritate my sensitive skin so I use it after a few days.

    Love Lumene Serum

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dry skin, so finding a Vitamin C serum without feeling heavy or greasy has always been challenging. After using the Lumene Vitamin C serum, I noticed a clear improvement in how hydrated and smooth my skin feels. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, but it still provides deep hydration. I highly recommend this product!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do believe this Glow Boost Essence actually gives my skin a noticeably fresh glow. It is very pleasant to use and it sort of moisturisers the skin in a light refreshing way. I use it in conjunction with the Instant Glow Beauty Serum and am really pleased with the combined results. It does what it says!

    Major skin reaction

    I do not have sensitive skin and I've never had a reaction like this from a product before. I used this for 3 days and my face/neck is covered in hives/red/itchy. It's very heavily scented which should have been my first warning. Do not buy this!!
