“Moisturizes and evens skin tone”

…The moment I opened the bottle, I saw that the consistency was more of a lightweight, cushiony, gel-like texture. This fragrance-free serum applies easily, absorbs quickly, and layers nicely under moisturizers, makeup, and sunscreens evenly… Requiring only a dab or two, this bottle should last for a while so it's worth the value and quality.

“Evened out some areas that needed it!”

…After using it regularly, my skin looked a little more even and generally brighter… At around $25, I thought it was a little on the expensive side for a 30 mL serum, but I felt the formula made it worth considering…

“I'm not sold. Not much dermatology backing and all about online ads.”

I'm really not sold on this… There isn't much, if any dermatology research behind it… The ingredients listed are typically safe… but where's the backing?

“A Visible Boost of Clarity for an Even Skin Tone”

…the serum features a wonderfully lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that leaves zero greasy residue behind, making it an effortless addition to both my morning and evening skincare regimens… I love how easily it layers under my moisturizer and sunscreen without any pilling or heavy buildup…

“Soothing serum”

…It's a thicker serum which I love and when I patted it in, it soaked in pretty quick without leaving the skin feeling tacky. I absolutely love that it's fragrance free and there is zero odor… You do get a nice size bottle and since you don't need a lot, it should last a long time…

“Lightweight Serum for a More Even-Looking Complexion”

…The lightweight consistency absorbs easily and doesn't leave the skin feeling excessively greasy or heavy, making it comfortable to use under moisturizer… The fragrance-free formula is also a nice benefit for anyone who prefers skincare products without added scent.

“Radiant skin tone”

This serum left my skin with a smooth appearance and a brighter skin complexion… This product is made with mild ingredients that doesn't cause discomforts or irritations to my skin…

“Multiple benefits”

…It is fragrance free, absorbs rapidly, and blends easily… It is a bit on the high end price point, but I feel it is better than other similar products I have tried.

How to Use

Looking for a niacinamide brightening serum that fits naturally into a daily routine without overcomplicating things? Cellura Luminé was formulated to do exactly that.

When used during the day, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Begin with once-daily use and adjust according to your skin’s tolerance.

Key Ingredients at a Glance

Ingredient What It Does Best For
Niacinamide Supports a smoother, more even-looking skin tone and helps calm the look of redness Uneven tone, sensitive-leaning skin
Alpha-Arbutin Helps fade the appearance of dark spots and discoloration over time Dullness, post-blemish marks
Kojic Acid Works alongside arbutin to target the look of uneven pigmentation Uneven pigmentation
Tranexamic Acid Supports a brighter, more balanced-looking complexion Dullness, uneven tone

Complete the Routine

Luminé works best on skin that has been cleansed without stripping. Use the Cellura ClearMark Bar as your cleansing step, then apply Luminé to clean, dry skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this niacinamide brightening serum suitable for sensitive skin? Start with once-daily use and always patch test first. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and space out applications. Can I use it with vitamin C or retinol? Yes, but introduce new actives one at a time. If you’re new to actives, use Luminé at a different time of day than retinol, and always follow with sunscreen during the day. How long until I see results? Most people notice smoother, more even-looking texture within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use. Visible tone improvements typically build over 6 to 8 weeks. Do I need to use sunscreen with this serum? Yes. Brightening actives like kojic acid and arbutin work best when paired with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, which also protects your results. What size is the bottle and how long does it last? Each bottle is 30 mL / 1 fl oz. At 2 to 3 drops per use, once daily, a bottle typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks.

Caution

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Patch testing before initial use is recommended.

What Is In This Niacinamide Brightening Serum

Active What it targets Why it is included
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) Uneven tone, visible pores, barrier support The core of this niacinamide brightening serum; widely used for the look of dullness and blotchiness
Alpha-arbutin Localised dark spots A gentler, water-soluble brightening active suited to daily use
Kojic acid Post-blemish marks Works alongside arbutin rather than duplicating it
Tranexamic acid Stubborn patchy discolouration Chosen for marks that linger long after a breakout has healed
Fragrance None added Keeps the formula suitable for reactive skin

Best For

  • Skin that holds onto marks for weeks or months after a breakout
  • Anyone who wants one brightening step instead of three separate serums
  • Fragrance-sensitive skin, or skin that has reacted to stronger acids
  • Morning routines, since the texture disappears under sunscreen

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I see a difference?
Tone changes from a niacinamide brightening serum are gradual. Most people look for visible change over roughly 6 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use, and older or deeper marks take longer.

Morning or night?
Either. Applied in the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen — daily sun protection is what keeps new pigment from replacing what you are fading.

Can I use it with my acne treatment?
Niacinamide layers well with most routines. If you already use a strong exfoliating acid or a retinoid, alternate nights at first and build up.

What should I cleanse with?
Pair it with the Cellura ClearMark Bar so the cleansing step supports the same goal rather than stripping the skin.

Is niacinamide well documented?
Yes — background on the ingredient itself is available from public chemical references such as the PubChem niacinamide entry.

What a brightening serum does

A dark mark is a chain, not an event.

Each active in Luminé works on a different link. That is the reason for combining four rather than chasing one.

  1. 1

    Something sets it off

    Sun, or the inflammation left behind by a breakout, signals skin to start making pigment.

    Tranexamic acid
  2. 2

    An enzyme starts work

    Tyrosinase begins building pigment deeper in the skin.

    Alpha-arbutin, Kojic acid
  3. 3

    Pigment is packaged

    The pigment is bundled up, ready to be passed upward.

    Not addressed
  4. 4

    It reaches the surface

    Surface cells take delivery. Now the mark is visible.

    Niacinamide

Two of our four actives work at the same stage, so “four actives” means three points of interruption, not four. Nothing in this formula addresses Stage 3. We would rather tell you that than let you find it.

Our concentrations are not the concentrations in the published studies. Alpha-arbutin has been studied at 5%; Luminé contains 1.5%. Kojic acid has been studied at 2%; Luminé contains 1%. Niacinamide has been studied at 4%; Luminé contains 10%. Tranexamic acid has been studied at 2-5%; Luminé contains 2%. We publish both numbers so you can judge for yourself.

The formula

The four, in detail.

What each one is, how it works, and what is actually known about it.

10%

Niacinamide

Reduces pigment transfer (Hakozaki et al., 2002)

Pigment is made in one set of cells, then handed to the surface cells you see. Niacinamide helps reduce that hand-off, so less of it shows. It also supports the skin barrier.

Vitamin B3. Needs ongoing use and daily sunscreen
1.5%

Alpha-Arbutin

Reduces new pigment production (García-Jiménez et al., 2017)

Works on tyrosinase, the enzyme at the centre of melanin production, lowering how much new pigment gets made. Better at limiting what forms next than at clearing what is already there.

A tyrosine look-alike in melanin chemistry
1%

Kojic Acid

Works on the enzyme’s copper (EU Regulation 2024/996, 1% max)

Tyrosinase depends on copper at its active site. Kojic acid binds that copper, a different route to the same enzyme arbutin works on. Held at the maximum EU and UK law allows in a face product.

From koji fermentation. Keep out of light
2%

Tranexamic Acid

Quiets pigment-triggering signals (González-Molina et al., 2022)

Sun and irritation feed signals that drive pigment production. Tranexamic acid works on that pathway rather than on the enzyme itself.

Also studied for marks left after breakouts

01 Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Evens visible tone, supports the barrier Helps keep excess pigment from showing at the surface, and supports a calmer, more resilient-looking complexion. Reduces the transfer of melanosomes from pigment-producing cells to the surrounding skin cells you actually see. 4%in a randomised trial; 2-5% common in topicals 10%above the concentration used in the trial 8wk Moderate One small randomised trial against hydroquinone 4%, plus the 2002 study that established the mechanism.

02 Tranexamic Acid TXA Targets the signals behind uneven tone Works on the processes that tell skin to make excess pigment, particularly where discolouration follows irritation or sun exposure. Modulates the plasmin pathway and the downstream signalling involved in melanin formation. 2-5%topical formulations with clinical data 2%within the range studied topically 8-12wk Moderate A 2026 review of topical and intradermal formulations reports pigment-score reductions comparable to hydroquinone, with first visible change around weeks 4-8.

03 Alpha-Arbutin Hydroquinone glycoside Slows excess pigment production Supports a more even-looking tone by reducing one step in the skin’s pigment-making process. Competitively inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme at the centre of melanin synthesis. 5%from a split-face trial pairing it with kojic acid 2% 1.5%below the concentration in the pilot study ~12wk Limited The 5% figure comes from a 27-person split-face pilot that paired alpha-arbutin with kojic acid 2%, so the two cannot be told apart.

04 Kojic Acid From koji fermentation Reduces pigment production Works on the skin’s melanin-making process, supporting the gradual fading look of dark marks over time. Chelates the copper at tyrosinase’s active site, lowering the enzyme’s output. 2%in trials, but EU and UK law caps face products at 1% 1%the legal maximum for a face product in the EU and UK 8-12wk Moderate Controlled studies exist, but the strongest test it alongside another active. Since 2025 the EU and UK cap kojic acid at 1% in face products, below the concentration most trials used. Zilles et al., Experimental Dermatology (2022). Review, PMID 35960194 Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/996, Annex III. 1% max, face and hand products

Studied concentrations and timelines describe published research, not necessarily the concentration or expected performance of this formula. Where a studied concentration sits above the legal maximum for a face product, the law is the binding number. Results vary by the type and depth of discolouration, skin type, consistency of use, and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.
