THESE days, it’s not enough to just have a brightening product – experts advise that you need to have a whole whitening boutique!

According to SK-II research, there’s a strong correlation between balanced red, green, and blue light (RGB) levels found throughout skin. The evenness of “light” transmitted from within, paves the way for better skin radiance. Without proper care, day-time skin damage may last into the night and affect the efficacy of night-time skincare.

The new Cellumination range consists of four products. The Day Surge UV is a dual-action brightening emulsion with UV protection (SPF30/PA+++), claimed to prime skin before receiving the full benefits of a night-time skincare regimen. It features the active complex Aura Bright Cocktail D, designed to target and normalise RGB variance while fighting day-time skin damage.

The Cellumination Essence EX is designed to improve both RGB balance and RGB variance for brilliant translucent aura skin, giving similar effect to that of a light foundation. Its Aura Bright Cocktail with Pixel White is touted to even out texture and tone, treat spots and plump the skin.

The Mask-In Lotion is recommended as a pre-lotion to be used immediately after cleansing, while the Deep Surge EX (for night use) is claimed to brighten and moisturise skin. Price: RM259 to RM699. Available at all SK-II counters.
