According to dermatologists one of the top five most common skin problems in South Africa is dark marks and skin discolouration, affecting people with darker skin tones more often****.  Not just a physical condition, it can take a knock on one’s self-confidence too***.  So, what can be done to manage this problem? Dark marks require effective treatments and long-term care. 

NIVEA spent 10 years researching dark marks in order to develop an effective skin care solution.  After testing 50,000 molecules, molecule number 630 was found to be the most effective to reduce dark marks and prevent their reappearance.  Named Luminous^630® the ingredient was formulated by NIVEA into a range of skin care products.

Results, however remarkable, need to be backed by science. During a NIVEA Luminous^630® global three-month clinical trial, test persons with dark marks testified to having seen the first results after just two weeks of regular use*, with continued improvement demonstrated over the full 12 weeks. As such, the new NIVEA Luminous^630® Range represents an exciting option for people affected by dark marks. 

When put to the test against other anti-dark mark ingredients on the market such as Vitamin C and Niacinamide, Luminous^630® was found to be the most effective anti-dark mark ingredient**.  Luminous^630® isn’t just an ingredient, it’s proof that when careful and considered research is done – especially on those skin tones majorly affected – outstanding efficacy is achieved.
