Nivea’s New Luminous630® Anti-Dark Mark Range

Posted on by

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 Luminous630® 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 Luminous630® 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 Luminous630® 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, Luminous630® was found to be the most effective anti-dark mark ingredient**.  Luminous630® 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.

Glowing Skin for Every Season With E45’s New Face Care Product Range

Posted on by

Our skin is constantly reacting to the changing seasons, which means our skincare routines should adapt accordingly. By tuning into how your skin feels and looks, you can make small changes that make a big difference. Let’s dive into some easy ways to adjust your routine for winter and summer, and discover how E45’s new face care range is tailored to meet your skin’s needs all year round.

Winter Skincare

Winter weather can be brutal on your skin. Cold temperatures, indoor heating, and harsh winds can strip away moisture, leaving your skin feeling dry and tight. To combat this, switch to a hydrating serum, reduce the frequency of exfoliation, and keep applying sunscreen—even when it’s cloudy. Look for rich, moisturizing products that contain nourishing oils and emollients to lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier.

Summer Skincare

When summer rolls around, high humidity levels can mess with your skin’s pH balance, causing clogged pores and even dehydration. To keep your skin fresh and clear, use a gentle foaming cleanser to remove excess oil. Sunscreen remains a must during the day to shield against UV damage, and a good night cream will help keep your skin hydrated without feeling heavy. Products with antioxidants like vitamin E are great for this season, as they protect your skin from environmental damage while keeping pores unclogged.
