Lumina Serum
Powered by the A-R3 Matrix™
For dark spots, fine lines and dryness after 40. One bottle does the work of three: a spot serum, a firming serum and, for most skin, your night cream.
30 mL, about 30 nights · Water-based · Fragrance-free · Airless pump
By night 30, as reported by the 100 women over 40 we gave Lumina to before launch. Not a clinical trial.
How many nights will you give your skin?
One bottle lasts about 30 nights. The clearest change usually takes 60 to 90.

Do I really need more than one bottle?
Spots and lines usually need 60 to 90 nights, and one bottle lasts about 30. Bottle 2 covers nights 31 to 60, when we expect spots to keep looking lighter. On 2 bottles, each is $69 with free shipping, against $87.95 for one, because we’d rather lower the price than have you stop at night 30. Every plan is covered by the Empty Bottle Promise.
What if my skin is sensitive, or breaks out easily?
It’s made to be gentle: water-based and fragrance-free, with no retinol, oils or dyes, and nothing meant to burn, peel or bleach. Our testers with sensitive skin felt no burning or stinging, and those with oily or combination skin had no breakouts. Try a little on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before your first full use.

Made for skin after 40
Spots, lines, dryness. One serum.
The A-R3 Matrix™
Three changes after 40. One formula for all three.
After 40, skin renews more slowly, holds less water and makes less collagen. So spots stay, lines set in, and skin feels tight by afternoon. Lumina gives each change its own ingredient, in one water-light serum.
AFor the look of dark spots
Alpha-arbutin
Works on the look of dark spots and uneven tone, gently, morning and night.
RFor dryness
Hyaluronic acid and glycerin
Pull water into skin and hold it there, from the first night. It’s why most women can skip the night cream.
3For the look of fine lines
Three peptides
Work on the look of expression lines and help skin feel firmer, without a needle.
Alpha-Radiance 3
A for alpha-arbutin, R for Radiance, 3 for three peptides. Printed on every bottle: Powered by A-R3 Matrix™.
- What it is
- Lumina’s own formula: alpha-arbutin, hyaluronic acid with glycerin, and three peptides, in one water-based serum sealed in an airless pump.
- How it works
- Each part has one job: A for the look of spots, R for dryness, 3 for the look of lines and firmness. Nothing in it is meant to burn or peel.
- What it replaces
- A spot serum, a firming serum and, for most skin, your night cream. One step, morning and night.
- Who it’s for
- Women over 40 whose spots, lines and dryness arrived together, sensitive skin included.
What published studies found about the ingredients

These studies tested the ingredients, not Lumina. That’s why we also asked 100 women what Lumina did for them.
Before we sold a single bottle
100 women tried it first. All 100 wrote back.
We gave Lumina to 100 women over 40 before launch, and after 30 nights we asked what they really thought.
- 94/100said their dark spots looked lighter
- 89/100said their skin felt firmer
- 100/100said their skin felt less dry
What 100 women told us about their own skin after 30 nights at home. Each received Lumina free and was asked to be honest. The 6 who didn’t say lighter are counted. Not a clinical trial, and your skin may answer differently.
Night by night
What you’ll feel first, and what takes longer.
The first 48 hours
Softer, less tight skin
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid pull water into skin from the first application. The tight, dry feeling eases.
Nights 3 to 14
Hydrated, every morning
Used morning and night, it keeps that water in. You wake up with skin that still feels soft.
Nights 15 to 30
Smoother, firmer-feeling skin
Rough patches smooth out. Some women see spots start to lighten here.
Bottle 1 ends
Nights 31 to 60
A second round for spots
Older skin renews more slowly, so the spots that are left get more time to look lighter.
Bottle 2 ends
Nights 61 to 90
The oldest spots
The oldest, darkest spots and the lines get the most time.
Bottle 3 ends
Spots and lines usually need 60 to 90 nights. That’s why the plans go to 90.
On purpose
What we left out, and why.
- No retinol
- No fragrance
- No seed oils
- No parabens
- No phthalates
- No dyes
- No hydroquinone
- No known hormone disruptors
Nothing that burns or peels
Irritated skin can leave darker marks behind, right where you wanted a spot to fade. So nothing in Lumina is meant to sting or peel.
No oils, no perfume
Oils like sunflower and grapeseed oxidize in air and light, so we left them out and sealed Lumina in an airless pump. We left out fragrance too, one of the most common causes of allergic reactions to cosmetics.
Leaving your hormones alone
Hormones are already changing after 40. Lumina has no parabens or phthalates, and none of its 18 ingredients is on Europe’s watch list of possible hormone disruptors in cosmetics.
Made in the USA, at one lab in Florida, in small batches.
The ritual
Two minutes, morning and night.
- 1
Wash and dry
Lumina soaks in best on clean, dry skin.
- 2
One or two pumps
Smooth it over your face until it disappears. There’s no oil in it, so nothing sits on top.
- 3
Skip the night cream
For most skin, Lumina does that job too. By day, keep strong sun off your face: shade, a hat or zinc oxide.

Begin my 60 nightsQuestions
Before you ask.
I’ve tried everything. Why would this work?
When a serum does nothing, it’s usually one of three things: it did only one job, the bottle ran out at 30 nights before older spots got a second round, or it was too harsh to keep using. Lumina was made to fix all three. Mayo Clinic says nonprescription creams “may improve the appearance of age spots, depending on how dark the spots are and how often you apply the cream.” That’s why Lumina is gentle enough for every night. And if your skin isn’t better by the end of your plan, the Empty Bottle Promise covers you.
When will I see a difference?
You’ll feel softer, more hydrated skin from the first application. Spots take longer, because skin has to renew first. By night 30, 94 of our 100 testers said theirs looked lighter, and that’s where our numbers stop. Older skin renews more slowly, so for spots and lines we suggest 60 to 90 nights. If a brand promises results in a week, walk away.
Will it help my fine lines?
That’s one of its three jobs. Argireline® softens the look of the lines you make when you smile, squint or frown, and the two peptides in Matrixyl® 3000 help skin feel firmer. 89 of our 100 testers said their skin felt firmer by night 30. Lines take longer, so for lines we suggest 60 to 90 nights. Deep folds are a job for a clinic, and we won’t pretend otherwise.
I’m over 60. Is it too late?
No. Skin keeps making new skin at every age. It just takes longer, which is why the plans go up to 90 nights.
Is it for every kind of spot?
It’s made for the flat brown spots that years of sun leave behind, often called age spots or sun spots, and for uneven tone. If a spot is new, growing, changing, rough or bleeding, show it to a dermatologist first.
Will my spots come back?
They can, and the sun is usually why. Lighter isn’t forever: a sunny summer can darken a spot again, with or without a serum. So keep strong sun off your face by day, with shade, a hat or zinc oxide. If you like what you see, keep going. Lumina is gentle enough for every night, and nothing renews unless you order again.
Will it break me out, or ball up under makeup?
Nothing in it is known to clog pores, and our testers with oily and combination skin had no breakouts. There’s no oil in it, so give it a minute or two to sink in, then put on your sunscreen and makeup as usual.
Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Lumina is water-based and fits into most routines. We left retinol out of Lumina on purpose, because it can sting, dry and peel skin.
Is this a subscription?
No. Every plan is a one-time purchase. Nothing renews, and you’re only charged again if you choose to order again.
Can I return it?
If your skin isn’t better when your last bottle runs out, the Empty Bottle Promise gives you a full refund, shipping included, and you keep the bottles. Changed your mind before you open it? Write to hello@reflorealabs.com within 30 days of delivery and we’ll send return instructions. On an unopened return, the postage is yours and the first shipping charge isn’t refunded. If a bottle arrives damaged or defective, email us and we put it right at our cost. One course per customer, up to 90 nights. Full refund terms
I’m pregnant or nursing. Can I use it?
Please ask your doctor first. That’s the only honest answer any skincare brand can give you.
Where is it made, and where can I buy it?
In the USA, at one lab in Florida, in small batches. Lumina is sold only here, and every order ships from New Jersey.

Why we made Lumina
We kept seeing weak, poorly chosen formulas sold to women over 40, and we wanted to make something better.
So we made one serum and put everything we had into it. For the spots, the lines and the dryness that tend to arrive together, with nothing meant to burn or peel. No fragrance, no seed oils, no retinol.
We believe skin is part of a healthy body, not a separate project. Sleep, sun and food show up on your face too. A serum can’t do everything, but it should never work against you.
We named it Reflorea, from the Latin for “to bloom again.” That’s what we hope it does for you.
One last thing
Sixty nights from now, the mirror could agree with you.
