Illuminating System
A Breakthrough for Ultimate Radiance
Dark Spots: Not Just Skin Deep
Dark spots may appear on the surface — but they start much deeper. From UV exposure to hormonal shifts and inflammation, triggers inside your skin spark the overproduction of melanin. That melanin slowly travels upwards, forming the uneven patches you see on your skin.
Melanin Production (Source)
Your skin’s pigment factory goes into overdrive.
Your skin produces pigment (melanin) to protect itself in response to UV sun exposure, irritation, and hormonal changes. But sometimes, it overreacts and produces too much — even when you don’t need them.
Melanosome Transfer (Skin Surface)
That extra pigment gets delivered to the skin surface – like a delivery to the wrong address.
Once your skin makes melanin, it ‘delivers’ it to the surface skin cells. But when there's too much, it all drops in one spot,  leaving behind dark spots.
ARTISTRY LABS Illuminating System
Treats Dark Spots From Surface To Source
The Illuminating System works deeper than typical brightening products — targeting the multiple layers where pigmentation forms. The result? Faster, more dramatic improvement in spot appearance and overall tone clarity.
