Lumin sought advice from the best skincare experts in Los Angeles and Seoul to develop premium care for the premium man.
Darwish Gani, co-founder, said, “Our approach was to create a cult-like following with products that celebrated men taking care of themselves and gave space for sharing skin concerns with their community.” This the brand has achieved, with hundreds of thousands of customers from over forty countries, embracing Lumin’s skincare management.
What's Lumin all about?
It’s a fact that more men are using skincare regularly, embracing moisturisers to face masks and everything in between. The brand has removed the fear element out of men’s skincare and it’s the customer reviews that do the talking. The range includes skin, hair and body care, each made with naturally derived ingredients.
Lumin customers can take a free trial choosing one of three sets, each tackling a particular skincare concern, with an age management set, correction trio set or classic maintenance set to choose from. This enables the customer to see the results before taking out a subscription. Once signed up, the subscription service can be paused, delayed or changed at any time.
The short questionnaire guides customers to the products that meet their skincare needs so that they can start to enjoy #YourBestLookEver.
The products can be bought on an ad hoc basis.
Lumin's USP
Lumin is all about educating their customers about the products and provides a platform where men can share their skincare issues.
The products use naturally derived, highly effective ingredients from rosemary leaf extract, rose flower oil to charcoal, which are tailored to each particular product, with formulated regimens that tackle skin issues head-on. It’s worth noting that the products smell divine and the black/grey branding is worthy of any bathroom shelf.
When applying products, it can always be a bit hit or miss with the quantity required. The Product Book allays any doubts about how much you should be dabbing on with circles to use as guidelines for the recommended usage amount for each product
