Lumin Company Overview

Personalized skincare is the new trend in the skin care vertical. The days when you used your partner’s skincare products have now passed since the onset of the men’s skincare industry booming in the last decade. Lumin Skin Care was developed to tackle the ignored facet of a man’s life namely skincare and grooming.

Formerly known as Pangaea, Lumin understands that men’s skin is primarily very different from that of women and needs a whole new formulation that permeates through the thicker and more stubborn layer of skin. Lumin employs an approach where they ask the user a set of questions to pinpoint their problem areas and prioritize the skin concerns to send you a free trial with a personalized regime according to the answers received. Post that you can choose to select and buy the products of your choice from their collection or choose sets that are personalized by them. Lumin Skincare has a solution for all problems ranging from aging signs, clogged pores, acne scars, under-eye dark circles, dry skin to wrinkles.

Is Lumin Right for You?

We often like to test products to see their efficacy before choosing a long term commitment with it and Lumin Skin understands that. They deliver premium products at affordable rates to your doorstep every two months with the first month free. This way the customer can test the products and check it’s compatibility with their skin. If you don’t end up liking the products, all you have to do is cancel your subscription by visiting the account settings on their website during the trial period. If you like the products, Lumin will ship another box to you in 30 days which is a larger version of the trial box at a 20% discount compared to the retail price. Additionally, the customer is also granted the liberty to delay an order or add/remove products to their box at any given point of time.

When you visit the Lumin website, you can choose to opt for a trial set of products or directly purchase from their wide collection. You can choose from a predefined list of three categories in the trial list. All of which come with a trial and a one time purchase option. You may pick the category most suited to your skin needs and problem areas and choose to opt for a trial pack if you’re still contemplating on if the product might suit you or directly purchase the set or even go a la carte.

Is Lumin Credible?

Lumin co-founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani started the company with the co-founder himself dealing with acne and ageing signs unaware of where he could find products suited to his needs which would also fall into his budget. Initially, they started with skincare and then ventured into hair care and body care as well. They wanted to position Lumin as a method of self-improvement. Lumin has been featured by industry leaders such as Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, BuzzFeed, Traveller and Men’s Journal.
