Defend #LumeIt
Suitable For
Most skin types seeking prevention, correction and protection, especially if you’re concerned with:
- Sun damage or premature ageing
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Pigmentation, dark spots, age spots or melasma
- Redness or fragile capillaries
- Loss of firmness, glow or vitality
- Suitable to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
*As Defend is designed to stimulate ageing skin, some acne-prone skins may experience congestion or breakouts. For blemish-prone skin, Fade brightening serum is the more suitable option - formulated with a lower concentration of vitamin C and specifically targeted to calm, heal and support breakout recovery.
Why You'll #LumeIt
Defend is a lightweight, skin-softening oil that hydrates without heaviness or residue. Essential oils of honey myrtle and lemon peel create a vibrant, uplifting citrus scent.
Results:
- Brighter, clearer skin with reduced pigmentation and redness
- Improved firmness, elasticity and smoothness
- Stronger capillaries and enhanced barrier resilience
- Deep, optimised hydration for lasting luminosity
- Skin that looks energised, balanced and visibly renewed
Why It Works:
- 9x Advanced biomimetic peptides to stimulate cellular repair and collagen support
- A powerful triple Vitamin C complex to brighten, protect and defend against oxidative stress
- Medical-grade Hyaluronic Acid to optimise hydration and skin resilience
- Phyto-actives and antioxidants to neutralise damage and support long-term skin health
Intelligent Blends
25% VITAMIN C BLEND
A powerhouse trio of stable, non-irritating and deeply penetrating, vitamin C; 10% Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (oil-soluble), 15% Cellular Extracted Kakadu Plum (superfruit), and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (water-soluble) fights free radical damage, prevents and corrects pigmentation, stimulates collagen, and brightens dull, uneven skin for a visibly radiant, youthful complexion.
ANTI-AGEING BLEND
A 10% concentration of 9 next-generation biomimetic peptides works at multiple skin levels to rebuild and strengthen skin structure. This blend visibly firms and smooths skin, reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles, calms inflammation, and reduces melanin production for a youthful, even complexion.
DE-STRESS BLEND
Reparative Mangosteen, Chamomile, Green Tea, Vitamin E, and Beta-Glucan delivers multi-layered antioxidant and soothing support. This blend defends against DNA damage, neutralises oxidative stress, calms redness, and accelerates skin healing, making it ideal for stressed or environmentally exposed skin.
YOUTH SUPPORT BLEND
Hydrolysed Marine Collagen and triple-weight Hyaluronic Acid restore hydration, plump fine lines, and strengthen the skin barrier. This blend replenishes lost volume, enhances elasticity, and maintains a supple, youthful skin texture.
ENERGY BLEND
A bio-available complex of Magnesium, Zinc, Copper and Probiotics improves cellular communication, oxygenates sluggish skin, and strengthens resilience. These minerals reduce signs of ageing, repair damage, and re-energise the complexion for long-term health and vitality.
Expert Skin Advice
- I love applying this serum over my eyes and lips, for all the added anti-ageing benefits.
- Defend may be too stimulating for acne-prone skin. If this occurs, I recommend applying it less frequently or avoiding breakout-prone areas. Alternatively, Fade is a suitable option for blemish-prone skin, as it contains a lower concentration of vitamin C.

I have tried quite a few C serums and would always break out . Defend is amazing , no more break outs just a lovely fresh look .
I’ve been using Defend for over a year now, and the results are noticeable. My skin looks more even-toned, and there’s a subtle glow that wasn’t there before. The formula absorbs quickly without feeling sticky, and it layers well under moisturiser and sunscreen. There’s a light citrus scent that fades quickly. Great addition to my morning routine—definitely a keeper!
Gives my skin a lovely fresh look
