Luna Microcare has introduced their latest innovation in skincare; an award-winning, cruelty-free, and vegan collection of at-home treatments; revolutionary patented skincare patches. Developed by Imperial Bioscience Laboratories – a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercialising innovative therapeutics – Luna Microcare was formed around the idea that a truly effective delivery of great skincare ingredients, on your own terms, is a game changer.

Available patches include: Complexion reviving Luminous formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, tyrosinase inhibitors, resveratrol and natural algae extracts to deliver clinically proven improvements in hyperpigmentation. Enlighten a high-precision local treatment for dark spots and uneven skin tone. Eternal a non-invasive anti-aging treatment that effectively transforms the under-eye skin. Clinical studies have shown dramatic improvements in the reduction of wrinkle depth and fine lines, along with other improvements such as skin density and thickness.
Currently stocked in leading clinics around the UK, Luna Microcare is also set to launch three products later this year: Flawless – the acne fighting patch, that kills bacteria in one two-hour treatment – Lumiere, which diminishes trauma induced acne hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin illuminated – and Luscious, a lip plumping/enhancing patch.
