Elizabeth Arden has created an advanced skincare collection that addresses the various degrees of skin discoloration, uneven texture and tone while enhancing the skin's ability to reflect light. It consists of four products: 1. Skin Illuminating Brightening day Serum, 2. Skin Illuminating Night Capsules, 3. Skin Illuminating Retexturizing Pads and lastly, the 4. Skin Illuminating Smooth and Brighten Emulsion. 

Biological and environmental factors such as aging, hormones, stress and exposure to pollution and UV rays can produce excess melanin, resulting in dark spots and uneven skin tones. At the same time, aging decreases collagen and elastin and increases your pore size, leaving your skin thin and rough which reduces light reflectivity on the skin's surface. Therefore the result is that your skin looses that youthful vibrant and healthy looking glow that you once may had in your younger days - cue in the Skin Illuminating line.

"To achieve the most even-toned, radiant-looking skin posisble, it's important to not only focus on dialing down the darkness," says Lavinia Popescu, Senior Director of R&D, Elizabeth Arden. "It is crucial to also act on enhancing light reflectivity on the surface of the skin, with products that help to promote a brighter, more radiant complexion."
