The Science
Dermatologist developed and scientifically formulated with potent ingredients that work together to get you real results.
This serum is scientifically formulated with medical grade ingredients that work synergistically to help with oxidative stress, support normal cell replication, prevent free radical formation and visibly diminish acne and acne pores, while it helps to clear white & black heads, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and brown spots, giving a glowy and clear complexion.
What to Know
Mild sensation or irritation may occur in sensitive skin types. If you experience initial dryness, redness, flakiness or irritation, this is a normal skin response. You can incorporate a gentle exfoliating product, such as our Pumpkin Mask to remove the dead skin cells faster and soothe your complexion. Discontinue use if irritation does not disappear in few seconds of application.
Keep product in a cool, dark place to protect the active ingredients.
This product can be combined with our Revoderm Intense Hyaluronic Acid for even better results. Use the Hyaluronic Acid first, then apply the Illuminous Serum.
Be sure to wear sunscreen to protect your glow and prevent further sun damage, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
For long lasting results, use as part of the Anti-Aging Revolutionary Results Routine.

Illuminous Antioxidant Serum
A note from our founders
Where did Illuminous go?
Our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum is taking an unexpected break. The lab that made it for us was sold without notice and has stopped making skincare, so we can't produce more right now. We're working hard to bring it back.
In the meantime, we've set aside our remaining Illuminous for The Pigmentation Routine, so you can still get it, together with the products our clinicians pair it with for brighter, more even-looking skin.

Other questions? We're here to help.
I’ve had stubborn cystic, hormonal acne for years. Can Revoderm help?
Absolutely! Acne is one of the top concerns our customers have online or in our clinic. Our specialists and dermatologist will help with a customized online consult and treatment plan.
Can you help with other medical skin conditions?
Our private consults can help with acne, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and hair loss. If you suspect you have another issue, contact your local dermatologist.
If I get a topical prescription from the dermatologist, can I still use Revoderm skincare products?
Definitely! Revoderm formulas are all medical-grade and developed by a dermatologist, which means they work in harmony with Rx products. (You can’t say the same for random OTC/department store skincare.)
Who are the licensed skincare specialists I’ll be talking to during my consultation?
Our skincare specialists are all credentialed experts who have, on average, ten years of experience exclusively in dermatology and skincare. Oftentimes, our founder herself Ildiko Juhasz will speak to you directly, if not one of our highly seasoned nurses.
Do I have to part with all of my existing skincare products?
We get it—you invested your time and money on your current skincare routine. However, in order for us to fulfill our promise to you and help you achieve your best skin possible, you must follow our recommendations, which includes products, routine, and prescriptions. We want to make sure everything you’re putting on your skin is working for, and not against, you.
I don’t have any major problems. Can I still book a consult?
Yes! Anyone can book a free initial consultation with our licensed skincare specialists. They’ll dole out their best skincare advice, help you optimize your skincare routine and switch out products or add new ones so your skin can reach its healthiest, most glowing state.
I always add this to my bucket list. This is the only product that matches my sensitive skin.
Hi Mary, we're thrilled to hear that our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum suits your sensitive skin! Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing Revoderm. 😊
This product has done wonders for evening out and brightening my skin. Its extremely hydrating and a perfect paring with the HA serum. At the beginning it stings a little when you first put it on but overtime with use it goes away. I have extremely sensitive skin and this was a game changer for anti-aging and overall skin health without being too abrasive.

I have been using this for months and I think the darker areas on my face are a little lighter. There is certainly nothing happening quickly. Full of hope, I use it every night.

This product caused irritation and burning. At first I thought that that I need to train my skin to get used to it and applied it twice a week. I used a small amount of the serum. But it became unbearable and very painful to use. My face looked like I had a chemical burn-very red! Even my palms became to burn after the application. I ended up just throwing away the bottle which was almost full.
Thank you for sharing your experience, we are so sorry for any discomfort or irritation caused by our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum. We always strive to provide high-quality products that are safe and effective for our customers. We would like to assure you that this is not a common reaction, although everyone's skin is different and may react in a unique manner to the potent ingredients in this serum. Once again, we apologize and appreciate your feedback.
I have been seeing Dr Alanen and using Revoderm for over 10 years. This is the first product that didn’t work for my skin. For reference, I have dry and sensitive skin, with a few small spots of hyperpigmentation and have been using this serum for 8 weeks. After the first time using it, I woke up with 6 small pimples, but they healed after a couple of days. It also stung quite badly for the first 2 weeks and the stinging has come back again at week 8. It also dried out the skin around my eyes and the bridge of my nose to the point of flaking. I used it every third day for 2 weeks and worked up every second night since and sadly, have not noticed any difference in my skin’s tone/hyper spots. Further, the bottle lid has cracked (no idea how this happened) and it no longer seals properly. This is disappointing as it cost $200 and I still have 75% of the product left, but am unsure if I can use it due to the bottle breaking and the potential of the serum oxidizing. This is my experience with the product, but glad it has worked for others. I love all my other Revoderm products, but sadly, this serum didn’t work for me.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear that our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum did not work for you. We appreciate your feedback and take all customer experiences into consideration.

This is an amazing product. It has lightened all of the spots on my face and evened it out. Gives a lovely glow.
Thank you for leaving such a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum has made such a difference in evening out your skin and giving it a lovely glow. We're dedicated to providing high-quality products that deliver noticeable results. Thank you for choosing Revoderm!
Love this...keeps my skin bright and moisturized. Can not say enough great things...I think this has replaced about 3 other serums I use; so I am happy. I agree with another reviewer that it smells a bit medical for a minute (luckily that goes away really fast). Only downside from my perspective is that my teenage daughter loves it (says it helps with her acne), and now I need to buy for two!
Hi Marnie! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum. We are thrilled to hear that you are loving it and have found it to be a replacement for other serums you were using. We're also happy to hear that your daughter is enjoying it as well and that it has been helpful for her acne. We appreciate your support and hope you both continue to enjoy the benefits of our serum. Thank you for choosing Revoderm!
I really like this serum however it took a bit to get used to the initial smell. Luckily it doesn't linger.
As indicated, it does sting a bit the first time applying if you have sensitive skin. This only happened on my first application.
Hi there, thank you for your review of our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum! We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the product overall. We appreciate your feedback about the stinging sensation and smell, and we recommend patch testing on sensitive skin before fully applying. Thank you again for your review and support!
I have been using this for about a month and my face is looking so much better than before . I could tell within the first two weeks it was working as my hyperpigmentation was noticeably starting to fade, now when I look at my face it’s significantly more even in tone , I don’t need make up to blur or cover anything and that’s exactly what I wanted .All I use is a little tinted sunscreen to protect my face from the sun and I’m loving how my skin looks. I would highly recommend this product . It’s worth every penny in my opinion because you definitely will see results .
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum!

Hi Lena! Thank you so much for your review of our Illuminous Antioxidant Serum. We are so thrilled to hear that it has been the first product to actually work for your hyperpigmentation battle and help with overall brightness.
Amazing product. It’s like liquid anti-aging gold!
Thanks so much, Jennifer! So glad you love the Illuminous Serum.
This serum is amazing! Makes my skin super soft and glowing and keeps acne and wrinkles away.
We're so happy to hear, thanks for your review Caitlin!
Smells great, applies easily. Seems to do the trick!
One of my favorites
Already see a difference in the texture of my skin
Would not be without this
Minimizes pores and leaves skin glowing. Can’t recommend enough.
I've been using this product for about four years and love it. I believe it has really helped to keep my skin looking healthy.
I have used this product for 5 years and like the way it works with my complexion.
I have loved this product for many many years. I still use it regularly. When I take a break from it, my face feels the need for it and I'm glad to be back using it. It tingles and feels like it is doing good things.
Amazing product! If you suffer from aging and dry skin especially in Calgary's dry climate this product is the best!
Hi, I’m almost 59 years old with rosacea and my skin has never felt better. I would highly recommend this product. Many thanks Revoderm!
