Our history starts when Yllume founder Hossay was 20 years old. She had acne-prone sensitive skin, in a very bad condition. She tried every solution on the market, and was finally prescribed a potent acne cure which cleared up the problem. However, after six months, her skin was even more sensitive, developing fine lines, dryness and rosacea.

Hossay’s mission now became urgent.  “I needed something to brighten my dull and hyper-pigmented skin, remedy the dark scars left by acne and external stress, and heal, strengthen and defend my fragile skin,” Having tried many of the common treatments – and found that several had adverse side effects – Hossay began to explore the natural remedies.

Hossay’s mother and grandmother had always used homemade skincare, using everyday ingredients like honey, fruit and tomato skins, and their complexions were in excellent condition.

She decided to adapt their expertise, combined with the latest effective ingredients, to create her own treatment to repair the damage to her skin.

Inspired by her family traditions, Hossay spent years researching modern materials derived from nature, working with dermatologists and top cosmetic scientists, leading her to the key ingredient, Colourless Carotenoids. Her ultimate skincare complex blends actives like crushed Pearls, infusion of Sea fennel Stem Cell, Rosehip Seed, Green tea, Aloe and Pomegranate extracts to deliver real results.

“The final formula,” Hossay said, “is for me, the perfect combination of ancient and modern expertise. It’s genuinely effective; it protects, brightens and perfects the skin, and the naturally active formulations are truly a pleasure to use.”
