Use the gel recommended for your exact facial device. A product being water-based does not establish that it is suitable for every microcurrent or RF device. For SKINFOUNDRY Halo, use Lumis Activating Treatment Gel in Import, Eye Care, Anti-aging and Lifting modes. Clean mode uses cleanser on damp skin, with Lumis optional.
Start with your device’s instructions
Different devices use different contact technologies, controls and treatment products. Check the maker’s guide for the recommended gel, how much to apply and when to reapply. Do not choose a substitute based only on an ingredient list or a claim that it conducts electricity.
For Halo, follow the SKINFOUNDRY treatment guide.
Which gel does SKINFOUNDRY Halo use?
SKINFOUNDRY Lumis Activating Treatment Gel is the companion formula for Halo. It pairs a smooth treatment glide with five targeted actives: niacinamide, tranexamic acid, peptide complex, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
| Halo mode | What to apply |
|---|---|
| Clean | Cleanser on damp skin; Lumis is optional |
| Import | Lumis on clean skin |
| Eye Care | Lumis around the orbital bone, never on the eyelids |
| Anti-aging | Lumis on clean skin |
| Lifting | Lumis on clean skin |
LED is included in selected Halo modes. There is no separate LED-only mode that changes these instructions.
How to apply Lumis with Halo
Apply enough Lumis for a smooth glide in the modes that require it. Keep the device moving and reapply if the skin becomes dry or the head drags. Start at Level 1. Eye Care uses Level 1 and very light pressure around the orbital bone, never directly on the eyelids.
Each mode takes five minutes. The guide recommends two to three sessions weekly; the Essentials routine is Clean, Import and Lifting, totaling 15 minutes, twice weekly. Read the complete directions before treatment.
For a breakdown of session length and frequency, see how often to use a facial device.
Can I substitute aloe, serum or another brand’s gel?
The Halo guide specifies cleanser for Clean mode and Lumis for the other four modes. It does not establish universal compatibility with aloe gel, hyaluronic acid serum, pharmacy ultrasound gel or another device brand’s gel. Use the recommended product rather than experimenting during a treatment.
For a different device, ask its manufacturer about an alternative. Lumis being designed for Halo does not establish compatibility with another system.
Frequently asked questions
Can one gel work with every microcurrent and RF device? Do not assume so. Follow each manufacturer’s instructions for the specific device and treatment mode.
Does Halo need Lumis in every mode? Import, Eye Care, Anti-aging and Lifting use Lumis. Clean uses cleanser on damp skin; Lumis is optional in that mode.
Can I use Lumis with another brand's device? Lumis is designed for SKINFOUNDRY Halo. Cross-brand compatibility is not established here; consult the manufacturer of your device for its recommended gels.
What if treatment feels uncomfortable? Stop using the device if discomfort occurs and follow the troubleshooting and cautions in your guide. Contact the manufacturer for product support.
