For today’s Friday Find, I wanted to share a new product that recently came my way.
Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster
Just before Valentine’s Day, I received a surprise package and Vday card from the folks at Peter Lamas. Back in the summer, I reviewed a couple of Peter Lamas skincare products – Intensive Repair Hand Cream and Energizing Antioxidant Body Lotion – that I like a lot (review here).
I would place Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster into the wonderful category of multitaskers. It’s such an interesting and versatile product! Here’s what it does:
- smooths wrinkles
- evens skin tone
- helps prevent breakouts
- illuminates complexion.
Supreme Radiance is a sheer complexion booster that can be used as a treatment product, a primer, or as an illuminating product under foundation or just on its own. After cleansing, you can apply it alone, under a moisturizer, or as a primer before foundation.
It contains a number of amazing ingredients that give the Booster its versatility:
- maximum strength Retinol
- Salicylic Acid
- Coenzyme Q10
- Vitamin E
- light-reflecting minerals
- natural botanicals.
The ingredients work together to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even skintone, smooth skin texture, hydrate and protect skin, and increase skin’s radiance. It also contains dimethicone that makes this a perfect primer for me. It’s a primer with benefits IMHO.
Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster comes in a plastic tube with a pump, combining the best of both worlds. About two pumps to cover my face.
What’s surprising is the color. It’s brown! Very earthy looking. But when I apply it, it’s sheer. At first, I thought maybe it would give my skin a golden look, but the color really does disappear completely.
Here’s the complete list of ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycine soja (soybean/soja), Retinol, Salicylic Acid, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate, Ubiquinone, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Silica/Silice, Annatto/Rocou (CI 75120), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil
Although it has Titanium Dioxide in the list, I don’t believe it functions as sunscreen. Because this contains retinol, I wear it under my daytime moisturizer with SPF and/or with BB/CC cream with SPF when I wear it during the day.
Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, mature skin, oily skin that’s prone to breakouts, dry skin, and normal skin. It really has something for just about everyone.
Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster is cruelty-free, 100% vegan, paraben-free, and petrochemical-free. Made in the US. $44 for 1.0 oz./30 ml.
This is a very cool product, and I’ve been using it a lot. Definitely check it out on the Peter Lamas website. It will also be available on Pharmaca and Planet Beauty.
Have you tried any of the Peter Lamas skincare or haircare products yet?
I had no idea he has makeup line! The only thing I’ve tried from Peter Lamas is a hand cream that I received from ipsy and it’s very good. I applied it at night before bed and I wake up to the softest hands. This sounds really good, definitely worth considering to add into my stash.

This is a new product, Shireen, and I also received a lash primer. I don’t know the details but I’m guessing it’s a new addition to his haircare and skincare line up. Curious to find out if there will be color cosmetics too.
“Primer with Benefits” hehe I like that! This really does sound like a wonderful multi-tasking product!
Maria Gridley recently posted…Magical Hair (and Skin) Oil | Rejuneniqe by Monat
Glad you liked my play on words, Maria! It is a nice product to wear on its own when I’m not leaving the house and it really is a perfect primer in addition to all the treatment benefits. Good stuff!
I so so so love it as a primer. I mean almost as a foundation! I’m 54 and have lost 170lbs and the last 100 AFTER I turned 50! My face needs help lol I can put this on and something like It Cosmetics Celebration illumination foundation. I can swirl it on with a large powder brush, ever so lightly, and it’s really really like no makeup makeup! Just looks like a I have nice, even, tanned completion, with no foundation look at all! Unfortunately, it’s spring of ’17 and it’s nowhere to be found. The secret is out!!
Dede, glad you love the Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster. It does appear to be sold out on the PL website, but I just searched for it and found it on Amazon and on lovelyskin.com. Check Amazon first coz it was less expensive. LMK if you get it
I wonder why it’s brown if it doesn’t leave a warm tint? So neat. Just to show my age, when I read the name, I first thought of Lorenzo Lamas.

Me, too, Nidia! Peter Lamas has terrific skincare and haircare products, and it looks like he’s moving into makeup. I also wonder why it’s brown. I imagine some of the natural ingredients are brownish so they went with it??
I have not heard of this brand before…. but the color of the product surprised me to see it swatched… wow! I think the ingredients in this may be something I would enjoy and I’ll check it out – thanks for sharing.
Peter Lamas makes haircare and skincare products: cruelty-free, vegan. I was also shocked at the brown color. It must be that some of the natural ingredients are brown and they don’t use dyes. It totally disappears!
Gotta love a multitasking product. I’ve never heard of this brand but it sounds like one to try!

Peter Lamas is a wonderful cruelty-free, vegan (I think) skincare and haircare brand. I think they’re branching out into some makeup now. This multitasker is really quite amazing!
This sounds lovely!

It’s a terrific and versatile product. Love it!
I think the color would initially shock me lol!
Carleen recently posted…ShopBop Big Event Spring Sale
It definitely surprised me, too, Carleen. I was expecting brown! And I was very relieved when the color completely disappeared 🙂
I love the idea of a primer with benefits! Interesting that it contains Retinol, and I would definitely use an additional sunscreen as well! Excellent, and thorough review, as always Allison! <3

I figure that if I wear it under a moisturizer with spf and/or under a foundation with spf, I’m OK unless I’m in the sunshine which these days I’m not.
Definitely a nice product and it’s not too expensive for all the great ingredients: retinol, SA, CoQ10, Vit E …. all good stuff !!

This complexion booster was a very nice surprise!
I’ve never heard of the brand!

It’s a terrific cruelty-free, vegan brand. Peter Lamas is known for haircare and skincare products, but it seems that he’s moving into cosmetics now too. I’ve tried the hand cream and body cream, and I like them both. This product was quite a nice surprise!
I like the sound of this a lot!

It’s a versatile, multitasker, and it was a very nice surprise!
YASSSS! I need a complexion boost!

Don’t we all! This is a nice little multitasker that so easy to use everyday in a variety of ways
The packaging is stunning, and wow what a surprising color!
It was a shock to me too to see the mud-like color but it disappears completely!
I like the idea of a product that can be used in multiple different ways! I was shocked at how brown your swatch was, too! I don’t have wrinkles, but I do like the idea of a product that illuminates and evens skin tone, like a grown-up BB cream.
Sammi the Beauty Buff recently posted…How to: Create Your First Skincare Routine
I was surprised too, Sammi. I definitely looks like mud, but the color disappears completely which is quite amazing. It has the benefits of some BB creams, but no color.
I enjoyed reading this skincare review and glad that the color of this products does vanish into the skin! 🙂

Me too, Ursula! The brown would be a real drag otherwise 😉
I don’t think I’m familiar with this brand, but I could definitely use this! It sounds so great.
Bailey recently posted…Beauty Blog Coalition Weekly Roundup Vol. 74
Peter Lamas is known in the US for haircare and skincare, and I think they’re making a move into cosmetics. This is quite the innovative product!
This could definitely be something to check out!

It’s so different and versatile!
I had NO idea he had a cosmetic line!
Lisa Heath recently posted…My Indie Polish Spring Collection
I think it’s quite new and I’m not sure what else is in the cosmetics line as yet. I also received a lash primer. We’ll see!
I’m surprised it goes on clear even though its so brown! It sounds like a great all around skin care product.
Kristina recently posted…Ipsy vs Birchbox | February 2016
It looks like mud, so I expected it to give my skin a brownish or golden tint, but no it miraculously dries clear!
Received a sample from Ipsy and it’s now my very favorite item in my makeup box!! My husband says it makes my face as smooth as a baby’s bum 🙂
Wow, that’s amazing, Judy! At first, I found the brown color a little off-putting but I got used to it. I haven’t used it in a while, but hearing what your husband says about your skin, I’m going to dig it out and start using it again! Thanks for your comment 🙂
It is so worth it! I am African American and it really evens my skin out. Everyone thinks that I am wearing foundation!
That’s great to hear, Katrina! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and help spread the word! 🙂 I wish the Peter Lamas brand were more well known. I think the skincare products are great and decently priced. I haven’t tried the haircare products yet.
