INGREDIENTS :
MEQUINOL-2%: It acts as a substrate for tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin precursors. In a randomized parallel group study mequinol 2% solution was found to be highly effective and well tolerated treatment for solar lentigines and related hyperpigmented lesions on the forearmns and of similar efficacy for lesions on the face.
NIACINAMIDE-2%: Niacinarnide interferes with the interaction between keratinocytes and melanocytes, thereby inhibiting melanogenesis.
N-ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE-2%: (NAG) reduces the amount of melanin in melanocytes, thereby improving hyperpigmentation and skin tone. It inhibits the conversion of pro-tyrosinase to tyrosinase and also affects the genes involved in hyperpigmentation. Its combination with niacinamide has been found to have greater de-pigrnenting effect in various clinical studies.
Glycolic acid-8%: Glycolic acid reduces cell adhesion in the top layer of the skin. This action promotes exfoliation of the outermost layer of the skin accounting for smoother texture following regular use of topical glycolic acid. In results it helps other ingredients to penetrate faster and deeper to give a prompt and good response against hyper-pigmentation.
Licorice extract-2%: Licorice extract improves hyper pigmentation by dispersing the melanin, inhibition of melanin biosynthesis and inhibition of cyclo oxygenase activity thereby decreasing free radical production.
