Efficacy of hexylresorcinol:
1. Strong tyrosinase inhibitor and strong peroxidase inhibitor: inhibit melanin production, acting on 6 positions of melanin production pathway;
2. Promote the synthesis of glutathione: Glutathione is very important to the skin's purification process. Ageing, external pressure, environmental pollution and other reasons cause the natural synthesis of glutathione in the body to attenuate, resulting in glutathione The peptide is at a low level, so the tyrosinase activity of melanocytes is enhanced. On the contrary, it promotes the synthesis of glutathione and makes glutathione reach a high level, which not only inhibits the synthesis of tyrosinase, but also protects cells from oxidative damage.
3. Reduce DNA damage: reduce melanin synthesis by protecting DNA;
4. Anti-glycation reaction: inhibit glycosylation and prevent the damage of glycosylation from causing skin darkening;
5. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial: inhibit Propionibacterium acnes and other microorganisms.
It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and block the production of melanin. In addition, it can prevent UVA, UVB damage, as well as anti-wrinkle and other effects. In vivo experiments confirmed that 0.5% hexylresorcinol had the same whitening effect as 2% hydroquinone in 8 weeks.
Application: Use this ingredient in whitening products, the adding ratio is 0.5%
