Ingredients for Dark Spot Reduction & Pinkish Skin Safety

Ingredients for Reducing Dark Spots

Dear Customer,

Regarding your question about ingredients for achieving pinkish facial skin, as our staff previously informed you, there are no safe ingredients that can permanently make the skin appear pinkish from within. If a product causes this effect and it is not due to temporary colorants, you should stop using it immediately as it can be very harmful to the skin.

Concerning dark spots on the face and body, there are several types of ingredients that can help reduce their appearance. These ingredients typically work by either exfoliating the skin to remove pigmented cells or by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots.

Groups of ingredients that help reduce dark spots include:

• AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) Group: These work by helping to exfoliate old skin cells that are dull and contain accumulated pigment, revealing brighter new skin underneath. Examples include:
  • Glycopure™ (Glycolic Acid)
  • Lactic Acid Neutralized
• Melanin Inhibitor (Whitening Agents) Group: These work by interfering with the skin's melanin production process, leading to reduced pigment formation and fading of dark spots. Examples include:
  • Activated Resorcinol™ (4-Butyl Resorcinol) is a highly effective ingredient that inhibits the enzyme Tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis.
  • Phenylethyl Resorcinol (e.g., SymWhite 377) has similar properties to Activated Resorcinol™ in inhibiting Tyrosinase and is also a good antioxidant.
  • MelaninTerminate™ is a protein extracted from pearls that inhibits melanin production through a different mechanism, acting as an endothelin antagonist.
  • AEPWhite™ (Aminoethylphosphinic Acid) helps stabilize DOPAchrome, a precursor to melanin, preventing its conversion into melanin. It can be used in combination with Tyrosinase inhibitors for enhanced efficacy.
  • GlucoBright™ (Acetyl Glucosamine) can work together with Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) to help reduce dark spots and stimulate the skin's natural production of Hyaluronic Acid.

The choice of ingredient depends on your skin type and the appropriate concentration in the formulation. You should study the information for each ingredient carefully before use.
