Composition – XTRA Lightening plus 5 x 5 ml
Hyaluronic Acid : Thanks to its elastic qualities and its richness in water, hyaluronic acid gives the skin a smooth and plump appearance. It also has an anti-ageing effect thanks to its tensor effects which contribute to erasing the furrows due to skin aging.
Arbutin : effectively inhibits the activity of tyrosinase and, therefore, the production of melanin. Thanks to structural similarities with the substrates of tyrosinase, arbutin acts following a mechanism of binding competition in the active regions of the enzyme.
Additionally, Arbutin has the ability to inhibit the Polymerase (5,6-dihydroxy-indole-2-carboxylic acid) product DHICA resulting from the oxidation of tyrosine.
Glycyrrhiza uralensis (licorice) root extract : inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, and mild melanin and color reducing action.
Licorice extract also has anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting superoxide anion synthesis and cyclooxygenase activity.
Anti-aging effect to effectively absorb UVA and B rays. Anti-radical.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid : The depigmenting activity of ascorbic acid is due both to its tyrosinase inhibitory action and its ability to reduce dopaquinone to DOPA, which can also prevent melanin formation.
Cromabright™ : inhibits tyrosinase activity. Significant depigmenting effect in melanocytes. It produces a strong skin whitening effect in vivo. photoprotective effect on cell cultures of human epidermal keratinocytes, acting as a preventive measure against skin lesions induced by ultraviolet radiation.
Pentapeptide-13: Promotes clarifying, homogenizing properties of skin tone .
Antioxidant Decapeptide-15 : Clarification and whitening of the skin.
Prevents photoaging Inhibits melanin synthesis through a mechanism of inhibiting tyrosinase expression.
Oligopeptide-50 : Inhibits melanin synthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase. Changes the morphology of melanocytes . Induces the reduction of melanin synthesis and the formation of melanosomes in melanocytes. Inhibits melanogenesis marker expression.
Oligopeptide-34 : inhibits melanin synthesis. Reduces tyrosinase activity. It produces a decrease in the formation of melanosomes in the treated melanocytes.
Oligopeptide-51 inhibits the expression of the melanogenesis marker. It inhibits the synthesis of melanin . Induces morphological changes in melanocytes.
Glutathione: Glutathione has an SH reducing group.
This functional group can form a complex with copper and by reducing dopaquinone. Glutathione induces the formation of pheomelanin from dopaquinone.
