Mechanism of action—Decapeptide-12/ Lumixyl
Whether the skin is white or not depends mainly on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. Melanocytes are distributed among the cells of the basal layer of human epidermis, which contains Tyrosinase which can oxidize tyrosine into polysaccharides, and then through a series of metabolic processes, melanin can be formed at last. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin is; on the contrary, the whiter the skin is.
Tyrosinase has a unique dual catalytic function and is the key enzyme for melanin synthesis in organisms, which is closely related to human aging. Abnormal overexpression can lead to pigmentation diseases in human body. Tyrosinase inhibitors can treat common pigmented skin diseases such as freckles, chloasma and elderly plaques. Arbutin, vitamin C derivative, kojic acid and its derivative, green tea extract, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch extract and other traditional Chinese medicine extract in the popular whitening cosmetics are all Tyrosinase inhibitors, which mainly inhibit melanin synthesis by inhibiting the activity of Tyrosinase, and then play the role of whitening.
Lumixyl decapeptide-12 can inhibit the synthesis of Tyrosinase, thus effectively (40%) reduce melanin production. It can maximize the desalination of chloasma, freckles, old age spots, sunburn, uneven skin color and light damage caused by excessive pigmentation. And Lumixyl decapeptide-12 has no other whitening ingredients such as hydroquinone toxicity and side effects such as allergy stimulation and redness.
