Key Ingredients
Innovative active components that drive product efficacy
ALL Ingredients
What it does
Retinyl Linoleate is a vitamin A derivative combined with linoleic acid, used in skincare for its anti-aging properties. It promotes cell turnover, improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and stimulates collagen production. The linoleic acid component adds moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it gentler than pure retinol and suitable for sensitive skin.
KEY BENEFITS
What it does
Inhibits the activity of tyrosinase. By disrupting tyrosinase function, cysteamine reduces the production of melanin precursors, ultimately leading to a decrease in melanin synthesis. This mechanism results in the lightening of hyperpigmented areas.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cysteamine in treating hyperpigmentation, including melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, to be 1.5x stronger than hydroquinone. In a randomized controlled trial, patients with melasma who applied a topical cysteamine cream twice daily for two months experienced a significant reduction in pigmentation compared to the control group.
