(HEK-sil-re-ZOR-sin-ol) NOUN

A phenolic compound with strong antioxidant and skin-brightening properties, hexylresorcinol is a highly effective tyrosinase inhibitor. It interferes with the enzymatic pathways of melanin formation, resulting in significant reductions in pigmentation and promoting an even skin tone. In addition, its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties support overall skin barrier function and health.

(tran-ex-AM-ik AS-id) NOUN

A synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, tranexamic acid functions as a plasmin inhibitor that disrupts the interaction of melanocytes and keratinocytes. It is extensively used in skincare for its ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, making it highly effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex is obtained from chlorophyll (yes, the green stuff found in plants) by exchanging the methyl and phytylester groups with alkali and replacing the magnesium with copper. Sounds good, but what does it do for our skin? The greenish-black substance is known as a powerful antioxidant and for its effect on photoaged skin. It also helps reduce inflammation and boosts skin regeneration.
