IN VIVO LIVER SPOTS EFFICACY STUDY
In a 3 month study on 26 female volunteers, Alpha-Arbutin minimizes
the appearance of liver
spots more efficiently than Beta-Arbutin. The
figure below shows satisfaction quotients relating
to the evaluation of the liver spot appearance reduction.
Your skin color comes from a natural pigment
called melanin. Melanin pigment is synthesized
in specialized cytoplasmic organelles called
melanosomes Within the melanosome, the enzymatic
conversion of the amino acid tyrosine to melanin
is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosinase. The
melanosomes in darker portions of the skin are
more active than those found in normal areas of
the body. Ideally, it is best to target this
process in multiple ways by dealing with not
only the melanosomes, but also the enzyme
tyrosinase. And with the help of exfoliation
agents, the initial effects of the complex can
be seen within 2 weeks.
