How it works:
This medicine works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Vitamin C and hydroquinone both fade hyperpigmentation. In fact, hydroquinone and Vitamin C work the same way. Each inhibits the production of the enzyme tyrosinase. Important because tyrosinase synthesizes the pigment melanin. In the case of hyperpigmentation, the skin is producing or has already created enough melanin to cause dark spots.
What the science says:
Clinical research proves that hydroquinone is the most effective product to fading melasma (pregnancy mask) and other brown-grey patches on the skin. Vitamin C – Also among the elite in skin care ingredients, Vitamin C brightens and erases discoloration by stimulating skin cell renewal and blocking the creation of the skin pigment melanin.
