Mechanism of Action
Skin whitening treatments primarily target melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. By inhibiting melanin production, these treatments aim to lighten the skin. Common active ingredients include:
- Hydroquinone: A potent skin-lightening agent that reduces melanin production but should be used cautiously due to potential side effects.
- Azelaic Acid: A natural acid effective in treating pigmentation and inflammation.
- Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps reduce melanin transfer to skin cells.
- Glutathione: An antioxidant that can lighten skin by neutralizing free radicals and inhibiting melanin production.
