Many friends don't know how to whiten?
Here I will give you a brief introduction to the concept of whitening: the skin is a complex structure, if only one whitening ingredient is used is difficult to achieve effective whitening effect. For example, VC, niacinamide and other main ingredients will affect the whitening effect due to different mechanisms of action:
1. VC: Whitening ingredients are mainly used to inhibit tyrosinase and reduce the production of melanin. Its mechanism of action is to bind to tyrosinase to reduce melanin synthesis and achieve a whitening effect. Common vitamin C is ascorbic acid, arbutin, kojic acid and so on. However, because these ingredients need to undergo metabolic transformation in the body to function, they will not have a significant improvement effect immediately after use, and long-term use will also lead to skin sensitivity and other problems.
2. Niacinamide: It can promote the regeneration of stratum corneum cells, accelerate metabolism, reduce the precipitation and deposition of melanin; It can also inhibit the transfer of melanin to the stratum corneum and reduce dull skin tone; At the same time, it inhibits the activity of tyrosinase (so that melanin cannot be transported smoothly out of the epidermis).
3. Hydroquinone: It has a strong redox effect, which inhibits tyrosinase activity through redox reaction and thus reduces melanin production and precipitation. Common hydroquinone derivatives azelaic acid, arbutin and so on.
4. Tranexamic acid: is an antioxidant that inhibits tyrosinase activity and stops melanin formation. At the same time, it can also promote the synthesis of skin collagen and elastin, so that the skin is smooth, white and elastic; It can also lighten pigmentation and reduce melasma;
5. Arbutin: is a reducing plant antioxidant with strong antioxidant capacity; It can inhibit melanin production and deposition from the source and prevent the production of stains; At the same time, it can also stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis, thereby reducing skin wrinkles and increasing skin elasticity and enhancing skin resistance.
Therefore, when choosing skin care products, we should pay attention to the ingredients, and try to choose Bolex, a product containing a variety of brightening ingredients~
