| Oligopeptide-34 |
Peptides are small chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the body, and Oligopeptide-34 works by targeting the natural pigment process of the skin. Therefore, Oligopeptide-34 is a skin-brightening ingredient that works by reducing the production of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) and lowering the activity of an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is involved in making melanin. It also helps prevent the transfer of pigment from melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) to skin cells (keratinocytes), which can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. It is known to be a gentle alternative in managing pigmentation without causing dryness or irritation.
