Product Description
A concentrate of a brown alga called Dictyopteris polypodioides. It is a preservative-free product and derived from sea fern.
It acts on the genes that control the three key mechanisms involved in the pigmentation of the skin: the maturation of melanosomes, melanogenesis (occurring in mature melanosomes), and the migration of melanosomes (responsible for the exportation of melanin towards the keratinocytes). Reduces the size of the melanin-transporting melanosomes, inhibits the activating factors of melanogenesis and decreases the quantity of melanin exported in the epidermis. Through its “melano-minimizer” action, it reduces the size of dark spots and decreases the pigmentation of the skin for a lightening effect.
