About

A short synthetic peptide (just two amino acids) designed to interfere with tyrosinase — the enzyme that makes pigment — for brightening. Cosmetic peptides like this are typically very low-irritation.

  • Anti-pigmentation claim
  • Synthetic peptide — low irritation
  • Targeted mechanism for melanin reduction

Known concerns

  • Limited independent clinical data
  • Stability and skin penetration depend on formulation
  • Proprietary peptide — thin published safety record
