If you're worried about skin peeling... apply this cream instead of sunscreen.

Whitening cream helps the skin to be less sunburned even when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

 

If you're concerned about skin burning from ultraviolet rays, it's good to apply not only sunscreen but also whitening cream.

 

Whitening cream helps prevent the skin from burning less after exposure to ultraviolet rays.

 

When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, an enzyme called tyrosinase oxidizes tyrosine proteins in melanocytes.

 

Tyrosine is converted into melanin pigment, which makes the skin appear darker, resulting in so-called 'tanned skin'.

 

The ingredients in the whitening cream inhibit melanin pigment production.

 

Whitening functional cosmetics cannot break down already formed melanin pigments, but

 

▲Inhibit tyrosinase

 

▲Prevent tyrosine protein oxidation

 

It inhibits the transfer of already formed melanin pigment to keratinocytes, helping to prevent and reduce melanin pigment production.

 

Skin cells that have already been colored with melanin pigment take about 30 days to rise to the stratum corneum, and until the keratinized cells fall off, the skin color remains dark.

 

Applying whitening cream does not produce immediate effects.

 

The effects appear approximately one month after application, following the skin's natural cycle of exfoliation.

 

If used consistently for more than six months, the effects can be clearly recognized.

 

 

Whitening functional cosmetics are most effective when used immediately after exposure to UV rays.

 

As previously explained, this is because it interferes with the process of melanin pigment formation after UV stimulation or prevents the melanin pigment formed in the basal layer from rising to the stratum corneum.

 

 

 

It is best to apply sunscreen before and during going out, and on days with a lot of sun exposure, to use whitening functional cosmetics in the evening.

 

 

 

Since whitening functional cosmetics may lose their whitening ingredient activity when directly exposed to sunlight, it is recommended to apply a sunscreen over the whitening functional cosmetics if you need to wear them before going outside.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, substances registered as whitening agents with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety include

 

▲ Four types of vitamin C derivatives (ascorbyl glucoside, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, ethyl ascorbyl ether, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate)

 

 

▲Niacinamide

 

▲Arbutin

 

 

 

▲Alpha-Bisoprolol

 

▲Doknamu extract

 

▲Contains useful licorice extract, etc.

 

Only products containing the proven effective amount for whitening can be labeled as "whitening functional cosmetics" after receiving approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

 

If the cosmetic contains only ingredients other than active ingredients, it is difficult to expect a whitening effect.
