Dermastir Ampoules Kojic Acid

10 Ampoules x 3ml

Dermastir Kojic Acid Ampoules have a multiple action, as they treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots at the same time. Kojic acid (5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymenthyl)-4-pyrone is used in skin care formulations to lighten the skin, like another agent, hydroquinone. However, while hydroquinone works by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase by acting as a melanocyte cytotoxic inhibitor and by increasing the cytotoxicity of melanocytes (melanin - producing cells), kojic acid lightens the skin solely by suppressing tyrosinase e activity (by inhibiting catecholase activity of tyrosinase) in a non-traditional fashion. Kojic acid is revered worldwide for its skin-lightening properties and is commonly used in topical formulations to treat dark spots.
