Description
4-Hexylresorcinol is a synthetic organic compound known for its potent skin-brightening, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. It is widely used in skincare formulations to reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone. This ingredient works by inhibiting tyrosinase, a key enzyme in the melanin production process, making it a highly effective skin-lightening and anti-dark spot active. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and supports the skin’s natural renewal process.
