Skincode Essentals Whitening

The skin has many vital functions, the most important being to protect our body from environmental aggression. In our skin there are a number of different cell populations that generate a wide range of this vital protection.

One group of cells, the melanocytes, work together with the key enzyme tyrosinaze in a process forming the most effective protection the body has against solar radiation, the melanogenesis. In this complex process dark pigment known as melanin is produced to protect our skin’s structure and delay painful sunburn. The amount of melanin produced in the skin is of course different from person to person and between peoples.

Unfortunately not all melanin formed in the melanogenesis work to protect the skin. The phaeomelanin for example, reacts with the toxic free radicals to do more damage than good, creating what is known as hyper pigmentation - disturbing skin discoloration.

The Skincode Whitening products work to control the melanogenesis process, preventing and reducing unwanted or excessive pigmentation. 

The Skincode Whitening products have been developed with a great understanding of the mechanisms and processes behind the formation of skin pigmentation as it represents the latest in whitening research. Ingredients and formulations suiting even the most sensitive skin are being used, as opposed drastic methods and chemicals seen in the past and unfortunately sometimes still today.
