What is Melazero? Exploring the Fast-Action Brightening Agent

Hyperpigmentation, a prevalent skin concern, arises from the overproduction of melanin. Melanin is a group of compounds primarily responsible for imparting color to the skin. These compounds are derived from the amino acid tyrosine, and two key types of naturally occurring pigments influencing skin tone are eumelanin and pheomelanin. While most skin brightening agents work by suppressing melanin production, they often do not address existing melanin deposits. 

That is where Melazero comes to the rescue. If conventional brightening agents can only inhibit the synthesis of melanin, then melazero can remove the existing pigment under the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanocytes. Let's find out the mechanism of action as well as the magical brightening effect of the active ingredient Melazero right away.

1. Melazero's Mechanism of Action

Melazero is a breakthrough 3rd generation whitening agent

Melazero also known as Arisaema Amurense Extract, is a patented 3rd generation brightening agent. This substance works by 2 brightening mechanisms.

Inhibition of Melanin

Melanin is an effective light absorber, normally pigments can dissipate more than 99.9% of absorbed UV radiation. These pigments are derivatives of amino acids, tyrosine and 2 types of natural pigments that affect skin color, eumelanin and pheomelanin. Functionally, melanin plays a protective role against UV radiation.

Because of this property, melanin is thought to protect skin cells from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation, reduce the risk of folate depletion and skin degeneration, and exposure to UV radiation is considered to be beneficial. 

However, when the amount of melanin is too much, it will lead to increased pigmentation, melasma, freckles, and is associated with an increased risk of melanoma.

Melazero has the ability to inhibit both Pheomelanin and Eumelanin thereby minimizing the above pigmentation. The most common type of melanin present in the skin is eumelanin, which includes both - brown eumelanin and black eumelanin. 

Melazero is a Nobel-prize winner using autophagy technology

Autophagy Technology in Melazero

Melazero activates the process autophagy, which won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2016. It is derived from a Korean oriental plant called Arisaema Amurense, and it serves as your cells’ “clean-up crew.” To put it simply, autophagy breaks down melanin into amino acids that can be used by our body’s natural functions.

2. Melazero's Superior Brightening Effect

Melazero's Superior Whitening Effect

Melazero's brightening effect is better than other whitening agents: 2 times more than alpha arbutin, Melazero 1% can inhibit melanin pigment better than 2% Kojic acid (while 2% Kojic acid acids cause cell damage). With brightening agents that take four weeks to take effect, melazero only needs two weeks for you to see a lot of improvement in your skin.

Melazero effectiveness compared to kojic acid.

Comparing 1% Melazero and 2% Kojic acid in their abilities to decompose melanin, Melazero is a safe alternative for our cells by brightening them naturally. Melazero is not irritating to the skin. The appropriate concentration to use is 1-2%. Melazero is considered a new generation brightening active ingredient, safe and benign for the skin, but the effect is extremely superior to other common whitening agents.
