For modern young people, staying up late is commonplace. They stay up late to watch TV dramas, stay up late to work overtime, stay up late to review for exams, stay up late to play games, etc. Staying up late is everywhere and almost no one can avoid it. But if you stay up late for a long time, problems will arise, especially on the skin. Dark skin, uneven skin tone, acne spots, etc., are all headaches for girls. There are many whitening products on the market, but the effects are mixed. How to choose safe and effective whitening ingredients? I have to mention, our Chinese botanical whitening treasure - licorice, known as the "whitening gold".
"Whitening Gold" | The efficacy and role of glabridin A kind of "King of Licorice", as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, it is either eaten or used as medicine. It has a history of thousands of years of use in China, and it is said to have corresponding magical effects in beauty. Glycyrrhizin is a unique and rare licorice flavonoid found in the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra. It can act on "three enzymes and one factor" at the same time to inhibit melanin. It is an important ingredient for skin whitening and freckle removal. Because glycyrrhizin is difficult to purify, has a low extraction rate, and the price of raw materials is comparable to gold, it is also called "whitening gold."
Dragon TV’s documentary "Materia Medica" reports on the excellent whitening and antioxidant effects of glycyrrhizin.
When it comes to whitening products, the most common one is to inhibit casein. Aminodase activity prevents melanin synthesis. According to relevant papers, in previous comparative experiments on whitening ingredients, the inhibitory rate of glycyrrhizin on tyrosinase was 80 times that of prototype vitamin C and 140 times that of nicotinamide. But in fact, external factors such as ultraviolet rays, stress, pollution, etc., lead to the release of inflammatory factors, which will aggravate the blackening reaction of the skin. Therefore, the first step in whitening should be to soothe anti-irritation at the source and reduce the triggers that stimulate melanin production. "Glycyrrhizin" achieves this very well and intervenes in every pathway of melanin formation, including other It can also inhibit melanin-stimulating hormone in the middle layer and prevent the transfer of melanin. On the surface of the skin, it can fight against free radicals and prevent oxidative dullness.
Principle of glabridin whitening
In addition, for Chinese people, the skin barrier is fragile and easily damaged and is highly photosensitive and prone to External stimulation triggers inflammatory factors, which in turn activate melanocytes, causing pigmentation and aggravating problems such as spots and acne marks. The glabridin ingredient is very safe and does not require the establishment of tolerance. A single ingredient can achieve four major pathways of whitening, and has anti-darkness, anti-oxidation, and anti-irritation effects. It is safe for whitening and effectively resists damage from external stimuli such as ultraviolet rays. It is more recommended for Chinese people with thin stratum corneum.
