Science

This active functions as a potent and specific inhibitor of human tyrosinase, the primary enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis within the skin. By reversibly blocking tyrosinase activity, Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol significantly reduces the formation of melanin, leading to a visible reduction in existing dark spots and prevention of new hyperpigmentation.
