Symwhite 377 (phenylethylhydroquinone) has multiple effects, mainly including whitening and brightening, antioxidant, anti-aging, and even skin tone.
1. Whitening and brightening
Symwhite 377 effectively prevents the formation of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, thereby reducing the melanin content in the skin and achieving whitening and brightening effects. Its whitening effect is 22 times that of quercetin and 100 times that of alpha arbutin. In addition, Symwhite 377 can also disperse existing melanin in the skin, further improving skin tone.
2. Antioxidant
Symwhite 377 can eliminate excessive oxygen free radicals, reduce oxidation reactions during melanin production, and thus exert antioxidant effects. This antioxidant effect not only helps reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, but also delays skin aging.
3. Anti aging
Symwhite 377 delays skin aging by inhibiting the expression of related proteins, reducing oxidative stress response. It can combat harmful free radicals that cause skin aging and maintain a youthful state of the skin.
4. Uniform skin tone
Symwhite 377 can prevent dullness and uneven skin tone caused by natural aging of the skin, control the formation of pigmentation, improve skin turbidity, and make skin tone more even. In addition, it can improve dark circles and remove melanin.
