Have you overdone the sun over the years? is your skin now showing signs of pigmentation and sun damage? Get ready to tackle it effectively and safely with Eucerin.Dermatological skincare expert Eucerin are leading the way in the fight against pigmentation with their Anti-Pigment range featuring key patented ingredient Thiamidol, which has been shown to reduce pigment spots by up to 75%.
Thiamidol: How Does it Work?
The exclusive active ingredient of Eucerin’s Anti-Pigment range, Thiamidol, acts directly to reduce the production of natural skin pigment melanin in our skin – the root cause of hyperpigmentation. It works by blocking the enzyme, tyrosinase, which is known to increase the production of melanin.
Of 50,000 substances tested in the Beiersdorf laboratories, Thiamidol was by far the most effective agent and set new standards in reducing the signs of hyperpigmentation. The first visible results can be seen after just two weeks of application, with continued improvement demonstrated over 12 weeks.
How is it different from other hyperpigmentation ingredients?
Numerous tyrosinase inhibitors have been identified, but most of those lack clinical efficacy because they were identified using mushroom tyrosinase as the target – meaning they work on combating hyperpigmentation in mushrooms but aren’t necessarily effective on humans. Eucerin, however, tested ingredients using recombinant human tyrosinase – sourced from a living person and then artificially recreated, so its efficacy on humans could be clinically tested – and proven.
How was it discovered?
Beiersdorf was the first lab to screen activities with the human enzyme, screening a library of 50,000 compounds and comparing the active screening hits with well-known pigmentation ingredients.
To identify, extract, reproduce and screen human tyrosinase was extremely complicated and time consuming, add to this the screening of 50,000 compounds and the numerous clinical studies required to receive approval and prove efficacy and you can understand why the range took 10 years to develop!
