MELANOSTATINE 5 PS (peptide in solution) is a biomimetic peptide which inhibits the synthesis of melanin induced by a-MSH and prevents its hyperproduction for a better control over skin tone and age spots. MELANOSTATINE™ 5 does not interfere with the melanocyte’s functions thus it is an ideal skin lightening agent for cosmetic products that inhibits melanogenesis without cytotoxicity. MELANOSTATINE™ 5 shows also clinical efficacy on Asian skin with a significant lightening effect after only 28 days.
