Description

4-n-Butylresorcinol is a safe effective skin lightener. It is a resorcinol derivative that has an inhibitory effect on both tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein, 4-n-Butylresorcinol is considered one of the most potent inhibitors of tyrosinase, which is why it is used in cosmetics
It is one of the most effective skin-lightening agents. It can be used for treating various skin conditions, e.g. complexion, hyperpigmentation, melasma, pore size, skin density, hydration, superficial scars, post-operative scars, hypertrophic and atrophic scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar lentigines, acne vulgaris and as an anti-aging treatment.

Helps to lighten hyperpigmented areas of the skin, such as dark spots, melasma, and sun-induced discoloration.
A study shows in vitro and in vivo data prove the high inhibitory capacity of 4-n-butylresorcinol on human tyrosinase activity, exceeding by far the potency of hydroquinone, arbutin and kojic acid.
Another study shows 4-n-butylresorcinol 0.1% cream showed rapid efficacy and it was well tolerated when used for the treatment of melasma.
