Thiamidol

Melanin is the brown pigment that determines the colour of our skin. The production of melanin in our skin depends on many different factors, such as the strength of the sun's rays and duration of sun exposure.  

Sometimes, due to hormone changes during pregnancy, inflammation, in the form of acne or due to the ageing process of the skin, our skin cells only produce more melanin in small areas and thus irregular pigmentation occurs. This is understood as hyperpigmentation, melasma or age spots.  

Pigmentation occurs when the enzyme tyrosinase converts the amino acid tyrosine into melanin. With increased activation, this enzyme can produce more melanin and the skin can appear darker in some areas. These dark marks and pigment spots on the skin are quite common but can be distressing when noticeable. 

Thiamidol effectively reduces melanin production by blocking the enzyme tyrosinase, which converts the amino acid tyrosine into melanin. Less melanin is transported from the basal layer of the skin to the top of the skin and with that, pigment spots gradually fade and are prevented from reappearing.
