Achromaxyl IS is a new skin lightening agent that you may not yet have heard about. Composed of fermented and hydrolyzed proteins, it is an extract from the Brassicaceae family. The Brassicaceae family includes cruciferous plants such as cabbage, broccoli and mustard. We all know that these plants are good for us so it’s not surprising to discover that they may possess skin beneficial qualities as well.
Achromaxyl IS itself is composed of water, glycerin and Brassica extract. It is a patented ingredient, which has been shown to have skin lightening properties. This makes it useful in treating conditions involving hyperpigmentation such as Melasma and age spots. It works by decreasing tyrosinase, an enzyme necessary in the production of the skin’s pigment. Achromaxyl IS results in less melanin production and an improvement in skin imperfections.
Look for Achromaxyl IS in skin lightening products including those marketed to reduce age spots, enhance the radiance and brightness of skin and hand care products as well. Find it in Neostrata Anti Dark Circle Complex, where it is included to help increase brightness under the eyes.
