What is Phenylethyl Resorcinol?
Phenylethyl Resorcinol - Potent skin brightening agent
Phenylethyl Resorcinol, a synthetic and stable compound, stands out with its potent inhibition ability in tyrosinase bioactivities, a critical enzyme in melanin synthesis. It surpasses kojic acid in strength, safety, and stability, outperforms hydroquinone in safety, and is more effective than AHAs and vitamin C in addressing skin lightening and hyperpigmentation concerns.
Phenylethyl resorcinol, a potent skin-lightening agent, is often chosen as a safe alternative to hydroquinone without known side effects. Visible results can often be seen within just 4 weeks.
It also provides antioxidative properties for skin protection and anti-aging benefits. Its antioxidant power is equally strong as BHT and alpha-tocopherol.
Phenylethyl resorcinol is gentle to the skin but has no known side effects.

- Lightens and fades dark spots and patches
