1 Mins read

Hey Reader!

Let’s get microscopic. Tyrosinase starts melanin-making by converting tyrosine into L‑DOPA inside pigment cells. Tyrosinase inhibitors plug this key step, preventing pigment formation rather than masking it.

That’s why pairing them with sunscreen not only prevents new spots—it allows old ones to fade naturally as skin renews.
