The liquid extracted from turmeric rhizome has strong antioxidant effects, brightens the skin, reduces irritation, soothes, and heals skin damage.
A highly stable derivative of vitamin C that has a skin-brightening effect and is compatible with sensitive skin, less likely to cause irritation due to its neutral pH range. It has better skin penetration than other vitamin C derivatives, helping to improve skin elasticity, prevent aging, and reduce wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis, reducing redness, accelerating wound healing, providing powerful antioxidant protection by neutralizing free radicals, and enhancing the skin's immune system.
In 2007, Sytheon (USA) introduced HR as a skin-brightening ingredient with a commercial name called Synovea® HR, which has a high purity of up to 99.9%.

Hexylresorcinol has been clinically proven to be four times more effective than hydroquinone.
This skin-brightening ingredient inhibits the transport of melanin from pigment cells to keratinocytes, helping to enhance ceramide synthesis and thereby improving the skin's protective barrier against environmental factors such as pollution and dust.
Well absorbed through the skin and help improve the skin's moisture levels. Additionally, it promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid (HA), increasing skin elasticity, preventing and soothing rough skin. NAG inhibits the glycosylation process of tyrosinase, thereby affecting the maturation of tyrosinase and reducing melanin synthesis, which helps brighten the skin. It especially shows synergistic effects when combined with Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide).
