Hexyl-resorcinol is a powerful skincare ingredient known for its brightening and anti-aging properties. Here’s how it benefits the skin:

1. Brightening Effect

• Hexyl-resorcinol inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial for melanin production. This helps reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, promoting a brighter complexion.

2. Antioxidant Protection

• It provides antioxidant benefits, protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature aging.

3. Anti-inflammatory Properties

• Hexyl-resorcinol helps calm inflammation, making it beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin.

4. Anti-aging Benefits

• By improving skin tone and texture, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful look.

5. Skin Barrier Support

• It works well in synergy with other ingredients, like niacinamide, to enhance skin hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier.

In combination with niacinamide, as with Fusion Radiance Cream, it works synergistically to brighten, hydrate, and improve overall skin tone and health.

Studies show that Radiance whitening cream’s active ingredient, hexyl-resorcinol, is four times more effective than hydroquinone in achieving a radiant complexion.

It achieves this by modulating multiple sites in the melanogenesis pathway. Additionally, it offers surprising functions such as increasing glutathione levels and stimulating antioxidant defence enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase.
