Unilever-owned Pond’s Skin Institute has debuted two skin care product ranges tackling skin ageing and brightening based on the autophagy process at the 25th World Dermatology Congress (WCD 2023) in Singapore.
Sensitive skin care brand Cetaphil has recently expanded its range of skin brightening products to combat what it claims to be the root cause of pigmentation and redefine what ‘radiance’ means.
Lucas Meyers Cosmetics is hoping to shift trends away from controversial skin lightening claims towards a focus on radiance, with a new active ingredient that targets three parameters to give skin the translucent glow coveted by the Asian consumer.
Whey obtained from milk fermented by the Lactobacillus helveticus CM4 strain (LHMW) has shown to suppress melanin production on the skin, revealing its potential as a novel skin-brightening agent, a study backed by Japanese giant Asahi has revealed.
