DESCRIPTION

DERMA-VECT CYS is an innovative active ingredient for reducing dark spots and correcting skin imperfections due to hyperpigmentation. DERMA-VECT CYS contains Cysteamine encapsulated in ultra-deformable niosome vesicles. This kind of encapsulation improves skin penetration and cosmetic effectiveness by more than 4000% compared to cysteamine alone. Cysteamine is a natural antioxidant that works as skin-lightening by interfering with several steps in melanin synthesis, including the Inhibition of tyrosinase, reducing dopaquinone and acting on peroxidase pathways. This multi‑pathway action is why it’s considered one of the more potent and modern depigmenting agents for cosmetics.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

Cysteamine is a powerful multifunctional active ingredient for cosmetics. It offers not only a safer alternative to some traditional depigmenting agents, but it is able to perform many other useful functions for the cosmetic treatment of skin and hair:

• Protects ingredients and skin from free radicals: neutralizes reactive oxygen species protecting skin from oxidative stress and helps to stabilize other ingredients.
• Evens out skin tone: Contributes to a more even and radiant complexion.
• Improves skin texture: Improves the overall appearance of the skin, promoting quality and smoothness.
