Oligopeptide-68 is a skin-brightening peptide that is claimed to have a unique mechanism of action on lightening both constitutive (our default skin color) and facultative (such as tanning) pigmentation. It works by inhibiting the MITF gene that plays an important role in controlling melanin producing skin cells called melanocytes.
Oligopeptide-68 is also famous as one of the most effective ingredients for skin brightening because of its Biomimetic liposomic time-release delivery system, which is very similar to the composition and structure of the skin. This makes it suitable for reducing unwanted hyperpigmentation, improving the skin tone and offering immediate results.
