Description
Phloretin is a powerful antioxidant extract from green apples. Phloretin helps to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and improves skin tone, ultimately, the result is a brighter looking complexion. It is a potent antioxidant and skin lightener comparable to arbutin. A clinical study found that the inhibition rate of 0.3% Phloretin on tyrosinase is as high as 98%. Phloretin is a flavonoid responsible in part for the antioxidant activity of apples. Phloretin can also increase the penetration of other actives.
Research suggests that phloretin not only has antioxdant ability, but it also can interrupt melanin synthesis to potentially reduce skin discolorations.
