CUTE E CREAM 30G

Hydroquinone in the Hydroquinone, Glycolic Acid Cream formulation works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial for melanin production. By disrupting this enzyme's activity, hydroquinone effectively reduces the formation of melanin pigments in the skin. Glycolic acid, on the other hand, functions as a keratolytic agent, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells from the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This exfoliating action helps to remove the outer layers of the skin that may contain excess melanin, revealing a brighter and more even complexion. The combined effect of hydroquinone's melanin-inhibiting properties and glycolic acid's exfoliating action contributes to the overall skin-lightening and complexion-enhancing effects of the cream.
