DermaPep W220 PD is a peptide with skin whitening activity. (PD is the version in Propanediol)

DermaPep W220 PD is a peptide with skin whitening activity (PD is the version in Propanediol). Alpha-MSH, melanocyte stimulating hormone, is best known as a major factor in the regulation of pigmentation through its unique mechanism. Alpha-MSH is involved in the control of tyrosinase activity, melanin synthesis and melanosome transfer. DermaPep W220 PD interacts with MC1R, a receptor for alpha-MSH, competes against its natural ligand, alpha-MSH, and thereby prevents any further activation of melanogenic genes such as tyrosinase, TRP1, TRP2, MITF and POMC and finally blocks melanin synthesis. In vitro and in vivo study results show that DermaPep W220 PD is far more effective than other known whitening ingredients such as kojic acid, arbutin and hydroquinone.
