Spierings, who is a leading UK consultant dermatologist, treats melasma in the same way as she would any other type of pigmentation, by using a prescription-strength retinoid (such as tretinoin) and combining this with the prescription pigment-buster hydroquinone. And, yes, using sunscreen on ...
Retinoids: Vitamin A derivatives (such as .025% tretinoin) that enhance the penetration of hydroquinone and boost skin cell turnover. Hydrocortisone: A mild steroid (1.0%) to minimize irritation caused by the active ingredients. Effectiveness The Kligman formula, when paired with sunscreen, effective...
Sagittatosides DN (1-11), encompassing eleven compounds, comprised eight novel flavonoids and three prenylhydroquinones, whose structures were determined through spectroscopic and chemical analyses. Among the compounds isolated, a new prenylflavonoid characterized by an oxyethyl substituent (1) was ...
Most bleaching creams contain hydroquinone as their active ingredient, which gradually lightens dark areas. Use hydroxy acids. These naturally occurring acids come in alpha, beta and poly forms, and all encourage skin cell regeneration, making them appropriate for reducing scar redness. This means ...
Treatment for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation often involves more than one method. Your doctor might suggest a combination therapy that includes a topical steroid, a retinoid, and hydroquinone. Living With Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation Living with PIH doesn’t cause any serious physical health pr...
GC-MS analysis of the methanolic stem extract of A. capitiformis revealed the presence of 49 different compounds with varying peak areas and retention times. The study found that chemicals like 3-furaldehyde, phenol, catechol, and hydroquinone found in the methanolic extract of A. capitiformis...
Peroxygenases represent a class of versatile heme-thiolate enzymes capable of catalysing highly selective oxyfunctionalisation reactions, particularly the hydroxylation of non-activated C-H bonds. This transformation, which poses substantial challenges in conventional organic synthesis, underscores the potential...
This is especially true when you are using chemical peels containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, and glycolic acid. All treatment options can reduce theappearance of dark spotsover time when used in conduction with sun protection. ...
Indeed, the hydroperoxide-dependent oxidation of catecholestrogens to quinones and the NADPH-dependent reduction of the quinones back to hydroquinones, yield semiquinone free radical intermediates and superoxide radicals (63). The generation of free radicals has been postulated to mediate DNA damage, ...
