Phenylethyl Resorcinol works to brighten the skin.

Phenylethyl Resorcinol It is classified as one of the safest whitening substances. and provide maximum efficiency Compared to general whitening substances such as Kojic Acid , Alpha Arbutin

From the experimental results Controls the process of pigment production (tyrosynase) in mushrooms. It was found that Phenylethyl Resorcinol Has the highest efficiency in controlling pigments in experimental mushrooms compared to whitening substances Other types include whitening substances that have similar structures to Phenylethyl Resorcinol (e.g. dyhydropinosylvin) where units on the left axis refer to "times" of Kojic Acid

From experiments with Melanoma Cells (pigment cells) in the experimental plate, it was found that Phenylethyl Resorcinol Effective in Reduces pigmentation more clearly than popular whitening substances on the market compared to Kojic Acid It has an efficiency of more than 210 times (this experiment was conducted in an experimental plate)

Phenylethyl Resorcinol It also has antioxidant effects. When tested for DPPH Assay (efficiency of antioxidants), it was found that Phenylethyl Resorcinol Can work well From a concentration level of 1uM and above, if you consider 25uM it will be found that it has more anti-oxidant effect. alpha-tocopherol (natural Vitamin E) and BHT (a synthetic chemical commonly used as an anti-oxidant)
