Micellar Cysteamine

Cysteamine is an aminothiol that human cells produce naturally. It shows strong clinical efficacy in treating hyperpigmentation by blocking tyrosinase and peroxidase. Micellar Cysteamine delivers nanoencapsulated cysteamine in particles between 10 and 50 nm. This system reduces odor, improves stability, and enhances skin penetration. It also releases gradually, increases whitening efficacy, and minimizes skin irritation.
