Unlike commonly used fruit acids and retinoic acids (such as salicylic acid), which dissolve the stratum corneum and pull out the dermis—producing quick whitening results but with significant side effects—these acids can cause permanent skin damage if exposed to sunlight, leading to melanin deposition.
Peptide-based whitening works differently. Peptides provide essential building materials for the skin (as precursors to fibroblasts and elastic fibers), helping to accelerate skin metabolism and generate baby-smooth, refined skin. The whitening effect achieved through peptides comes with absolutely no side effects.
