Peptid4 Light MB peptide brightening for sensitive skin

Peptid4® Light MB is a cutting-edge synthetic tetrapeptide brightening active (INCI: Propanediol, Water, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-112) designed to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone while being gentle on sensitive skin. Chemyunion launched this novel active ingredient at in-cosmetics Global.

How Peptid4 Light MB works

This innovative peptide targets the MC1R receptor, acting as a competitive antagonist to modulate melanogenesis at its biological origin. By reducing melanin production without damaging melanocytes, it avoids irritation and rebound hyperpigmentation, making it suitable for daytime use and sensitive skin.

• Soothing effect: Reduction in erythema and progressive skin tone uniformity after 84 days.
• Anti-ageing: 63% increase in type I collagen, providing firming benefits.
• No rebound effect: Safe and effective for long-term use.
