What Is Oxyresveratrol?
Oxyresveratrol is a naturally occurring stilbenoid found in mulberry and other plants. It is structurally related to resveratrol but with enhanced tyrosinase-inhibiting activity.
Research shows oxyresveratrol is significantly more effective than kojic acid at inhibiting melanin production. It provides brightening benefits without the instability issues of some other brightening agents.
The compound also offers antioxidant protection, providing dual benefits for hyperpigmented skin.
