It promotes the discharge of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, thereby contributing to a lighter and more even skin tone.
- Inhibition of Melanin Production:
4-MSK can block the pathways that lead to melanin production, effectively reducing the formation of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Enhancement of Skin Self-Healing:
By improving the skin’s natural healing processes, 4-MSK can help repair damaged skin and enhance overall skin health.
