Sederma introduces Mediatone, a highly purified active ingredient designed to brighten the complexion with a tailor-made approach for ethnic skins.
It provides dark skin with a global brightening effect while lightening hyperpigmented spots on medium skin tone (Asian). Mediatone acts as a skin tone mediator to achieve a fairer and more even complexion.
From the nucleus to the melanocyte environment, Mediatone acts all along the melanin pathway. It regulates the genetic pigmentation (melanin production: –51% versus control), counteracts the stress-induced pigmentation and melanin transfer to the keratinocytes by reducing the melanocyte dendricity.
Obtained by an eco-designed process, which received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005, Mediatone is of high-purity and without toxicity on cells (unlike competitive inhibitors). Mediatone complies with the Chinese regulation for cosmetic ingredients.
