- Product Highlights
- Radiant and even complexion
- Dark spots reduction in size and color
- Multi-approach against pigmentation
- Modulating the different phases of pigmentation
- Noticeably improved skin luminosity and skin tone evenness
- ITA° was increased by 15.3% and L* by 2.5% in hyperpigmented areas Hyperpigmented skin showed twice ITAo variation than non hyperpigmented skin.
- Dark spots area is decreased Hyperpigmented areas shrank by 6.9%.
- Melanin content in dark spots diminished by 61.1%
Extract obtained by biotechnology from a marine microorganism isolated from the southwest coast of the Tenerife island (Spain). Brighlette™ marine ingredient acts on multiple stages of the pigmentation process to consistently reduce the deposition of melanin in the epidermis. As a consequence it brightens the skin complexion, especially hyperpigmented spots, greatly contributing to increase evenness.
Brighlette™ marine ingredient showed, in vitro, to modulate several steps involved in skin pigmentation, from the regulation of melanocyte-activating pathways and tyros- inase to the formation of melanosomes and the transfer mechanism to keratinocytes. In addition, an induction of genes involved in DNA repair was found. In vivo, the extract showed a brightening effect and homogenization of skin complexion by reducing the size and contrast of dark spots.

In Vitro Efficacy
In Vivo Efficacy
Improving Skin Radiance
24 African female volunteers (35-50 years old) with skin phototypes V-VI applied a cream with 2% Brighlette™ marine ingredient G or a placebo cream twice a day for 8 weeks.Colorimetric measurements
Luminance (L*) and individual typology angle (ITAo) were measured on the cheek with a spectrophotometer. The higher these parameters, the lighter the skin.
Illuminating and Evening the Skin Complexion
22 Asian female volunteers (38-53 years old) with skin phototypes III-IV and with hyperpigmented regions applied a cream with 2% BrighletteTM marine ingredient or a placebo cream twice a day for 8 weeks.
Increase of L* and ITA° A spectrophotometer was used to assess luminance (L*) and the individual typological angle (ITAo). Also, the contrast between hyperpigmented and non-hyperpigmented skin was calculated to evaluate skin tone evenness.
Size reduction of hyperpigmented spots
Variation in the area of hyperpigmented spots was assessed by image analysis of digital photographs.
Effect on melanin content of dark spots
The amount of melanin on hyperpigmented regions was measured by reflectance confocal microscopy.
