WORESANA® ama reduces dark spots by specifically inhibiting melanogenesis

Back

Scientifically proven support for an even and radiant complexion

Pigment spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone are among the most common skin changes associated with aging and UV exposure. These changes are caused by excessive melanin production, which is regulated by various biological signaling pathways. This is exactly where WORESANA® ama comes in.

Recent study results show that WORESANA® ama specifically influences melanogenesis—that is, the formation of melanin—and can thereby reduce the development of hyperpigmentation. Particularly noteworthy is the significant inhibition of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), a key regulator of melanin production.

 

The study found that WORESANA® ama reduces MC1R expression by 52%. This inhibits the activation of melanogenesis and limits the formation of excess pigments. The result: The appearance of age spots, UV-induced pigmentation, and an uneven complexion can be visibly reduced.

For cosmetics developers, WORESANA® ama thus opens up new possibilities for formulating modern brightening and skin-toning products. This fermented active ingredient is ideal for serums, daytime skincare products, anti-aging formulations, and products designed to promote an even and radiant complexion.

With its targeted effect on melanogenesis, WORESANA® ama offers a scientifically proven approach to reducing dark spots and promoting an even complexion—for visibly more radiant skin and a more harmonious complexion.
