Acetyl Oligopeptide-185 Amide

Composition:

INCI name:          Acetyl Oligopeptide-185 Amide

Catalog No.:         YSOLP185

Description:

Acetyl Oligopeptide-185 Amide penetrates through the skin to the basal layer and adheres to MIA protein, preventing it from activating and detaching the melanoctyes.Once the MIA protein is blocked, the melanoctyes stabilise and, through phototherapy (with sunlight and/or artificial UV), depigmented areas can be fully repigmented.

How white patches happen:

1. Melanoctyes secrete MIA protein and trigger the formation of white patches

2. MIA protein detaches the melanocytes from the basal layer

3. The melanocytes come loose and depigmented patches appear
