ViewBGT™ 9-P1
BGT™ 9-P1 is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to inhibit melanin synthesis by interfering with the action of tyrosinase in melanocytes.

By blocking the α-MSH from binding to receptors on melanocytes, BGT™ 9-P1 prevents further activation of the tyrosinase receptor, reducing hyperpigmentation and lightening areas damaged by sun exposure and certain diseases. Clinically, it shows a significant whitening effect on Asians, has no cytotoxicity, and does not affect melanocyte function, making it an ideal skin whitening agent effective in controlling poor skin tone and age spots.
