Abstract:

The mechanism of skin melanin formation is closely related to the study of whitening. Therefore, the formation mechanism of skin melanin and its regulation at the cellular level were reviewed. The intervention mechanism of melanin, including the synthesis pathway, transportation pathway, decomposition and metabolism, and the intervention and regulation of internal and external factors were also deeply analyzed. Finally, the future research trend of skin melanin was prospected.

Key words: whitening efficacy evaluation, melanin, formation mechanism, intervention mechanism
