Thiamidol is a synthetic skin lightening ingredient that has been gaining popularity due to its potent tyrosinase inhibition capabilities. It is believed to be as powerful, if not more, than hydroquinone without the safety concerns associated with it. 馃専
Unlike hydroquinone, which is only available by prescription in the US, thiamidol is accessible over-the-counter, making it a more convenient option for those dealing with hyperpigmentation and melasma. 馃洅
Thiamidol works by preventing the formation of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, and can also fade existing hyperpigmentation. Its unique structure includes resorcinol, thool, and amide, which contribute to its effectiveness and safety profile. 馃К
