4-Butyl resorcinol is a derivative of resorcinol, which has certain cytotoxicity and whitening effect, and is a prohibited whitening ingredient. However, 4-Butyl resorcinol is usually non-toxic and harmless to skin after structural change. However, some people have skin intolerance to 4-butyl resorcinol, so when using it, tolerance should be gradually established, otherwise the face will appear red, swelling and other allergic phenomena. In addition, the action principle of 4-butyl resorcinol is to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase before the formation of melanin, and promote the secretion of melanin to decrease. When melanin is formed, 4-butyl resorcinol will inhibit the transfer of melanin to keratinocytes, thus achieving whitening effect. In addition, 4-butyl resorcinol is a small molecule compound, which is easy to penetrate into the basal layer of the skin and has a fast action rate. Adhering to the use of 4-butyl resorcinol for a long time will also play a certain role in weakening the aging spots, and at the same time can also weaken the acne marks caused by melanosis.

Resorcinol effect
1. Inhibition of melanin production and transfer: before the formation of melanin, 4-butyl resorcinol can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and reduce the secretion of melanin. Even the production of melanin can also well inhibit the transfer of melanin to the epidermis.
2. Spot lightening effect: 4-butyl resorcinol is a small molecule compound, which can penetrate into the bottom of the skin. It can play the role of spot lightening if used persistently for a long time.
