Decapeptide-12 (Topical) – Skin Brightening Peptide 200 mg
Decapeptide-12 is a specialized cosmetic peptide formulated to support skin-tone correction, brightening, and hyperpigmentation reduction.
Developed by dermatology researchers, Decapeptide-12 works by targeting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping to visibly reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone over time.
At West Lab Chemicals, we offer 99 % pure, lab-tested Decapeptide-12 in 200 mg topical vials—ideal for formulation into brightening serums, corrective creams, and post-inflammatory pigmentation care products.
What Is Decapeptide-12?
Decapeptide-12 is a synthetic sequence of ten amino acids originally developed to inhibit melanin formation.
It is derived from a fragment of the tyrosinase enzyme and functions as a competitive inhibitor, meaning it helps regulate melanin synthesis at the enzymatic level.
This targeted mechanism makes it a sought-after ingredient in cosmeceutical skin-lightening and brightening formulations, especially for those with hyperpigmentation, age spots, or melasma.
