The innovation that illuminates skin: Eastern tradition meets modern science
In Chinese culture, the Dragon represents luck, while the Peony symbolizes beauty, happiness, and prosperity. AKOACTIVE™ DRAGON originates from this powerful combination: an active ingredient that unites the oily extract of Peony flowers with 4-Butylresorcinol, a highly effective brightening molecule. The result is a unique cosmetic ingredient, designed to provide visibly more luminous and even skin.
The causes of dark spots and the natural efficacy of AKOACTIVE™ DRAGON
Skin dyschromias are often the result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. AKOACTIVE™ DRAGON acts on these imperfections in a targeted way: the Peony extract, rich in flavonoids and anthocyanins, offers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while 4-Butylresorcinol stands out for its ability to inhibit tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin production. Studies demonstrate that this synergy reduces the cellular toxicity of 4-Butylresorcinol by 50%, increasing skin tolerability.
The results of the clinical study: clearer and more uniform skin
A clinical study on 20 volunteers with dark spots showed significant results after 56 days of treatment with a cream containing 1% AKOACTIVE™ DRAGON. Instrumental data showed:
- A 16% reduction in the visibility of dark spots.
- A 12% decrease in melanin content in the treated areas.
- A 25% improvement in the contrast between spots and skin tone.
- 85% of participants observed a visible improvement in skin, with a more uniform and radiant tone.
- Below are images of the improvements observed in volunteers between day 0 and day 56 of treatment:
