摘要
Synopsis Skin-lightening products are commercially available for cosmetic purposes to obtain lighter skin complexion. Clinically, they are also used for treatment of hyperpigmentary disorders such as melasma, cafe au lait spot and solar lentigo. All of these target naturally melanin production, and many of the commonly used agents are known as competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase, one of the key enzymes in melanogenesis. In this review, we present an overview of commonly used skin-whitening ingredients that are commercialized, but we also hypothesize on other mechanisms that could be important targets to control skin pigmentation such as for example regulation of the adrenergic and glutaminergic signalling and also control of tetrahydrobiopterins in the human skin.Resume Les produits eclaircissants sont disponibles dans le commerce pour des buts cosmetiques afin d'obtenir un tient plus clair. Ils sont egalement utilises en clinique, pour le traitement de troubles hyper pigmentaires comme le melasma, les taches cafe au lait et le lentigo solaire. Tous ces produits ont pour cible la production naturelle de melanine et beaucoup de ceux generalement utilises sont reconnus comme des inhibiteurs competitifs de la tyrosinase, une des enzymes cles de la melanogenese. Dans cette revue, nous presentons une vue d'ensemble des ingredients generalement utilises et commercialises comme blanchissant cutanes mais nous formulons aussi l'hypothese que d'autres mecanismes pourraient etre des cibles importantes pour controler la pigmentation de la peau comme par exemple la regulation du signal adrenergique et glutaminergique ou le controle des tetrahydrobiopterines dans la peau humaine.
