Proanthocyanidin has a lightening effect on ultraviolet-induced skin pigmentation, it is demonstrated that Proanthocyanidin is effective in lightening the UV-induced pigmentation of guinea pig skin. This effect may be related to the inhibition of melanin synthesis by tyrosinase in melanocytes and the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related proliferation of melanocytes and also may show identical results on the human skin pigmentation such as melasma. These data suggest that Proanthocyanidins extract may be useful as a skin whitening agent when taken orally.
Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins have been studied for a long time and demonstrated various phytopharmaceutical applications. The objectives of this study were to assess the cutaneous lightening and anti-aging effects of Proanthocyanidins after 56 days of consumption, in healthy Asian women. The cosmetic efficacy of the product was assessed through various biometrological evaluations. Phenolic compounds, Flavonoids, and Proanthocyanidins from plants are responsible for the antioxidative activities of herbal products.
