EnglishDioxybenzone + Hydroquinone + Octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate + Oxybenzone
The combination of Dioxybenzone, Hydroquinone, Octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate, and Oxybenzone belongs to the class of drugs known as skin lightening agents. Each component works through different mechanisms of action to achieve its desired effects.
- Dioxybenzone: It is a sunscreen agent that helps to protect the skin from harmful UVB and UVA rays.
- Hydroquinone: It is a depigmenting agent that inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
- Octyldimethyl p-aminobenzoate: It is an additional sunscreen agent that provides protection against UVB rays.
- Oxybenzone: It is a sunscreen agent that absorbs UVA and UVB rays, preventing them from penetrating the skin.
