USE OF BIOTIN OR A BIOTIN DERIVATIVE FOR LIGHTENING SKIN AND TREATING AGE SPOTS

摘要

Biotin exhibits a surprisingly high skin lightening effect when it is administered together with vitamin C or a vitamin C derivative. Claimed is the use of biotin alone, preferably however with vitamin C or a derivative thereof, for the preparation of a cosmetic composition or of a pharmaceutical composition for skin lightening purposes, for the elimination of skin colour irregularities and for the treatment of senile lentigines.
