Undecyl phenylalanine (MoreWhite UP) is a white powder. It is a structural analog of α-MSH. By competitively binding melanin-stimulating hormone receptor MC1-R on melanocytes, melanocytes can not produce tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting melanocyte activity and reducing melanin production.
According to some clinical trials, Undecyl phenylalanine (More White UP) does reduce the spots formed by pigmentation.
