    Thus, exact knowledge on enzyme inhibition Thus, exact knowledge on enzyme inhibition mechanisms is helpful for designing new mechanisms is helpful for designing new whitening products based on targeting the whitening products based on targeting the key enzyme of melanogenesis, tyrosinasekey enzyme of melanogenesis, tyrosinase. . key enzyme of melanogenesis, tyrosinasekey enzyme of melanogenesis, tyrosinase. . Although tyrosinase plays a major role in Although tyrosinase plays a major role in melanin synthesis, one should realize that the melanin synthesis, one should realize that the regulation of skin pigmentation exists at regulation of skin pigmentation exists at various levels and therefore, different modes various levels and therefore, different modes of interference are possible. There are of interference are possible. There are indications that combined approaches could indications that combined approaches could be more successful than targeting tyrosinase be more successful than targeting tyrosinase only.only.
