Pidobenzone is a topical depigmenting agent used in skincare to treat hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma and age spots. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thereby reducing the formation of pigment. Pidobenzone is valued for its efficacy in evening skin tone and improving the appearance of dark patches, contributing to a more uniform complexion.
