Science
“Energy Whitening” is the new era of skin brightening.
The key to brightening lies within heightening the energy of epidermal cells.
An approach towards epidermal cells.
Originally, melanin works as a parasol to protect cell cores.
Epidermal cells lacking energy tend to accumulate melanin.
POLA believed that an approach towards epidermal cells was necessary to protect cell cores without increasing melanin.
An industry-first PCE-DP* boosts the energy in epidermal cells.
Energy is a basic necessity for humans to survive.
There are two pathways for energy production, and the skin and body use these pathways according to their needs.
PCE-DP maximizes the power for skin brightening by activating citric acid cycles which are hardly utilized by epidermal cells, despite being a fundamental element of humans.
- PCE-DP: Dexpanthenol W
- Rucinol®: 4-n-Butylresorcinol
- Brightening: Suppression of melanin production to prevent pigmentation and freckles (LX, MX suppresses melanin accumulation to prevent pigmentation and freckles)
Science
The aging pigment “lipofuscin” accumulates in the vascular area, which has an impact on our skin tone.
The aging pigment “lipofuscin” tends to especially accumulate in the vascular endothelial cells, as cell generation takes longer there.
As we have a network of blood vessels running throughout our faces, accumulation of “vascular lipofuscin” has a major impact on our skin tone.
*Lipofuscin that accumulates in vascular endothelial cells is called “vascular lipofuscin”
“Vascular lipofuscin” has a double negative effect on the skin, causing a dull complexion and cloudy blood vessels.
(1) Cloudy blood vessels: The brown color of the “vascular lipofuscin” itself affects skin tone.
(2) Dull complexion: “Vascular lipofuscin” deteriorates capillary vessels, causing poor blood circulation that affects complexion.
Skin affected by “vascular lipofuscin” suffers from brown dullness. Overlapping dark melanin and yellow glycation causes stubborn pigmentation which creates the impression of a dark and uneven skin tone.

Science
Another cause, excluding ultraviolet rays was “heat burn”.
Overreaction to UV rays due to high temperatures
The production of melanin in humans is basically regulated by the body, which reduces it at certain times to keep melanin levels in balance.
However, the heat of summer throws this balance into disarray.
Rising temperatures disrupt this “melanin production cycle”, causing the body to continuously produce large amounts of melanin.
At POLA, we call this phenomenon an “overreaction to UV rays during summer.”
Increase of melanin production due to sebum-burn
Skin inflammation caused by increased amounts of sebum due to hot temperatures. This is “sebum-burn”.
It is said that this damage is about the same as that of ultraviolet ray exposure over many hours.
The increase in sebum even diminishes Self-clearing Functions, causing unnecessary accumulation of melanin.
Science
A new discovery. The “self-shielding function” is an inherent power we have that protects our skin from sunburn.
Stimulation from ultraviolet rays during the daytime makes our skin a hotbed for sunburn signals.
Sunburn signals are irritant factors that result in increased amounts of melanin, which cause pigmentation and dullness in the skin.
Ultraviolet rays cause major outbreaks of these irritant factors, which trigger full-blown operation of melanocytes.
This leads to sunburn damage appearing on the skin, such as pigmentation, dullness and an uneven skin tone.
We have discovered that our inherent “self-shielding function” puts a stop to sunburn signals and prevents damage from appearing in the skin.
A multi-protective design which shields the skin from ultraviolet rays, near-infrared rays, micro dust in atmosphere pollution, and blue light. A combination of powders in three different sizes (large, medium and small), shields the skin from the different wavelengths of ultraviolet rays, blue light and near-infrared rays.
Science
The “slide-clearing function” scatters and equates melanin between cells
As a matter of fact, one reason for pigmentation and an uneven skin tone is the uneven distribution of melanin.
Having a large quantity of melanin congregating in one area creates an image of pigmentation and an uneven skin tone.
The “slide-clearing function” is the skin’s original function of scattering melanin across skin cells.
The distribution of melanin is evened out to prevent pigmentation and an uneven skin tone.
