    • Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of unsaturated fatty acids on ultraviolet-induced hyperpigmentation of the skin. [...] Key Result An efficient lightening effect was observed following topical application of linoleic acid or α-linolenic acid to UV-stimulated hyperpigmented dorsal skin of brownish guinea pigs.Expand Abstract
