For that, Melanotan 1 and melanotan 2 are responsible for increasing the production of Melanin pigment in the body as these medicines stimulate peptide hormone that is Alpha-MSH.
Exposure of ultraviolet (UV) light increases the level of Alpha-MSH which in return increase the level of Melanin in the skin the more the Melanin is produced in the skin, the faster the skin appearance gets darker.
