A New Beginning: Unlock the Power of 377

We are explorers who follow the light,

and co-creators who illuminate one another.

“Future Partners” Take It to the Next Level

SIGHTFUTURE Joins Forces with Symwhite Once Again

to Sign a Strategic Partnership on Symwhite 377 Patent Technology

Every Choice Is a Resolute, Mutual Commitment

In October 2023, SIGHTFUTURE, a brand specializing in scientific skin-whitening research, and Symwhite—

one of the world’s leading ingredient suppliers and the inventor and patent holder* 

of Symwhite 377—signed a new agreement following their previous strategic partnership on 

Symwhite 377 patented technology. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in joint research to 

upgrade 377 technology, driving innovation in the 377 skin-whitening technology developed by Chinese researchers!

*Symwhite377 Chinese Invention Patent No.: ZL200480014939.8

Symrise is one of the world’s largest suppliers of active ingredients for cosmetics, 

possessing robust technical research and ingredient development capabilities. 

Its patented skin-whitening ingredient, SymWhite377, delivers outstanding skin-whitening effects 

and is backed by comprehensive safety data. It is a patented product approved for use by the China 

Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) and is currently the only approved skin-whitening ingredient in China*.

*SymWhite377 was approved as a new cosmetic ingredient by the former State Food 

and Drug Administration in 2012. Its sole approved purpose is skin whitening, 

achieved by inhibiting melanin formation through the action of kojic acid.

This renewed strategic partnership between SIGHTFUTURE and Dezhixin will continue 

to build patented technological barriers for the brand, enabling the creation of differentiated, 

effective products better suited to the Asian market and the skin types of Chinese consumers.

Never ceasing in the pursuit of the optimal solution for 377

Step 1

Entering the Skin-Brightening Market: Dedicated Research into the Skin-Brightening Effects of the 377 Ingredient

As early as 2020, SIGHTFUTURE established its first strategic partnership with T&T’s 

Shanghai Laboratory and its Paris Innovation and R&D Center to jointly develop the skin-brightening ingredient 

“White Moonlight”—Symwhite 377 (phenethyl resorcinol). With this, SIGHTFUTURE officially entered the research 

phase for skin-brightening active ingredients as China’s leading scientific expert on 377.

Step 2

Deconstructing 377 to Redefine Efficacy: The Stage of Combined Application for Skin-Brightening Effects

Building on the momentum of the successful launch of its flagship 377 product, SIGHTFUTURE has 

developed synergistic ingredient combinations led by 377, achieving “multi-pathway, high synergy, 

and strong delivery” in the technological application across multiple dosage forms. 

At the same time, the company has pioneered the 377 Decolorization System, 

overcoming the challenge of poor penetration of skin-brightening ingredients, 

enhancing the bioavailability of skin-brightening agents, and realizing the synergistic 

application of skin-brightening ingredient combinations;

Step 3

Precision Skin-Brightening from the Source to All Channels: 

The Cellular and Molecular Biology Research Phase for Skin-Brightening Efficacy

In cellular and molecular biology research on skin-brightening efficacy, SIGHTFUTURE introduced 

the 377 Spot-Fading Factor to create another skin-brightening and spot-fading 

duo (SIGHTFUTURE Skin-Source Brightening Essence, Essence Water, and Lotion). 

From a molecular and cellular biology perspective, this breakthrough targets the key 

MITF skin-brightening target, directly regulates five skin-brightening signaling pathways, 

and achieves scientifically precise skin brightening.

Step 4

Development of the Exclusive CMF377 Ultra-Efficient Technology

We Are Constantly Pushing Boundaries!

SIGHTFUTURE has deeply explored the field of skin-brightening agent bioavailability, 

insisting that products must be effective, absorbable, highly penetrating, capable of 

strongly breaking down melanin, delivering truly stable brightening results, and 

gentle on the skin—these are the core focuses of our R&D. The SIGHTFUTURE 

research team has never stopped exploring the efficacy of 377. After thousands 

of experiments, we finally screened out 377’s “ideal partner”—an exclusive 

patented fermented sea fennel extract*—from numerous ingredients. Together 

with the GESTRA team, we co-developed the CMF377 Ultra-Effective Brightening 

Technology, further enhancing the product’s bioavailability and maximizing its 

brightening efficacy. This synergy creates a powerful product with an effect where 

1+1 is far greater than 2.

Amid increasingly fierce market competition, SIGHTFUTURE adheres to its 

“Five Rates and One Degree” brightening framework to forge a unique brand advantage, 

standing out in the 377 brightening category. Many products have garnered widespread 

market acclaim upon launch, with sales growing rapidly; this popularity serves as further 

validation of the brand’s true strength. The market’s and consumers’ recognition of 

SIGHTFUTURE’s product excellence serves as a solid foundation for the brand to continue 

building its strength through scientific research and craftsmanship. This enables SIGHTFUTURE 

to cultivate strong confidence as a leading Chinese skincare brand dedicated to efficacy while 

constantly surpassing its own limits.

Moving forward, SIGHTFUTURE will continue to strengthen its in-depth collaboration with the 

Dezhixin team. We will continue to combine the brand’s insights into Chinese consumers’ 

skin-brightening needs, innovative product concepts, research on the mechanisms of skin 

pigmentation in Chinese individuals, and expertise in formulation applications with Dezhixin’s 

leading technology and extensive experience in the development of skin-brightening ingredients. 

Together, we will explore ingredient innovations and technological breakthroughs in the field of skin 

brightening to bring Chinese consumers more effective and targeted scientific skin-brightening solutions. 

At the same time, we hope to shoulder the important mission of bringing “Made in China” to the world, 

participate in the global discourse on skincare science, and establish a healthier, more scientific, and more 

comprehensive skin tone management system.
