Abstract		D-penicillamine is a melanogenesis inhibitor. This in vivo study on ten black guinea pigs using a 5% -penicillamine ointment showed its lack of any skin-lightening effect. The potential reasons for this ineffectiveness are discussed in the paper, which could be very helpful for researchers exploring new skin-lightening agents.
