Science
Mechanism of Action
The protocatechuic acid moiety neutralizes free radicals and reduces inflammatory markers, while the dipeptide-49 component activates cellular repair pathways and enhances moisture retention. This synergistic approach strengthens the skin's natural defense mechanisms against environmental stressors while promoting barrier recovery.
