Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through dual pathways: flavonoid compounds neutralize reactive oxygen species while upregulating protective enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase, and polysaccharides provide sustained hydration by mimicking natural moisture factors. Additionally downregulates inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 while helping normalize sebum production for balanced skin function.
