Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through enzyme inhibition and protein synthesis stimulation - specifically blocks collagenase and elastase activity that breaks down dermal matrix proteins, while simultaneously promoting elastin, collagen, and involucrin production. Additionally provides cellular protection against oxidative stress and glycation damage through its concentrated phenolic content.
