Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract revitalizes the skin's architecture by restoring mitochondrial dynamism and boosting cellular energy levels. By stimulating the synthesis of essential collagen and elastin fibers while inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, it effectively protects the dermal matrix from enzymatic degradation and oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species.
