Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a biological architect, targeting up to ten distinct types of collagen—including critical types I, III, IV, and VII—to reinforce the skin's structural scaffolding. Beyond collagen synthesis, it encourages the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid while providing gentle enzymatic exfoliation to smooth texture and mitigating the oxidative stress caused by blue light exposure.
