Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a synergistic complex of Vitamin C and specialized flavonoids, specifically hesperidin, sinensetin, and anthocyanins. These compounds neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit inflammatory pathways, while limonene fractions assist in soothing the dermal matrix and accelerating barrier lipid regeneration.
