Science

Mechanism of Action

DMAE Tartrate is believed to operate by stabilizing cellular membranes, which contributes to a visible skin firming effect. It also acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect skin from oxidative stress. Some theories suggest a role in influencing muscle contractions through neurotransmitter pathways, leading to a temporary tightening sensation.
