Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates through several key mechanisms on the skin, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. Its anti-aging efficacy is attributed to inhibiting DNA damage and scavenging DPPH radicals, while skin brightening results from 8-11% tyrosinase inhibition. Eichhornia Crassipes Water also functions as a moisturizing agent and may assist in managing comedones and acne, potentially enhancing microcirculation due to its composition of sterols, phenolics, flavonoids, and saponins.
