Science

Mechanism of Action

The extract functions as a potent antioxidant, effectively inhibiting oxygen-promoted reactions and preventing ingredient deterioration within formulations and oxidative stress in the skin. It has been indicated to inhibit lipoxygenase activity, which can lead to a reduction in sebum production, making it beneficial for oily skin types. Furthermore, it may inhibit MMP-1 activity, aiding in the reduction of visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and overall aged skin appearance. The extract can also inhibit tyrosinase activity, which helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmented skin, sun spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone. These actions are attributed in part to the presence of polyphenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid.
