GANODERMA LUCIDUM/SALIX GRACILISTYLA STEM FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE.

This ingredient primarily functions through the antioxidant capabilities of its Ganoderma Lucidum component, which is rich in triterpenes, polyphenolic acids, and vitamins. These compounds effectively neutralize free radicals, mitigating oxidative stress and thereby supporting the stability of collagen and elastin networks. It also demonstrates an ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity, contributing to a reduction in skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, the extract exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by potentially modulating histamine release, aiding in the reduction of redness and itchiness. It promotes re-epithelialization for improved wound healing and protects keratinocytes from free-radical injury, while simultaneously inhibiting skin extracellular matrix degradation enzymes like collagenase and elastase to maintain skin firmness.
