Science
Mechanism of Action
As Sym3D, this ingredient operates by influencing the underlying skin structure, specifically increasing both the number and size of adipocytes (fat cells). This action facilitates enhanced lipid uptake and accumulation within these cells, contributing to a plumping effect, particularly beneficial for lip volume, and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, it demonstrates antioxidative activity and supports the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid.

Verdict
