Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient actively mitigates cortisol-induced collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) degradation by modulating related gene expression and inhibiting the nuclear translocation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This action stimulates skin regeneration, effectively slowing the aging process and restoring skin elasticity and tone. It forms a protective, soothing layer against environmental damage and dryness, improving skin moisture. For oily or acne-prone complexions, it reduces sebum production, combats shine, and exerts antibacterial effects to prevent breakouts. Furthermore, Iris Pallida Root Oil provides anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits, assisting in treating irritated skin conditions and facilitating wound healing, while also helping to purify the skin.
