Science

Mechanism of Action

This complex ferment functions primarily as an advanced skin conditioning agent, working to maintain optimal skin health. Its Lactobacillus component is particularly noted for acting as a DNA repair enzyme, shielding the skin from environmental stressors, and exhibiting both anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. These actions are vital for fostering a healthy and balanced skin microflora. Furthermore, the broader benefits associated with fermented milk products, such as kefir, suggest contributions to improved skin elasticity, enhanced moisture retention, and a potential in addressing signs of aging like wrinkles and laxity.
