LYCIUM CHINENSE FRUIT/ROOT EXTRACT.

This extract is exceptionally rich in diverse antioxidants, including vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, carotenoids (such as lycopene and zeaxanthin), and polysaccharides. These compounds effectively neutralize free radicals and impede lipid peroxidation, thereby safeguarding the skin from oxidative stress and mitigating premature aging. Its inherent anti-inflammatory properties are crucial for reducing skin irritation, redness, and sensitivity. Lycium Chinense Fruit/Root Extract stimulates collagen synthesis, which contributes to enhanced skin elasticity and firmness, and activates cellular renewal processes to promote overall skin regeneration. The polysaccharides and natural sugars significantly boost the skin's water retention, providing substantial hydration beneficial for dry and dehydrated conditions. Furthermore, its natural content of vitamin C and carotenoids aids in refining skin tone and delivering brightening effects. The root extract specifically targets hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin synthesis through the down-regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathways, alongside its intracellular antioxidant capabilities. Additionally, it offers protective action against photoaging and various environmental damages.
