PHRAGMITES COMMUNIS ROOT EXTRACT.

This extract functions as a potent antioxidant, effectively neutralizing free radicals to mitigate signs of premature aging. It enhances skin hydration and reduces irritation by contributing to the restoration of the skin barrier and alleviating feelings of tightness. The ingredient supports natural skin cell regeneration, bolstering the skin's inherent resilience, and is noted for its ability to balance the skin's microbiome. Its anti-aging actions include suppressing hyperpigmentation, contributing to wrinkle reduction, and alleviating dryness. Furthermore, it provides photoprotection against UVB-mediated photodamage by downregulating matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1) expression and elastase activity, while upregulating telomerase reverse transcriptase and hyaluronan synthase-2 expressions. It also suppresses melanin production and tyrosinase activity, promoting a more even and brighter complexion, and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects.
