Science
Mechanism of Action
This ferment functions primarily as a humectant, proactively drawing and binding moisture within the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss and maintain hydration, thus promoting a smoother texture and mitigating dryness. It is posited to address signs of aging, promote skin firmness, and restore a luminous complexion, potentially by supporting the integrity of the dermal-epidermal junction. As a postbiotic-like compound, its action may involve direct cellular interaction or the modulation of the skin's beneficial microbiota and inhibition of pathogenic species, potentially aiding in inflammation reduction.
