Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by delivering low molecular weight peptides, which can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Here, it actively aids in the restoration of damaged cells and bolsters their structural integrity. Acting as a humectant, it efficiently attracts and retains moisture, thereby improving skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. Furthermore, it contributes to harmonizing the skin's natural pH balance and establishes a protective barrier, enhancing overall skin health and resilience against external aggressors.
