Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates by scavenging free radicals, thereby protecting skin cells from oxidative stress. Its anti-inflammatory action involves the reduction of inflammation and specific inhibition of PGE2 production via COX-2 pathways. As an astringent, it helps to tighten and refine the skin's surface, potentially reducing the visibility of pores. Furthermore, it is believed to promote regeneration and repair processes, offers antibacterial defense, and anecdotally contributes to a more uniform and bright skin tone by addressing dark spots.
