Science

Mechanism of Action

Pyrus Malus Juice functions as a humectant by attracting moisture to the skin through its natural sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose), promoting hydration and a smoother texture. Its robust antioxidant profile, including vitamins A, C, E, and polyphenols, actively combats free radical damage and environmental stressors, which helps mitigate visible signs of aging. The inherent malic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), provides mild exfoliation, enhancing cell turnover for a brighter and more even complexion. Additionally, components like quercetin deliver anti-inflammatory benefits, while malic and gallic acids, along with other phytochemicals, contribute to its antibacterial properties and act as a natural toner to help regulate oil production and refine pores.
