Science

Mechanism of Action

This dual-component ingredient delivers profound and sustained hydration by actively drawing and retaining moisture within skin cells, utilizing natural osmoprotective compounds such as 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), potassium, starches, and sugars. Its potent antioxidant activity provides defense against environmental stressors, pollution, and free radicals. Additionally, it offers anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits to mitigate redness and irritation. The Saccharomyces ferment component further stimulates cellular regeneration, potentially optimizing the absorption of other active ingredients, and contributes to enhanced collagen synthesis, fortifying the skin's natural barrier. This comprehensive action leads to improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and firmness, and can also assist in balancing sebum production.
