SACCHAROMYCES/RICE SPROUT FERMENT FILTRATE.

Derived from the fermentation of rice with yeast, this filtrate enriches the skin with essential nutrients and potent antioxidants. It functions to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity, texture, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a natural antioxidant, it effectively neutralizes free radicals, mitigating premature skin aging. The ingredient contains valuable polysaccharides and peptides that nourish and maintain skin moisture, alongside amino acids like glycine and proline, which are key components of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs). It activates aquaporin 3 (AQP3) expression, significantly enhancing the skin's capacity for active water absorption. Polysaccharides such as β-glucan bolster skin barrier function by stimulating tight junction protein synthesis. Furthermore, it supports skin immunity, promotes natural exfoliation, encourages new cell growth, and improves microcirculation, contributing to a healthier complexion. Its ability to reduce pore visibility and oil production makes it beneficial for acne-prone skin, serving as both a humectant and a skin conditioning agent.
