Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by significantly enhancing the skin's inherent moisturizing capacity. It actively stimulates the endogenous production of hyaluronic acid (HA), a crucial molecule responsible for retaining skin moisture. This process contributes to a smoother skin texture, effectively reducing surface roughness, and also serves as a general skin conditioning agent.
