Science
Mechanism of Action
This rye seed extract, primarily rich in arabinoxylans, enhances the skin's inherent mechanical resistance and effectively reduces the appearance of gravity-induced wrinkles. It acts as an 'internal skin tensor' by stimulating mechanoreceptors and alpha-SMA fibers, which are critical for maintaining mechanical tension within dermal tissue. Furthermore, it boosts the activation of YAP and TAZ proteins, key mediators for robust mechanical continuity between the dermis and epidermis. Beyond these firming actions, the extract offers hydration, improves elasticity, and provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to soften the skin's uppermost layer.
