Summary

Antioxidant Skin Protecting Moisturizing Smoothing Anti-inflammatory Skin Brightening Exfoliating Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions by restoring optimal skin moisture balance, forming a protective barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss. Its anti-inflammatory components effectively reduce redness and soothe irritated skin. Rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and essential vitamins (notably C and B complex), it actively neutralizes free radicals, bolstering skin's defense against oxidative stress and contributing to slower visible signs of aging. Furthermore, it aids in skin brightening by diminishing pigmentation spots and blemishes, supports cellular renewal for improved texture and softness, and offers a mild exfoliating action to remove dead skin cells. While primarily observed with potato peel extract, its constituent compounds such as ascorbic acid and flavonoids are known to stimulate Type I collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, suggesting a potential role in maintaining skin's youthful structure.
