Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient primarily acts as a skin conditioning agent. As a polypeptide structure, it theoretically contributes to stimulating the skin's natural repair mechanisms, which could potentially lead to a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, alongside improvements in overall complexion and elasticity. However, these specific benefits are more broadly associated with peptides as a class rather than definitively proven for this complex.
