Science
Mechanism of Action
Undaria Peterseniana Extract is understood to reduce visible signs of skin aging by stimulating adipogenesis and lipogenesis, which contribute to dermal volume. Furthermore, it promotes the production of essential structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, and supports the overall extracellular matrix, with evidence suggesting it can upregulate 14 genes linked to collagen and elastin synthesis.
