PRODUCT DATA


Upon application, the serum delivers a multi-layered renewal and hydration effect. Bidens Pilosa extract modulates keratinocyte and fibroblast activity, promoting controlled epidermal turnover and stimulating collagen synthesis to reduce fine lines. The multi-weight hyaluronic acid complex penetrates both superficial and deeper epidermal layers, restoring hydration, improving elasticity, and supporting barrier function. Aloe juice and jojoba oil provide immediate humectant and emollient support, maintaining optimal lipid balance and enhancing skin pliability. Simultaneously, rose myrtle extract exerts antioxidant protection, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and supporting tone uniformity. The combined effects of these actives synergistically reinforce epidermal resilience, improve visual smoothness, and maintain a hydrated, radiant, and youthful appearance without irritation.
