Lycopus Lucidus Extract

Product Description

1. Molecular Definition Layer: Lycopus Lucidus Extract contains phenolic acids, flavonoids, and iridoid glycosides that interact with skin lipid metabolism and inflammatory signaling pathways.

2. Cellular Mechanism Layer: It modulates sebocyte activity, regulates NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling, and supports keratinocyte homeostasis under excess sebum and oxidative stress conditions.

3. Functional Translation Layer: It translates into improved sebum balance, reduced inflammatory skin response, and enhanced skin clarity and surface stability.
