How it works

  1. Copper-dependent lysyl oxidase for collagen crosslinking

    Using copper as a helper, it activates an enzyme that links collagen fibers together, making skin and tissue stronger.

  2. Upregulates collagen, elastin, GAG synthesis

    It boosts production of three key building blocks of healthy skin and connective tissue.

  3. Activates wound repair gene networks

    It switches on groups of genes responsible for coordinating the wound-healing process.

  4. Antioxidant via SOD activation

    It activates one of the body's key defenses against cell-damaging free radicals.

  5. Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines

    It reduces the chemical signals that drive excess inflammation.

Result

Firmer, more resilient skin and faster wound healing, driven by increased collagen production. Visibly, this often shows up as smoother, more elastic-feeling skin, fewer fine lines, and quicker fading of cuts, scars, or blemishes.
