How it works ?

Pure Light Chinese peony: regulating the main processes involved in skins with hyper seborrhea.

 

Pure Light Chinese peony acts on different levels of epidermis before and after the phenomena of sebum surproduction by the sebaceous glands. First, it limits the quantity of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase, which is at the origin of the activity of the hormon responsible for the production of sebum. To avoid the desquamation of the epidermis in its surface, it reinforces the water circuit and the water storing in the epidermis. At last, it limits the release of IL-6, the inflammation mediator and the substance P, a neuropeptide, that appear when sebum is produced, and, it improves cell respiration, that induces the elimination of toxins.

 

Thanks to those actions, skin gets back its balance and its function: the general protection of body.
