Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
Science & Benefits
Chlorella Vulgaris is a nutrient-dense microalgae rich in amino acids like lysine and proline, which are essential building blocks for collagen synthesis. In topical applications, it acts as a restorative humectant that supports the skin’s structural integrity, helping to firm the skin and refine the appearance of pores. Its unique 'Chlorella Growth Factor' aids in rapid cellular repair, facilitating the healing of post-acne lesions. While it carries a minimal comedogenic rating of 1 due to its mineral density, it is generally considered safe and highly beneficial for acne-prone skin that requires both hydration and metabolic support to recover from inflammatory damage.
