Hydrolyzed Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract

Science & Benefits

This extract contains specialized oligosaccharides that stimulate the activity of Cathepsin D and other endogenous desquamation enzymes. This process facilitates biological exfoliation, clearing the 'dead cell' buildup that leads to microcomedones without the use of acids. Simultaneously, it acts as an intensive humectant that provides a significant 'plumping' effect. It is entirely non-comedogenic and is the ideal 'acid-free' resurfacing agent for individuals with acne-prone skin and a severely compromised or hypersensitive barrier.
