Science & Benefits

Saccharomyces/Viscum Album Ferment Extract is a medicinal-grade active created by fermenting Mistletoe. This fermentation process breaks down complex plant lectins into bio-available peptides that stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and skin repair. As a humectant, it provides a unique moisture-binding effect that is particularly useful for healing 'raw' or over-exfoliated acne-prone skin. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. Its ability to accelerate the repair of the dermal-epidermal junction makes it a high-value 'recovery' active for users who have damaged their skin barrier through aggressive acne treatments.
