Wrinkles and sagging of the skin are reduced thanks to it’s astringency, which tightens and tones.

It’s a cytophylactic, which means it encourages the recycling of dead cells and regeneration of new cells. This, along with its ability to stimulate blood circulation, make it an effective scarring and pigmentation treatment, whilst promoting equal distribution of melanin (skin’s pigment).
