What it is
Flavone from Passiflora caerulea and propolis; inhibits aromatase (CYP19A1) reducing local oestrogen conversion in subcutaneous fat; explored in topical formulations targeting periorbital dark circles as oestrogen contributes to haemoglobin deposition in periocular vasculature; anti-inflammatory via NF-κB pathway; antioxidant and mild tyrosinase-inhibiting; skin penetration requires cyclodextrin or liposomal delivery in most applications; topical evidence base is limited.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
