What it is
Methyl chalcone derivative of hesperidin (citrus flavanone glycoside); improved transcutaneous penetration compared with parent hesperidin due to altered polarity; venotonic — strengthens capillary walls by inhibiting hyaluronidase and elastase acting on vessel endothelium; supports microcirculation and reduces visible redness from capillary fragility; used in formulations targeting periorbital dark circles, rosacea-related redness, and fragile capillary patterns; anti-oedema properties support use in decongesting eye-area products.
