What it is
3-methyl ether metabolite of quercetin formed in vivo by COMT-mediated methylation; more lipophilic than parent quercetin, enabling greater membrane permeability in skin cells; direct antioxidant, photoprotective (absorbs UV-A at ~360 nm), and NF-κB inhibitor; inhibits melanogenesis at the transcriptional level by reducing MITF and tyrosinase expression; found in sea-buckthorn and gorse extracts commonly listed in brightening formulations; frequently co-present with quercetin and kaempferol in plant extracts.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
