What it is
Hexahydroxylated flavonol with high radical-scavenging capacity attributable to the trihydroxy B-ring pattern; copper-chelating tyrosinase inhibitor showing stronger enzyme inhibition than kojic acid in cell-free assays; anti-inflammatory via COX and LOX inhibition; antimicrobial properties relevant to acne-related inflammatory skin; high polyphenol hydroxylation confers pro-oxidant risk at elevated concentrations, which limits formulation use to typically below 1%.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
