What it is
Citrus flavanone aglycone; direct antioxidant via catechol ring electron donation; inhibits tyrosinase and DOPA oxidase activity in cell-free and melanocyte culture assays, suggesting melanogenesis-moderating potential; anti-inflammatory via AMPK activation and reduction of NF-κB nuclear translocation; topical evidence is limited to in vitro and early animal studies; often combined with other citrus flavonoids in antioxidant preparations targeting uneven skin tone and oxidative load.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
