The Research
In human skin, multiple enzymes work together to repair DNA damage. DNA repair occurs in three main steps, the first identifies and removes the damaged section of DNA, the second synthesizes replacement DNA, and then finally the DNA strand is sealed. This process is extremely fast and is happening constantly throughout the body, including our skin, which suffers DNA damage caused by the sun and pollution.

Approved for all 16 Baumann Skin Types, except the Stinging and Allergic sensitive subtypes.
