Findings

In an 84-day study of 20 people, amla branch extract at 0.1% concentration improved skin elasticity, hydration, and wrinkle appearance while also lightening skin tone. The extract works by fighting free radicals, blocking the enzyme that triggers melanin production, and protecting collagen-breaking enzymes in skin.
