Mode of Action

UV, pollution, bacterial invasion or any oxidative stress induce the formation of the inflammasome, especially in keratinocyte. Its components are pro-Caspase-1, ASC and NLRP3 which is regulated by the epigenetic factor miRNA 22-3p. This inflammasome triggers and maintains the inflammatory response by cytokines production such as IL-1b. If it gets chronically activated, it causes skin irritation, skin tissue damage and premature aging.

Vitamin B12 maintains healthy skin microbiome


Vitamin B12 fosters the share of beneficial bacteria over non-beneficial skin bacteria. S. Aureus has been drastically reduced with Vitamin B12 while S. epidermidis remains at the same level.
