What Are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are natural compounds found in certain plants and herbs that help them survive in harsh environments. When applied to skincare, these same properties provide your skin with resilience against environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV exposure. Here’s how they work:

Stress defense strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, making it more resilient to daily aggressors. Hydration boost enhances moisture retention, keeping your skin plump and radiant. Even skin tone is achieved through brightening properties that help reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Anti-aging benefits come from antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, a major cause of premature aging.

Adaptogens deliver a holistic approach to skincare, promoting balance and harmony, just as they do within the body. Let’s dive into some of the superstar adaptogens featured in Adaptogenique products.
