Korean Beauty Products Featuring Pearl

Its Touted For Its Ability To Brighten, Firm And Refine Skin…

But do Korean Beauty products featuring pearl actually work and who should use them?

What Is Pearl Extract?

What began as a popular cosmetic ingredient in China hundreds of years ago spread to a wide variety of skincare products.

Pearl extract is a made from the powder of the pearls themselves. If you’re wondering why not all beauty products featuring pearl are as expensive as the rocks themselves the answer is simple – pearl products come in a range of grades and varieties. The ones in skincare products are suited to the individual price points of the products.

Why Is Pearl Extract Beneficial In Skincare Products?

Pearls are made up of a variety of polysaccharides, proteins, minerals and proteins. Many of these are also beneficial for the skin. In terms of the cosmetic benefits of products containing pearls, they may offer:

• oil control
• anti-ageing and rejuvenation
• exfoliating and anti-acne benefits
• brightening

Oil-Control:

Pearl extract can offer oil control benefits, preventing clogging of the pores and assisting to keep pesky pimples at bay.

Anti-Ageing Benefits:

The antioxidants in pearls may also assist to reduce free radicals in the skin. This plays a role in preventing skin damage and promoting cell turnover. Taurine, an amino acid solution in pearls can assist to regenerate skin skin cells, and the polyacrylic acid solution within pearls can work to nourish skin.

Anti-acne Benefits

Pearl extracts may assist to eliminate contaminants from the skin and work as an exfoliant to clear impurities. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that can decrease the redness caused by acne and inflammation.

Skin Brightening

Pearl extract brightens skin because it contains light-reflecting crystals made of guanine and hypoxanthine.
