Q2: What are the key efficacy benefits of ZLEY®MPCA-Menthyl PCA?
ZLEY®MPCA-Menthyl PCA interacts with enzymes on the skin, undergoing slow hydrolysis to gradually release menthol and the natural moisturizing factor PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid). This not only activates the skin’s cold receptor TRPM8, delivering a lasting, soothing, and cooling sensation that reduces skin heat perception, but also provides natural moisturizing benefits. It gently calms and refreshes the skin without causing irritation.
