Ingredient breakdown

Turmeric Extract
Limited evidence
Commonly used as an antioxidant/anti-inflammatory botanical extract. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial found a topical curcumin gel reduced pain and inflammation-related symptoms when applied to joints, demonstrating real topical anti-inflammatory activity for curcumin — though this trial evaluated joint pain rather than skin-specific outcomes, so direct skin-efficacy human trial data for turmeric extract remains limited.
