([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))

- Apigenin protects against UVA-induced cytotoxicity and senescence in normal human dermal fibroblasts, decreases MMP-1 expression, and when applied topically as a cream in human subjects, increases dermal density and elasticity while reducing fine wrinkle length, skin evenness, moisture content, and transepidermal water loss compared to control cream. ([International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27279007/))

## How to apply

- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin feels fine.

- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏱absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
- Applying the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin helps your face absorb it better. This keeps your oily skin balanced and hydrated.

### What does Sea Grape Caviar do for oily acne-prone skin?
