Also Known As
Paeonia albiflora
What It Does
Peonies have gentle antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that fight against free radicals and promote cell regeneration. Peonies reduce inflammation, moisturize, brighten, and firm the skin.
Why It Works
Peony root extract functions similarly to tocopherol (vitamin E) in that it neutralizes free radical damage, and prevents oxidative stress. Peonies also contain another compound called paeonol that is anti-inflammatory, and reduces inflammation and redness in the skin.
