About QFC
QFC (Acetylglutaminoyl Farnesylcysteine)
QFC is an advanced bioactive molecule with strong antioxidant properties, developed to protect the skin against oxidative stress while supporting skin hydration.
The ingredient stimulates the production of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a protective enzyme that plays an important role in the skin's natural stress response. HO-1 helps break down certain pigment degradation products that can contribute to dark circles under the eyes.
Through this biological activity, QFC supports:
- protection against oxidative damage
- improvement of skin hydration
- reduction of visibly tired eye contours
The result is an ingredient that helps keep the skin around the eyes brighter, better hydrated, and more balanced.
