Polynucleotides are highly-purified DNA molecules extracted from fish.when injected into the skin they reach the cells called fibroblasts, which is responsible for the formation of connective tissue through their ability to produce collagen and helps maintain skin’s firm structure. As we age, collagen production declines, which is why our skin gets saggy and more wrinkled. Polynucleotides stimulate the fibroblasts to produce more collagen, leading to firmer & smoother skin.
