Next-Gen Hero Ingredient For Preventative Skincare
ACEROLA CHERRY FERMENT™
Great skin ages well when it’s cared for early. Acerola Cherry Ferment™ (ACF) is designed to protect what’s already there by helping preserve skin structure.
This next-generation, dual-activity ingredient is created by fermenting a vitamin C–rich superfruit with Lactobacillus plantarum through a water-only, all-natural process. The result is a high-efficacy bioactive that defends collagen and elastin from sugar-induced damage while delivering antioxidant performance that surpasses traditional vitamin C.
By slowing glycation-related aging before it starts, ACF helps maintain skin’s resilience and vitality–offering a proactive solution for preventative anti-aging skincare. We call it Prejuvination: care that prevents damage before it occurs.

Prevents Sugar-Induced Skin Damage by 36%
Acerola Cherry Ferment™ (ACF) reduces glycation—the key process behind skin aging—by 36% in 28 days, protecting collagen and elastin from sugar-induced damage to help maintain firm, resilient skin. Glycation leads to harmful compounds called Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), which weaken skin firmness and cause dullness. By blocking AGE buildup, ACF supports lasting skin health through proactive, preventative care. Contact us to view the results in the Material Data Sheet.
What is Glycation
Glycation occurs when sugars like glucose bind to proteins and fats forming harmful compounds called AGEs. While glycation is a normal part of metabolism, excessive AGEs can build up, leading to tissue damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Notably, AGEs can form naturally in the body and also come from certain foods. Fortunately, ACF has proven effective at anti-glycation, inhibiting AGEs.
Delivers Powerful Antioxidative Activity
Independent lab testing confirms that Acerola Cherry Ferment™ delivers exceptionally high antioxidant power, significantly surpassing pure Vitamin C for faster and stronger protection against oxidative stress. To view the results in the Material Data Sheet, contact us.
Neutralizes Free Radicals & Enhances Hydration
