Cureberry (INCI: Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract) can heal and activate skin cells by enhancing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via glutamic acid decarboxylase, its synthesizing enzyme. Cureberry reduces fibroblast damage caused by irradiated blue light. The ingredient also reduces the stress hormone, which can increase skin pigmentation if left unchecked.
