How is it used in YourHappyLife's supplements?
Attribute: Brand-specific formulation integration
Value: Miniporyl® is included in YourHappyLife's skin wellness formulations as a natural pore-tightening active that minimizes enlarged pores, balances sebum, and smooths texture, revealing refined, even-toned, and visibly clearer skin. The red clover extract delivers biological pore shrinkage through its unique triple-action mechanism—inhibiting excess oil production, improving skin's natural contraction properties for tighter pores, and enhancing cellular differentiation for optimized barrier function. Combined with complementary actives, this botanical complex provides comprehensive pore control that addresses both visible appearance and underlying causes, delivering sustained refinement, clarity, and balanced complexion.
How does Miniporyl® work?
Attribute: Biological mechanism of action
Values:
Sebum production regulation: Miniporyl® inhibits 5α-reductase enzyme activity, the key enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—the hormone responsible for triggering excess sebum production. By reducing DHT levels, Miniporyl® decreases sebum synthesis in sebocytes (oil-producing cells), controlling shine and preventing pore-clogging accumulation. Clinical studies demonstrate significant reduction in sebum accumulation, leading to less congested pores and reduced likelihood of acne formation.
Skin contraction and astringent action: The Biochanin A in Miniporyl® improves the skin's natural contraction properties, providing an astringent effect that physically tightens pore openings. This enhanced elasticity maintains optimal pore structure and recovers a refined skin texture at any age. Unlike temporary pore-filling primers, Miniporyl® works at the dermal level to strengthen the structural support around pores, resulting in sustained tightening effects.
Keratinocyte differentiation enhancement: Miniporyl® optimizes the differentiation process of keratinocytes (skin cells) by increasing expression of key structural proteins including involucrin, filaggrin, and keratin 10. Proper keratinocyte differentiation ensures a well-organized stratum corneum (outer skin layer) that prevents dead cell accumulation in pores, maintains smooth texture, and supports optimal barrier function. This cellular optimization contributes to overall skin refinement and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores from within.
Comprehensive pore appearance reduction: Through its triple-action mechanism, Miniporyl® addresses all three major factors contributing to enlarged pores: excess sebum stretching pore walls, loss of dermal elasticity causing pore sagging, and improper cellular turnover leading to pore congestion. Clinical testing demonstrates up to 80% reduction in the number of visible pores, primer-like refinement in just 15 days, and smoothing of fine wrinkles, scars, and post-acne marks.
