What is it

What is Pullulan?

Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide produced through fermentation. When applied to skin, it forms a thin, invisible film that tightens as it dries - creating an immediate firming and smoothing effect visible within minutes. This is a cosmetic mechanism (film-forming on the surface), not a structural change in the skin, but it provides a meaningful visual benefit while longer-term actives like peptides work over time.
