-
Anti-microbial Effects: Matrine has demonstrated activity against various bacteria and fungi, which could make it useful for treating skin infections or preventing acne.

-
Anti-aging Effects: Matrine can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin elasticity by promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.
