N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a compound found naturally in the human body, it is a precursor to hyaluronic acid, which helps reduces trans-epidermal water loss, smoothen, reduce dryness, hydrates, boosts healing, brighten the complexion and may reduce signs of aging and appearance of wrinkles. It is considered to be a “skin identical ingredient”, meaning it’s found in our skin in the spaces between the cells.
Studies have shown that N-Acetyl Glucosamine increases collagen production, increase moisture content of the skin, increase elasticity of the skin, increase exfoliation, increase the speed of wound healing, repairs and treat sun damage
N-Acetyl Glucosamine has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further increase its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation, improves skin tone and barrier function
N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has skin exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without the irritation.
N-Acetyl Glucosamine can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, so it can be a good replacement for acid based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea prone skin.
High concentrations of NAG - as high as 10% - have not shown noticeable irritation of the skin. It is soluble at up to 25%, although only solutions below 10% will remain clear and colourless
