N Acetyl D Glucosamine [NAG]

N acetyl glucosamine is considered to be a “skin identical ingredient”, it is found in our skin in the spaces between the cells, and it is used to maintain skin’s barrier abilities and reduce dryness. NAG increases collagen production and moisture content of the skin.

NAG has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation.It is also an amino sugar that has skin exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without the irriation. NAG can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, it can be a good replacement for acid based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea prone skin.

NAG 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
