N Acetyl Glucosamine Powder (NAG)

Description

N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) powder is a multifunctional, skin-identical ingredient used to deeply hydrate, brighten, and reinforce the skin barrier. As a precursor to hyaluronic acid, it boosts skin moisture and stimulates collagen, reducing fine lines and uneven tone while offering gentle exfoliation.

USES/BENEFITS

Deep Hydration & Plumping: NAG stimulates the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, increasing moisture levels, enhancing elasticity, and improving skin texture.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: It acts as a melanin inhibitor, making it effective at fading hyperpigmentation and dark spots, especially when paired with niacinamide.

Gentle Exfoliation: As a precursor to hyaluronic acid, NAG acts as a “keratolytic,” breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells. It promotes surface renewal without the irritation associated with AHAs or BHAs.

Strengthens Skin Barrier: It helps repair the skin barrier and provides anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and sensitivity.

Anti-Aging: By boosting collagen production, it assists in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne Management: Topical application has been shown to reduce acne.
