D-Glycargine

Aqueous solution of Arginine PCA which fights against glycation (a principle cause of ageing) to help to recover skin firmness. It has both a preventive action (anti-glycation potential) and curative action (de-glycation) to help maintain the skin’s biomechanical properties. D-glycargine also helps to combat glycation-induced yellowing.

D-Glycargine is an aqueous solution of Arginine PCA, an ester formed from Arginine and L-PCA. L-PCA is a physiological molecule which is part of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor. D-Glycargine is a novel anti-ageing ingredient which fights against glycation to help to recover skin firmness. It offers both a preventive action (anti-glycation potential) and curative action (de-glycation) to help maintain the skin’s biomechanical properties.

Glycation is a spontaneous, natural chemical reaction which leads to skin ageing. The skin has no self-defence system for fighting against glycation so D-Glycargine offers a new anti-ageing possibility.

Supporting data:

• In vivo: recovery of facial skin firmness
• In vivo: lightening, ‘de-yellowing’ effect
• Ex vivo:
  • Preventive action: Protection of the proteins and against yellowing effect
  • Curative action: Repair of glycated proteins and correction of yellowing effect
