N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) is a naturally occurring amino-monosaccharide found in the spaces between skin cells. It helps maintain skin's barrier abilities and reduce dryness. Studies have shown that NAG can increase collagen production, moisture content, elasticity, exfoliation, and wound healing. It is also effective in reducing hyperpigmentation and wrinkles.
["Skin Brightening : NAG reduces hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further enhance its brightening effect.", "Anti-aging : It can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, especially in the eye area.", "Hydration : NAG increases skin's moisture content and improves hydration.", "Exfoliation : NAG exfoliates the skin without causing irritation, making it suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.", "Collagen Production : NAG increases collagen production, which is responsible for skin's elasticity and firmness.", "Barrier Function : NAG helps repair and treat sun damage, improves skin tone, and reduces trans-epidermal water loss."]
Suitable for all skin types, especially beneficial for aging skin.
No noticeable irritation of the skin even at high concentrations (up to 10%).
People with shellfish allergies should use it with caution.
NAG is derived from the shells of crustaceans obtained as a byproduct of the shellfish industry. It can also be derived from fungi and insects.

NAG is soluble in water up to 25%, although only solutions below 10% will remain clear and colorless. It is recommended to use NAG at a concentration of 1-4%, up to 10%. NAG can be encapsulated in liposomes to improve its skin delivery and moisturizing ability.
