What is NeoGlucosamine/N-acetyl-glucosamine?

NeoGlucosamine, also known as N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG) is a non-acid amino sugar technology that gently exfoliates skin to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and exfoliate dark spots for a more even skin tone. NeoGlucosamine is also a building block of Hyaluronic Acid, skin’s natural filler which promotes plumping of the skin, and used topically smoothes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and creates a firmer, more lifted look. NeoGlucosamine helps to improve firmness, provide skin clarity, as well as improve the appearance of wrinkles and photoaged skin.

Clinical study results with N-acetyl glucosamine reveal significant anti-ageing benefits to skin, including exfoliation, skin plumping and skin smoothing effects. NAG’s benefits extend to acne-prone skin, by providing gentle exfoliation to deliver cosmetic smoothing and evening effects to skin.

NeoGlucosamine is ideal for Adults (not children) and all skin types.
