N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG)

Why Choose N-Acetylglucosamine?

NAG is a mild yet powerful alternative to AHAs. It encourages gentle exfoliation, visibly brightens hyperpigmented areas, and supports the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. It is especially effective when paired with niacinamide and is safe for daily use—even on sensitive skin.

Key Benefits:

• Visibly brightens dark spots and uneven tone
• Gently exfoliates without irritation or pH disruption
• Boosts skin hydration by stimulating hyaluronic acid synthesis
• Improves elasticity and barrier strength
• Works synergistically with niacinamide

Usage Guidelines:

• Recommended Use: 2% – 5% for brightening, hydration, and exfoliation
• Dissolve into water phase of formulation
• Stable across pH range: 4.0 – 7.0
• Suitable for leave-on serums, creams, and gels

Formulation Tips:

• Combine with niacinamide (2–6%) to enhance skin-brightening effects
• Gentle enough for daily use in sensitive skin formulas
