Amino acids help to maintain the skin’s hydration, resilience and an overall healthy appearance. In addition, amino acids sooth the skin. Their antioxidant properties protect skin from free-radical damage and reduce signs of aging. Research has shown that synthetic amino acids hydrate better than amino acids originating from an animal or plant source.

Amino acids work better when paired with other beneficial, ingredients that also make up part of the skin’s ‘natural moisturising factors’ (NMF’s) such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides.

You should consider using amino acids if your skin shows signs of :
