Science
Mechanism of Action
As a pre-activated energy substrate, Methylglucoside Phosphate efficiently revitalizes aged fibroblasts within the skin. When synergistically combined in complexes such as Neodermyl, which incorporates essential amino acids (proline, lysine) and copper, it reactivates the biosynthesis of critical dermal proteins: collagen I, collagen III, and elastin. This multifaceted mechanism culminates in enhanced skin firmness and elasticity, alongside a discernible reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. Beyond its cellular energy-boosting role, it also functions as a skin-softening and conditioning agent, with auxiliary benefits in ingredient dispersion and moisture provision.
