Collagen synthesis and cross-linking: acts as a primary precursor for collagen formation by undergoing hydroxylation to form hydroxylysine, cross-linking collagen fibers and providing skin with tensile strength and structural integrity.
Skin hydration and moisture retention: regulates osmotic pressure in the stratum corneum and draw water into skin cells while preventing transepidermal water loss.
Skin barrier reinforcement: strengthens the skin barrier by stabilizing protein structures, supporting the acid mantle, and fortifying skin against environmental aggressors.
Wound healing and cellular regeneration: facilitates wound healing and cellular regeneration through its role in protein synthesis, supporting fibroblast proliferation and tissue repair.
Anti-aging and skin firmness: supports collagen maintenance to help prevent premature formation of fine lines caused by protein degradation.
