When used in cosmetic formulations, DuPont™ Glypure® penetrates the skin effectively and stimulates cellular activity. It also can readjust the water percentage in the epidermis, allowing for smoother, softer and more radiant skin. What’s more, DuPont™ Glypure® can enhance the performance in certain topical over-the-counter and prescription applications.
As shown, skin is made up of several layers: subcutaneous fat, the dermis, the epidermis and the stratum corneum. The dermis is the layer where wrinkles are formed and oil is produced. The epidermis, which forms the actual protective covering against environmental influence, renews itself every 28 days through continual reproduction of cells and lipids. The stratum corneum is the uppermost layer of the epidermis where dry skin and flaking are often problems.
Products formulated with DuPont™ Glypure® help to:
• Improve the appearance of sun damaged skin and fight skin aging by:
• improving elasticity and firmness
• increasing the production of dermal matrix compounds
• increasing collagen synthesis
• reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• improving skin texture
• Reveal smoother, brighter, more supple skin with less pigmentation and fewer irregularities
• Promote the cycle of skin shedding (also known as cell turnover) and re-growth
Clinical data supports glycolic acid’s effectiveness in a wide range of products including:
• Cell turnover/exfoliation products
• Skin peeling products
• Creams, serums, lotions, cleansers and toners designed to reduce the signs of aging
• Moisturizing skin creams and lotions
