Imagine your skin cells are one high-tech factory, humming with activity to produce that enviable plumpness and bounce. Enter Proxylane and N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG), the ultimate duo, working hand-in-hand to turn back and slow down the clock of aging.
NAG is the powerhouse fuel, diving straight into your skin cells to supercharge the hexosamine pathway. It ramps up UDP-GlcNAc, the building block for hyaluronic acid (HA), flooding keratinocytes (skin cells) and fibroblasts (collagen producing cells) with moisture magnets. Result? Instant hydration that smooths fine lines and fortifies your barrier like a velvet shield.
Then there’s Proxylane, the wizard (hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol), acting as the master architect. It signals fibroblasts to explode glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and collagen IV, rebuilding the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) (bridge between skin layers) for firmer, denser skin. Studies show this combo spikes GAG synthesis by 68%*, translating to +22% skin density** in just 8 weeks—firmer cheeks, blurred wrinkles, and a lit-from-within glow.
Where can you find this Duo? In our newly upgraded V2 X’Factor Advanced 30% Proxylane Face Cream. This gem packs a 1% NAG into the whopping 30% Proxylane in a lightweight, non-greasy texture, that absorbs like water yet hydrates for days. Boost your HA game by layering this pea-sized cream on face and neck, morning and night. It stimulates collagen, accelerates repair via fibroblast growth factors, and plumps lines in days. Pregnancy-safe, irritation-free, and makeup-ready.
Why settle for basic when your skin craves this synergy? Ditch the deflate—embrace the factory reset. Your mirror (and selfies) will thank you.
