To maintain its elasticity and natural firmness over the years, our skin, whether on the face or the rest of the body, requires a series of crucial substances. Some of these are absorbed as nutrients through normal diet, which, combined with adequate water intake, moisturizes the skin from within. But it is equally essential to moisturize and nourish the skin from the outside. In this specific case, dermo-aesthetics comes to the rescue with creams and serums specifically designed for the daily care of our skin. Dermocosmetic products are enriched with various active ingredients that perform different functions for skin well-being. One of the most effective active ingredients is glucosamine. Let's find out what it is and what benefits it provides for the skin.
Glucosamine: a primary constituent of hyaluronic acid
To fully understand the benefits that glucosamine can offer our skin, it is enough to consider that this substance is a precursor to hyaluronic acid. In dermocosmetics, when we talk about a "precursor," we refer to a substance that, in our body, is capable of promoting the production of another substance with a generally more complex molecular structure.
In our case, glucosamine participates in the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which, as is known, is an essential component not only for the hydration, turgor, and elasticity of our skin but also for several other aspects, including the proper functioning of connective and joint tissues.
What is glucosamine, what is it used for, and why is it used
Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide present in the human body, where it participates in the constitution of cell membranes and is present in various molecules, including hyaluronic acid. A deficiency of glucosamine or its metabolism in our body can lead to a weakness of specific tissues. In the case of the skin, it can open the door to the appearance of wrinkles due to a decrease in skin elasticity. From a dermocosmetic perspective, therefore, the use of glucosamine, by promoting the production of new hyaluronic acid, plays a significant anti-aging action. Finally, among the various properties of hyaluronic acid, formed thanks to glucosamine, we can include the activity of strengthening joints and the ability to help preserve the structure and degree of elasticity of cartilage.
Cream with phospholipids and glucosamine: here's which one to use
From Italian research, Fospidina was born, a latest-generation active complex that synergistically combines the properties of glucosamine with those of phospholipids extracted from soy. Products containing the complex are highly regenerating and offer anti-aging performance. The combined action of phospholipids and glucosamine is a winning one because phospholipids are exceptional vehicles that promote the deeper penetration of glucosamine and functional active ingredients into the skin layers. The innovation of the SKINIUS line is having chosen fospidina as the distinguishing complex of the entire anti-aging line. Glucosamine is present in all products of the anti-aging line The Doctor Is In.
We have selected three creams with glucosamine and phospholipids for you, which are now an essential must-have in your anti-aging beauty routine and also for sensitive skin.
LIFTNES Neck, Décolleté, and Breast Cream
LIFTNES Neck, Décolleté, and Breast Cream is the anti-aging solution from the Skinius line, specifically designed to improve the turgor of the décolleté area. Thanks to the presence of the Fospidina complex, daily application of the product ensures a deep regenerating action, helping to counteract skin sagging and prevent stretch marks on the breasts. The cream is recommended all year round, even for the most sensitive skin.
SHATUI Nourishing Face Cream
Shatui is an anti-aging, nourishing, firming face cream capable of reducing micro-wrinkles, thus providing tone and elasticity to the skin. In addition to phospholipids and glucosamine, another highly effective ingredient contained in the product is vitamin E, which ensures powerful antioxidant action, helping to protect cell membranes from the attack of free radicals, which are among the main culprits of premature skin aging.
H2+O Hydrating Face Cream
H2+O by Skinius is a hydrating face cream that can act both on the surface and deep down, thus maintaining optimal skin hydration and making the skin brighter and smoother. The product is characterized by a high anti-aging function and is suitable for any time of year and at any age.
