N-acetyl glucosamine is considered to be a “skin-identical ingredient”, meaning it’s found in our skin in the spaces between the cells, and it is used to maintain the skin’s barrier abilities and reduce dryness. Studies have shown that NAG can increase collagen production, increase the moisture content of the skin, increase the elasticity of the skin, increase exfoliation, and increase the speed of wound healing.
NAG has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further increase its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation. N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has skin-exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without irritation. NAG can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, so it can be a good replacement for acid-based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
High concentrations of NAG – as high as 10% – have not shown noticeable irritation of the skin. It is soluble at up to 25%, although only solutions below 10% will remain clear and colorless.
