A hydrating formulation that utilizes the function of Aquaporins, specifically Aquaporin 3 (AQP3)
What is Aquaporin (AQP3) forโ๏ธ
๐๐ค๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง - Unlike Hyaluronic Acid (humectant), AQP3 is a protein channel that moves water & glycerol into & between cells to keep the skin hydrated from within. Aquaporins and hyaluronic acid are complementary, not identical:
Hyaluronic Acid holds moisture on the surface, which Aquaporins can then pull into the skin cells.
The use of glycerin supports and "feeds" the aquaporin channels, making them more effective, which then enables the skin to absorb other hydrators like hyaluronic acid better.
Aquaporins move water in cells (cellular hydration); Hyaluronic acid keeps water on the skin (surface hydration).
๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก - AQP3 improves skin elasticity, strenghtening the barrier function to prevent future moisture loss.
๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ - Boosting AQP3 levels speeds up the repair process, helping damaged or irritated skin bounce back faster. Without enough AQP3, the time it takes for skin to recover doubles.
It is particularly suitable for dull, dry, and dehydrated skin.
