What is it?

Carnosine is a dipeptide (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) that is naturally found in muscles and the brain. A powerful anti-glycation agent: protects proteins (collagen, elastin) from Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) — damage caused by sugar that leads to yellow tone and wrinkles. INCI: Carnosine.

Used in anti-aging serums and creams, especially effective for the skin of people with high sugar intake or premature aging. Works well with vitamin C and peptides.

Key Benefits

Powerful antioxidant: Neutralizes free radicals and protects cellular structures from oxidative damage.
Protection of structural proteins: Maintains the integrity of collagen and elastin, preserving skin firmness and youthfulness.

What is glycation

Glycation is the process by which sugar damages proteins (formation of AGEs). In the skin, this manifests as a yellowish tone, reduced elasticity, and wrinkles. Carnosine prevents this process, which is especially important in a high-sugar diet.
