By rebalancing the dermal changes associated with aging, Xylastin can restore a more youthful skin appearance.

Long chain polysaccharides naturally present in the skin known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a common skincare target in anti-aging research. More prevalent in youth and decreasing with age, GAGs provide skin structure and elasticity, support hydration, and play an important role in keratin proliferation and inflammatory processes.

Xylastin has been shown to support the synthesis of skin matrix proteins including GAGs, increase expression of collagen, and optimize extracellular proteins responsible for providing skin elasticity and firmness.
