Why: To understand how this product works, you need a little background on glycans, the sugar molecules that are found naturally in the body. You've heard that sugar is practically the devil in regards to skin health -- but these molecules don't come from cake, and they have nothing to do with raising your blood sugar. Glycans help skin cells communicate -- they sit on the surface of cells and act like antennae for skin cells. As we age, glycans (which also keep cells plump by attracting water) diminish, halting the skin's regeneration process. Enter: Glycanactif, a lab-formulated, patented complex created by L'Oréal (YSL's parent company), intended to replace some of the common glycans lost during the aging process.
Glycobiology research has been recognized by seven Nobel Prizes -- it's clearly regarded as an important issue when it comes to skin health. Glycanactif not only replaces glycans, it also encourages glycan production from the cell itself. Does it work? Clinical studies say that participants experienced a ten percent increase in epidermal thickness and skin was visibly less lined and plumper after one month.
