Works for
Anti-agingAcetyl glucosamine, Ascorbyl glucoside + 1 moreWorks well
“Amino Fil supports the skin’s collagen and creates natural volume.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains acetyl glucosamine, acetyl tyrosinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: ascorbyl glucoside.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Evens skin toneAcetyl glucosamine, Ascorbyl glucosideWorks well
“Vitamin C reduces dark spots and promotes a more even tone.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: acetyl glucosamine
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: ascorbyl glucoside.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
ExfoliationAcetyl glucosamineNot delivered
“Neo Glucosamine exfoliates the skin and improves cell turnover.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with acetyl glucosamine, but this ingredient is not the most effective.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Acetyl glucosamine, Cyclopentasiloxane + 8 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl glucosamine
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbyl glucoside, Acetyl tyrosinamideMay help
This product contains antioxidants (acetyl tyrosinamide, ascorbyl glucoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
