Science & Benefits

Alanine is a small, hydrophobic amino acid that functions as a high-performance skin-conditioning agent. It works by integrating into the surface layers of the stratum corneum to improve smoothness and water retention. It is entirely non-comedogenic (Rating 0). It is a 'bulletproof' choice for acne sufferers with 'rough' skin texture, as it provides weightless surface refinement and hydration without any of the heavy emollients that could trigger new clogs.
