Science & Benefits
Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is a natural part of the skin's extracellular matrix. It works synergistically with collagen and hyaluronic acid to maintain the structural 'bounce' and hydration of the dermis. It forms a film on the skin that prevents water loss and provides a smooth, lubricated feel. It is entirely non-comedogenic. For acne sufferers, it acts as a 'structural humectant,' helping to cushion the skin and maintain its architecture while it heals from inflammatory damage.
