Polyglutamic acid is believed to be a game-changer as it is more effective than hyaluronic acid. Let’s know more about this new moisturizing ingredient.
Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is an acid but with no exfoliation or peeling properties. It is a moisturizing ingredient that is said to hold 4 times more water than hyaluronic acid. PGA has a large structure and imparts a humectant effect by staying on the skin, giving a glowing and luminescent glass look.
Polyglutamic acid hydrates the skin and gives a plump look. It is also suitable for wound healing. It reduces wrinkles and fine lines. Also maintains the elasticity of the skin, so excellent for antiaging benefits. It is available in eye creams, hydrating serums, antiaging serums, and sheet masks, etc.
Polyglutamic acid is a water-soluble polymaer. It is natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable. It is much gentler, so it is safe for everyone. It is safe to use with other skincare ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, etc. You can use it as frequently as your skin demands. But there can be a few exceptions that might react to it. So it is better to check the complete ingredient list and do a patch test.
