Glycation

Glycation is a biochemical reaction where excess sugar molecules bind to proteins like collagen and elastin, forming rigid compounds called Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). This process makes skin fibers stiff, brittle, and less responsive—accelerating visible ageing such as sagging and dullness. AgeBiome™ rituals indirectly combat glycation by supporting collagen turnover and reducing oxidative stress.

Why It’s Used:

  • Explains a key internal cause of skin ageing
  • Links sugar intake and lifestyle to dermal breakdown
  • Helps educate on the value of collagen preservation
  • Reinforces the need for antioxidant and peptide-based care
  • Justifies long-term ritual continuity beyond surface-level results
  • Adds depth to DEJ and dermal matrix repair education

What It Means for You:

Glycation is what makes your skin feel less elastic and more fragile over time. AgeBiome™ rituals help offset its effects by encouraging the skin to rebuild, not just react.
