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.
