Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications · 2024 · observational · n=196
Of 23 stratum corneum NMF components measured in 196 women, six amino acids including alanine (with arginine, asparagine, glutamine, glycine and histidine) correlated with higher facial skin hydration; their combined level peaked at ages 25-29 then declined with age, correlating with texture, pores, wrinkles and dullness.
Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists of Korea · 2012 · observational · n=15
Quantifying 22 stratum corneum amino acids by UPLC in 15 volunteers, total amino-acid content was inversely correlated with transepidermal water loss (better barrier), and alanine, along with serine, glutamate, glycine and threonine, was identified as positively affecting skin moisturizing activity.
