Read the research — 2 studies

The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology · 2015 · observational

Serine, which makes up about 23% of the amino acids in natural moisturizing factor, was delivered in liposomes within a hydrogel; on human forearm skin (corneometry) the 1% liposomal-serine hydrogel produced roughly 1.62-1.77 times greater moisturizing effect than plain hydrogel, free serine, or blank liposomes.

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine · 2018 · in vitro

In atopic dermatitis, D-serine content was significantly increased while L-serine was decreased in lesional skin versus healthy controls; serine racemase expression was elevated in the AD epidermis and was upregulated in cultured human keratinocytes by TNF-alpha and macrophage migration inhibitory factor.
