Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications · 2024 · observational · n=196
Of 23 stratum-corneum natural-moisturizing-factor components measured in 196 women, six amino acids including glycine (with alanine, arginine, asparagine, glutamine and histidine) correlated with higher facial skin hydration; their combined level peaked at ages 25-29 then declined with age, tracking 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 glycine, alongside serine, glutamate, alanine and threonine, was identified as positively affecting skin moisturizing activity.
