CM-Glucan is the signature, medical grade and patented active ingredient found in all the Skincode Essentials products. Purified from the cell walls of baker’s yeast, this active ingredient has the proven ability to stimulate the skin’s own defense mechanism, to accelerate skin regeneration and to reduce wrinkle depth. CM-Glucan enhances the skin’s resistance to UVA induced oxidative stress, as well as other environmental hazards. It enhances the turnover of cell renewal and accelerates skin recovery, while restoring the skin’s moisture barrier. It is also known as the repair and defense molecule.
