Let's talk about the new star in anti-aging - Pro-Xylane (Part 1)

In recent years, a formidable contender has emerged, called Pro-Xylane, frequently appearing in the public eye, prompting the question: Is it truly that miraculous? Today, let's delve into it~~

English Name: HYDROXYPROPYL TETRAHYDROPYRANTRIOL

Abbreviation: Pro-Xylane

The chemical structure of Pro-Xylane

Structurally, it belongs to C-glycosides. Pro-Xylane is a patented ingredient from L'Oréal's Lancôme laboratory, and it is a xylose derivative.

Pro-Xylane was developed by L'Oréal Group over many years. The earliest publications were around 2007-2009, more than a decade ago. As L'Oréal's leading product, it debuted in a central position and has shouldered half the responsibility for L'Oréal's anti-aging product line for over a decade.

With the expiration of L'Oréal's Pro-Xylane synthesis patent protection in 2019, this mysterious anti-aging ingredient gained immense market popularity. On RED, discussions related to Pro-Xylane exceeded 40,000, far surpassing other major brands' patented ingredients.

Beech trees contain a large amount of xylose.

Pro-Xylane is not directly extracted from beech trees. Its origin is the synthesis of xylose, a natural sugar extracted from beech trees. Therefore, L'Oréal uses xylose extracted from beech trees as a raw material for synthesizing Pro-Xylane.

The origin story of Pro-Xylane:

It all began in L'Oréal's research and development laboratory in Chevilly-Larue, France. Pro-Xylane, fine-tuned in 2006, is an environmentally friendly and natural active ingredient from a "green chemistry" manufacturing process.

It took 7 years of research to obtain the patent and become a star ingredient in L'Oréal Revitalift Laser X3 series (3% dosage).

What Pro-Xylane can do:

1. Activate glycosaminoglycan synthesis

Pro-Xylane focuses on anti-aging. It can activate glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promote the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, improve the adhesion between the dermis and epidermis, promote the regeneration of damaged tissues, help maintain the elasticity of the dermis, and prevent skin aging.

2. Stimulate glycosaminoglycan production

Pro-Xylane can stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), increasing the water content in the extracellular matrix. This fully fills the gaps in the extracellular matrix (ECM), reducing wrinkles and making the skin appear more delicate.

3. Promote collagen synthesis

Meanwhile, Pro-Xylane can act at the dermis-epidermis junction (DEJ), promoting the synthesis of collagen VII and collagen IV, making the connection between our epidermis and dermis tighter, resulting in firmer and more elastic skin.

Research results show:

The remarkable anti-aging properties of Pro-Xylane.

During testing, this innovative active ingredient has been proven effective in smoothing wrinkles and improving dry and sagging skin.

Pro-Xylane acts on the biomechanical properties of the skin by strengthening the connection between the dermis and epidermis, addressing deep wrinkles, lightening age spots, improving dry and sagging skin, and making the skin thicker and fuller. In short, it makes the skin look younger.

Relevant experimental verification:

Conclusion:

In a medium supplemented with 3% Pro-Xylane, GAGs increased by 8.0 mg/ml after 24 hours and 10.6 mg/ml after 48 hours, indicating that Pro-Xylane promotes the secretion of glycosaminoglycans by epidermal cells.
