Xylitylglucoside (Aquaxyl-type)
INCI: xylitylglucoside
Xylitylglucoside (usually blended with anhydroxylitol and xylitol as a sugar-derived complex) boosts the skin’s own hyaluronan and ceramide synthesis from within — a metabolic hydrator rather than just a surface film. Clinical data show increased dermal and epidermal HA content, reduced transepidermal water loss, and smoother texture within weeks. At 2–5% it reprograms dehydrated skin toward better self-hydration, which pairs perfectly with classic humectants like glycerin and HA for immediate plus long-term effect. Non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, it is a staple of French pharmacy hydration lines. Best used consistently morning and night.
