What is pro-xylane?

Pro-xylane is made from the sugar molecules found in beachwood. It’s a “green chemical,” meaning it has natural origins, but the final product has undergone a chemical process. In skincare formulations, pro-xylane is labeled as hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol and promotes the production of collagen and skin’s natural moisturizers, Hence, it can help slow down skin aging and attract water to the upper layer of the skin, giving a plump appearance.

Benefits of hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol / Pro-xylane for skin

Technically, pro-xylane increases skin hydration and boosts collagen synthesis. It does that by stimulating GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) — the main components of the extracellular matrix responsible for retaining water and producing skin-supporting proteins. In fact, pro xylane is considered the best activator of glycosaminoglycans. With more glycosaminoglycans, the skin gets better at attracting water molecules and synthesizing collagen. This, in turn, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and gives a more firm, supple, and hydrated complexion.

Pro-Xylane, a promising active developed by L’Oreal Laboratories, has gained attention in skincare. Derived from sugar molecules found in beachwood, it promotes collagen production and skin hydration. In fact, it’s considered the best activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which play a key role in retaining water and supporting skin proteins. Studies show that Pro-Xylane improves skin quality, reducing wrinkles and giving a firmer, hydrated complexion12. While it’s generally safe for skin, perform a patch test and avoid using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For best results, incorporate Pro-Xylane into your skincare routine alongside other anti-aging ingredients like retinol or vitamin C1.
