Description
Arginine PCA is a complex of the amino acid arginine and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), which is used in cosmetics for intensive skin hydration, support of its barrier functions, and improvement of texture. This component helps to retain moisture in cells, stimulates collagen production, maintains the skin's pH balance, and promotes its regeneration. Arginine PCA has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it is often included in anti-aging, moisturizing, and restorative products for the face and body.
