What is Proxylane?
Moisture in your skin is essential to proper healing and reducing signs of aging like wrinkles or lines. Proxylane in skincare is a synthetic ingredient found in some of our formulas as a super moisturizer that helps to strengthen the skin's extracellular matrix and increase skin-elasticity and firmness. Synthesized from the sugar xylose found in birch and beech wood, Proxylane™ is an environmentally-friendly ingredient used to keep skin plump by reducing wrinkles, increasing elasticity, and improving hydration.
Key words: Pro-Xylane; biological activity; cosmetics
Pro-xylane is a synthetic ingredient derived from xylose, a sugar found in birch and beech trees, that is used in some skincare products. It can have anti-aging benefits, including:
-
Plumping
Pro-xylane can thicken and plump the skin by reinforcing the link between the dermis and epidermis.
-
Wrinkle reduction
Pro-xylane can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and deep furrows.
-
Skin elasticity
Pro-xylane can increase skin elasticity and firmness by strengthening the skin's extracellular matrix.
-
Improved hydration
Pro-xylane can improve skin hydration by promoting the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which can absorb moisture and make the cellular matrix more resilient.
-
Skin quality
In vitro and in vivo tests have shown that pro-xylane can improve skin quality by up to 17%.
1. Deep nourishment: Pro-Xylane can penetrate deep into the skin to provide long-lasting moisture and nutrition. It increases the skin's moisturizing capacity and improves the skin's suppleness and elasticity.
2. Skin firming and lifting: Pro-Xylane can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to improve the elasticity of the skin, making the skin firmer and younger.
3. Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging: Pro-Xylane reduces the appearance of wrinkles by promoting collagen production. It also fights free radical damage and slows down the aging process of the skin for a more youthful and smoother appearance.
4. Brighten skin tone: Pro-Xylane has the effect of improving skin tone, which can reduce the appearance of dull skin and uneven pigmentation, and make the skin brighter and more even.
5. Pro-Xylane is widely used in various skin care products, such as face cream, essence, eye cream, etc. It is considered a highly potent and effective ingredient with the ability to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles and promote skin youthfulness.
Pro-Xylane is able to thicken and plump up the skin. It works on the skin's biomechanical properties by reinforcing the link between the dermis and epidermis. Wrinkles are reduced, pigment spots fade and the skin's quality improves. In a nutshell, the skin looks visibly younger.

Studies have proved that Pro-Xylane can exert biological effects at different layers of the skin
- Acting on the epidermis, Pro-Xylanecan promote the synthesis of various GAGs, and at the same time up-regulate the expression of hyaluronic acid receptor CD44 and syndecan, thereby activating the signal pathway mediated by GAGs. Clinical studies have shown that topical application of Pro-Xylane can effectively reduce transepidermal water loss, improve skin barrier function, and promote epidermal renewal, making the skin plump and radiant.
