Valine

Compound Summary

Amino acid formulated facial skin external agent

Valine is an essential amino acid that our bodies cannot produce on their own, making it crucial to obtain through our diet or supplements. Valine is involved in collagen production, the protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Valine also plays a role in maintaining the skin’s moisture balance. It helps to regulate the skin’s natural hydration levels by supporting the production of ceramides, which are essential lipids that help retain moisture in the skin. Additionally, valine has been found to aid in the wound healing process. It supports the formation of new blood vessels, accelerates tissue regeneration, and promotes the synthesis of collagen at the wound site. [10]
