WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NEUROSENSINE?
Neurosensine has been shown to decrease erythema, irritation and pruritus, particularly in patients with periorbital eczema. It has also been used to reduce skin reactivity in combination with other agents for rosacea-prone skin, where it is thought to prolong the effects of other anti-rosacea medications. In one study, it was shown to alleviate capsaicin-induced burning in cosmetic formulations.
WHAT IS NEUROSENSINE?
Neurosensine is a synthesized molecule made of a dipeptide (arginine, tyrosine) and acetic acid, also called acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester. It has anti-aging properties and skin-soothing properties, for which it is used in combinations for relief of itching or burning associated with skin pathologies.
IS NEUROSENSINE SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES AND TONES?
Neurosensine is likely safe for all skin types and tones based on available data.
