What is Arginine (Amino Acid)?

Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of our skin's natural structure and the intercellular matrix. Arginine stands out as one of these important and essential components. Frequently preferred in skincare, Arginine is an amino acid that plays an active role in protein synthesis and is found naturally in nature and the human body. In cosmetic formulations, it is a highly valuable active ingredient that optimizes the skin's moisture retention capacity, supports elasticity, and helps it appear vibrant. In Lacinia products, it is carefully formulated to maintain the skin's natural balance, support the skin barrier, and nourish the skin against the damaging effects of external factors. In cosmetic chemistry, it is also known for its properties in balancing the pH value of a formula.

Benefits in Skincare

Arginine deeply moisturizes the skin by increasing its ability to retain water in the uppermost layers. It works as part of the Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF), thereby helping to protect the skin barrier and supporting the skin to look fuller, healthier, and more radiant. Additionally, thanks to its antioxidant properties, it helps protect the skin against the damaging effects of environmental stress factors and free radicals, ensuring the skin looks fresher, smoother, and younger.

Supports the skin's natural moisture balance, locking in water to moisturize the skin for a long time.
Softens the skin instantly by reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.
Revitalizes the skin surface, eliminating tired and dull appearances to provide a brighter form.

How to Use?

Serums, lotions, or creams containing Arginine can be applied regularly in the morning and evening to skin that has been cleansed of dirt with a suitable cleanser and toned. You can ensure the product is fully absorbed by the skin by gently patting it into your face, neck, and décolleté area. Applying it to slightly damp skin (for example, immediately after applying a face mist or toner) is a highly effective method to increase its moisturizing effect and absorption into the skin. It can be safely used with other active ingredients as an indispensable part of your daily skincare routine.

Who Can Use It?

It is suitable for all skin types without exception, especially for skin that needs intense moisture and appears dull, tired, and lackluster due to external factors. Its softening, nourishing, and refreshing effects are felt more significantly on skin prone to dryness and skin that has lost its elasticity over time, including sensitive skin.

Things to Consider

Since Arginine is also found naturally in the human body, it is generally a cosmetic ingredient that is highly compatible with the skin and has a very high tolerance. However, as with any new cosmetic product, it is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area on the inside of the wrist or the side of the neck before the first use to gauge your skin's reaction. Direct contact of the product with the eyes should be avoided; in case of contact, rinse with plenty of water.
