WActive®EGT


WActive®EGT is a versatile amino acid showcasing remarkable antioxidant and anti-aging properties. It is an extremely stable antioxidant that can efficiently neutralize harmful free radicals, reduce the ROS level and defend against UV damages. Serve as a cellular protector, EGT can effectively protect cell morphology by inhibiting the production of senescence-associated β-galactosidase, revitalizing the vitality of fibroblasts. Additionally, EGT not only inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin production for a radiant complexion, but also counteracts collagen glycation, combating skin yellowing.
