Due to environmental factors and aging, the skin loses its capacity to regenerate, thereby weakening the cutaneous barrier and the dermal architecture.
Faced with this observation, Silab developed Glyco-Repair, a natural active ingredient able to reactivate the natural processes of skin repair.
In 2020, SILAB is bringing additional efficacy data to its active ingredient in a context of aging:
New Data
The new efficacy data highlights that the active ingredient also repairs age-related disorders. A study by fringe projection demonstrated that Glyco-Repair, tested at 3% during 14 days of twice daily application on a mature Caucasian panel, improves skin microrelief and especially parameter Sa (-8.6%). In addition, after 28 days of twice daily application, a clinical scoring by trained evaluators using digital photos indicated that the appearance of pores is reduced (-13.8%) and the crow’s feet wrinkles are decreased (-10.5%).
A self-evaluation by volunteers confirmed these data, since 83% of them perceived their skin grain refined and 94% reported their skin to be smoother and their fine lines and wrinkles to be less visible.
Glyco-Repair is a patented solution of natural origin at 99.3% (ISO 16128) and respecting biodiversity regulations. Available in an aqueous solution (recommended amount: 1 to 3%), it is compliant with international cosmetic regulations (Europe, United States, Japan, China, etc).

In 2020, SILAB is bringing additional efficacy data to its active ingredient in a context of aging:
- At the level of the epidermis, by confirming the capacity of Glyco-Repair to reactivate the different biological pathways involved in re-epithelialization, in particular keratinocyte differentiation, and by highlighting its healing action;
- At the level of the dermis, by reaffirming the ability of Glyco-Repair to restore the integrity of the support tissue, especially with its action on the architecture of the dermal matrix and on the functionality of fibroblasts.
