Studies have shown that NAG can increase collagen production, increase moisture content of the skin, increase elasticity of the skin, increase exfoliation, and increase the speed of wound healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoPlainText\"\u003eNAG has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further increase its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation. N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has skin exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without the irritation.  NAG can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, so it can be a good replacement for acid based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea prone skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoPlainText\"\u003eHigh concentrations of NAG - as high as 10% - have not shown noticeable irritation of the skin.
