Adenosine is an essential small molecule in our body, playing a crucial role in cell signalling. Studies on its cutaneous application are also promising and demonstrate several interesting aspects:

Promotes wound healing
It acts as an excellent anti-inflammatory agent
It may even stimulate skin collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Helps repair and protect the skin barrier
It may also be beneficial for hair, promoting thickness and growth.

Adenosine is a yeast-derived, water-soluble ingredient that acts as an excellent skin-soothing and repairing agent. It has demonstrated anti-wrinkle benefits and is a beneficial and safe ingredient that all skin types can use. Studies also indicate a strong potential for its soothing properties.

One of adenosine's outstanding qualities is that it is a natural component of the body and its receptors have been specifically identified in skin cells, enabling a direct connection and impressive efficacy when applied topically.
In one study (carried out by L'Oréal), adenosine was shown to improve deep wrinkles in the periorbital area, as well as glabellar frown lines.
