RIBOSE
Produced in the body from glucose, Ribose is a building block of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) – an important source of energy that fuels living cells, keeping them fully charged to function properly.
The ribose used in YSL Beauty products is a pure, natural sugar derived from corn through biotechnology.
External aggressors, such as pollution and UV rays, drain our skin cells of energy, leading to a sharp drop in ATP. Ribose comes to the rescue, restoring the ATP reserved in stressed skin cells requiring high energy consumption to survive. By replenishing a cell’s energy supply, the production of essential skin components – collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid – is stimulated.
By restoring the skin cell’s energy, ribose helps prevent skin tissue deterioration, which improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The skin is plumped and reloaded with new vitality, combating signs of ageing and restoring a youthful appearance.
