Modulating Glucosides: Advanced Comfort for Skin

NIOD Modulating Glucosides (MG) was created with this in mind. The alcohol-free formulation combines bio-active glucosides with barrier-supporting technologies to help reduce visible signs of reactive skin while reinforcing the skin’s resilience. Below, we examine the science behind MG, the benefits it provides, and how it can fit within a daily regimen to support healthy-looking skin.

At its core, MG is centred on modulation: the process of guiding the skin’s responses towards balance rather than suppressing them. This approach works at a foundational level to reduce the persistence of visible irritation. Through a considered blend of technologies, MG helps to return the skin to a state of equilibrium.

The formula stands apart by not simply offering symptomatic relief but by working to support the skin's responses over time. The result is improved resilience and a complexion that appears visibly calmer and less reactive.

MG's efficacy is the result of a carefully formulated blend of advanced skin technologies, each playing a specific role in supporting the skin's integrity and comfort:

Targets Visible Redness and Discomfort:

• Multi-Molecular-Lipid Complex: A blend of Oat Synthetic Analogues, Ceramides, Purified Ginger Root and other dermal-friendly lipids
• Propyl Gallate, Gallyl Glucoside, and Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside: This trio of compounds offers a soothing effect
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8: This innovative peptide is designed to offer a calming effect by helping to visibly soothe skin.
• Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract: An ingredient known for its soothing properties, this extract helps to soothe signs of redness in the skin. It also helps to alleviate sensations of discomfort, providing a soothing effect.
• Soothing Complex: This potent blend of ingredients, including 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol, Bisabolol, Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Stearic Acid, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, and Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, delivers a pronounced soothing effect.

Skin Barrier Support:

• Curculigo Orchioides Root Extract: This powerful botanical extract helps to support and maintain the integrity of the epidermal barrier. By supporting the skin's first line of defence, it can help reduce the skin's visible signs of skin reactivity over time.

What distinguishes Modulating Glucosides is the blend of its technologies. The formula works on multiple fronts simultaneously: addressing the sensation of discomfort, significantly reducing reactivity and sensitivity of the skin, and reinforcing the skin's barrier. It is a proactive solution for skin comfort, suitable for all skin types, designed to build resilience rather than simply mask symptoms.

The benefits of MG go far beyond a simple calming effect. They translate into visible, lasting improvements towards healthy-looking skin and comfort:

• Minimise visible redness: Through its targeted modulation technologies, MG is designed tohelp reduce the appearance of visible redness. Ingredients in this formula help contribute to a more even, calm-looking complexion over time.
• Enhances skin comfort: Feelings of tightness can profoundly impact daily comfort. MG directly addresses these sensations, providing a feeling of relief. 
• Supports barrier function: A compromised epidermal barrier is at the root of many skin concerns. By utilising ingredients like Curculigo Orchioides Root Extract, MG helps to support and strengthen this barrier, contributing to reduced trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and a more resilient barrier.
• Addresses discomfort & itching: The formula's blend of soothing agents, including Tasmannia Lanceolata, works to help alleviate signs of irritation and discomfort, making it an effective solution for visible signs of skin reactivity.

Integrating Modulating Glucosides into your Regimen

Modulating Glucosides (MG) is especially suited to skin that is reactive, redness-prone, or easily sensitised. It also provides essential support for those navigating environmental irritants or incorporating more intensive actives into their skincare routine, helping reinforce the skin’s barrier when it needs it most.

How to use Modulating Glucosides

Apply a few drops to the face, morning and evening. Use after cleansing and before anhydrous (water-free) serums, oils, suspensions, or creams. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is recommended. Keep out of reach of children.

Customers who have integrated Modulating Glucosides into their routines often speak of a profound, lasting change. They describe their skin as feeling "calmer" and "less reactive" over time, noting a significant reduction in visible redness and signs of irritation.
