L-Fucose is a rare, natural monosaccharid and must by no means be mistaken for fructose, the common fruit sugar. As one of the eight essential sugars, which our organism needs to function properly, L-Fucose in the skin plays a vital part as a membrane sugar and is therefore also named as a glyco nutrient against ageing of the skin. By stimulating elastin synthesis and glycosaminoglycansynthesis (gag), L-Fucose reduces wrinkles.
