Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, a powerful bioengineered ingredient, offers more than just surface-level benefits. Its ability to visibly brighten the skin and reduce inflammation has made it an award-winning addition to skincare. Originally used in medical settings, this potent active is now being incorporated into products by well-known brands like Sunday Riley, Honest Beauty, and more. Closer home brand Aminu has worked to ensure that this clinical-grade ingredient is not only effective but also safe for everyday use, making it more accessible for those seeking advanced skincare solutions.

What Makes DGA a Next-Gen Ingredient?

The ingredient you didn’t know your skin was craving. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn dark spots, or redness that just won’t quit, or you simply want that glowing, even-toned skin, Gallic Acid is about to become your new favorite.

DGA isn’t just another ingredient on the block, it’s a multitasker that works through seven biological pathways reducing oxidative stress, calming down redness, and soothing inflammation while lowering melanin production, and preventing uneven melanin distribution from becoming visible all in one go.

The Science Behind 

One of the reasons DGA stands out is its versatility. This biotech ingredient gets activated by your skin's microbiome (a fancy way of saying the good bacteria that help keep everything in balance). When it comes to brightening, It's proven to be 60 times more potent than Kojic Acid and four times more potent than Vitamin C. And it doesn't just stop at brightening. It also gives your skin a shield against UV damage so your skin stays safe.

Why You NEED Galic Acid in Your Routine

If you’re tired of juggling multiple products to get the results you want, DGA can help simplify things. This powerful ingredient tackles several skin concerns at once, whether it’s dullness, redness, irritation, or uneven tone. It’s like a one-stop solution that fits right into your existing routine, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin.

Products to Try

Aminu’s Correcting Concentrate and Copper Peptide Serum are two fantastic products that feature this next-gen active ingredient. Incorporating these into your routine can help you achieve a brighter, more even complexion without irritation.
