Betaine Description
Betaine is a humectant which means it retains moisture and prevents moisture loss. It is known as an osmolyte, a substance that helps skin adapt to moisture losses and gains, essentially balancing skin’s hydration. Because of its soft, soothing nature, betaine is frequently incorporated in skincare products (1).
Betaine also shows promise as a topical agent to visibly improve uneven skin tone, according to recent studies. However additional research is required to establish this effect, although preliminary findings seem promising (1).
