Keratolytic Effect

Allantoin exhibits a keratolytic effect, encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells and improving skin texture. This process may reduce the appearance of scars and promote healthy skin renewal.

Allantoin promotes a keratolytic effect by weakening the connections between keratinocytes, the cells composing the outer layer of skin (stratum corneum). This facilitates the shedding of dead skin cells, resulting in smoother skin texture, improved appearance, and potential reduction in the visibility of scars by encouraging new cell growth and collagen production.
