Serine is a non-essential amino acid that is a key component of the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF). When applied topically, it helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, contributing to hydration and maintaining a healthy skin barrier. It can improve the overall feel and appearance of the skin.
