Is polyglutamic acid the new super hydration ingredient in skincare?

Polyglutamic acid is revolutionary when it comes to moisturizing

Polyglutamic Acid

The skincare world is full of hero ingredients that do yeoman’s duty in a variety of products, but there's always a "next big thing" ingredient waiting to work its wonders. Hyaluronic acid has been the king of the hill for some time when it comes to moisturizing, but now there's a new contender for the throne.
It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?

Travel

Packing light? These 5 travel-size colognes are worth the space in your dopp kit

Man applies spray cologne and smells the fragrance

Packing for a trip means making smart choices — especially when it comes to grooming. If cologne is part of your daily routine, hauling around a full-size bottle just isn’t practical. That’s where travel-size spray colognes come in: same great scent, just in a compact, easy-to-pack version.

And it’s not just about convenience. According to fragrance expert Ben Krigler, sprays with alcohol remain the most stable and long-lasting option, which makes these travel-ready versions even more appealing.

Experts reveal which skincare tools are game changers (and which to skip)

Skincare tech

Tech for grooming and skincare is a fast-growing category, and products and approaches are proliferating at an impressive rate. Most of this is good news for men looking to start or enhance their skincare routines, but there’s also so much tech coming on the market that it pays to do some sorting out.
That’s where the experts come in. Having tried out a lot of the latest skincare tech, I speak from personal experience: To maximize the value of this kind of tech, you have to know how it works, what it can do, and what its limitations are.

Good tech vs. overhyped tech
