Alpha Glucosyl Hesperidin (AGH) is a water-soluble, enzymatically glucosylated derivative of the citrus flavonoid hesperidin, used in skincare for its antioxidant activity and ability to support skin microcirculation and barrier function. Its improved water solubility over native hesperidin allows for better formulation stability and bioavailability.
