GABA

Gabacare™ (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid or GABA) is a topical skin smoothing active inspired by the body’s natural calming neurotransmitter. When applied to the skin it helps soften the visible effects of repeated facial expression by relaxing tension in the surface layers. This results in a visibly smoother more refined and more relaxed looking complexion.

Unlike peptides that stimulate collagen or fibroblast activity, GABA works by helping reduce the appearance of expression-driven lines at the surface. It supports a calmer, softer skin without compromising barrier integrity or relying on aggressive resurfacing.

Gabacare aligns with O COSMEDICS principles of biomimetic technology and corneotherapy by communicating with the skin in a way that respects its natural pathways while supporting cell optimisation. Its instantly smoothing effect pairs well with long-term age management ingredients, helping the skin look both calm and youthfully energised.

Form, Stability & Delivery

Gabacare is a stable, water-soluble active suitable for corrective serums and targeted smoothing treatments. Its structure allows efficient interaction with the skin’s surface receptors.

How GABA Works - Made Simple

1. Expression Line Relaxation
GABA helps calm tension in the upper layers of the skin reducing the appearance of expression lines and creasing.

2. Immediate Smoothing Effect
By softening micro-muscle contraction, Gabacare helps create a smoother more refined skin surface.

3. Supports Skin Calm
The calming action contributes to a more rested less stressed looking complexion.

4. Biomimetic Communication
Because GABA is already recognised by the body, it interacts harmoniously with the skin, aligning with O’s barrier-safe and corneotherapy principles.
