Gliadines have high molecular weight which explain their filmogen activity. They form a film on skin producing a tensor effect. Gliadines reduce wrinkles, implying a softening effect and can be considered as an excellent substitute to collagen. Furthermore, Gliadines form on skin a network with high hygroscopic properties involving moisturizing effect on the superficial layer of skin. This active has a large capacity of water retention. Gliadines have viscosity effect. The composition in amino acids allows a nutritive action on skin. Gliadines make a tensor effect on skin, inducing firmness and giving good feeling of revitalized skin.
