SLC5A2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are widely used for Type 2 diabetes and weight management but may adversely affect skin quality, resulting in dermal thinning, decreased elasticity, and accelerated aging—a phenomenon referred to as “GLP-1 Face.” A novel topical serum, GLPSGLT (Aforé LLC), was developed to counteract these effects using a proprietary blend of a bioavailable retinoic acid derivative, peptides, and botanical agents to support keratinocyte function and dermal repair.
