Abstract: The present invention relates to novel C-glycoside compounds of given absolute configuration, to a process for synthesizing them and to compositions containing them. The invention also relates to the cosmetic use of these C-glycoside compounds as agents to stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans containing a D-glucosamine and/or N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue, advantageously hyaluronic acid, and/or of proteoglycans, advantageously proteoglycans containing hyaluronic acid, by fibroblasts and/or keratinocytes. The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin materials using a composition containing at least one C-glycoside compound according to the invention.
