translating negative values to positive

I am trying to create an expression slider which when increased simultaneously blows out the luminance values while desaturating the video. I've easily attached the glow parameter but when using Hue & Saturation the desaturation value is in the opposite direction (negative value)

what expression do I need so the value works when the slider moves up in positive values?
