| Intensive Cream dry skin
Product Information:
This deeply moisturizing intensive cream was especially developed for dry skin. Your skin is intensively hydrated for up to 24 hours from the inside. The soft texture enriched with lipids envelops your skin regenerating it's natural defences and the skin is once again supple and smooth. It contains the following active ingredients:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-37
Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 improves skin moisturisation via an enhanced aquaporin 3 (AQP3) expression. As this membrane protein is involved in water transport through the different tissue layers, an increased concentration of it in the skin improves the water flux from the basal layer of the epidermis to the stratum corneum. Moreover, Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 improves the barrier function and increases collagen I synthesis and keratinocyte proliferation. Evidence for the efficacy of this selective pore forming protein has already been provided by various studies. A panel of 20 female volunteers, for instance, aged from 30 to 50 applied a cream containing Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 for 56 days twice a day resulting in a by 131% improved skin moisturisation. more....
Urea
Urea (carbamide) is present in the skin in a concentration of 8-11 µg per square centimetre. In case of dry skin values are often below that. Due to the application of topical formulations containing 1-3% Urea, however, the concentration can be increased. Because of its high water binding properties Urea promotes rehydration of the skin. As Urea has a keratoplastic effect when being used in concentrations between 3-5% and is even keratolytic when being used in higher concentrations than that, the application of such high concentrations does not seem to be appropriate.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 inhibits the expression of interleukine 6 (IL-6) being responsible for inflammatory processes in the skin. By reducing the IL-6 concentration in skin inflammation mediated degradation processes of the extracellular matrix are reduced. Skin aging is consequently slowed down. more....
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide has the same structure as a certain substructure of collagen type I. Its effect is explained by an improved collagen synthesis based on a feedback regulation mechanism. more....
Panthenol
D-Panthenol is a provitamin of vitamin B5. It improves skin hydration, reduces itching and inflammation of the skin and accelerates and improves wound healing. Because of these properties it is used in many pharmaceutical creams.
Bisabolol
Bisabolol is the anti-inflammatory lead component of chamomile oil. In addition, it has wound healing properties.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a component of all cell membranes. It has many biological functions, the antioxidant function being the most important. It protects unsaturated fatty acids of membrane lipids, lipoproteins and fats towards degradation by oxidation. Furthermore, vitamin E exhibits pronounced free radical scavenger properties providing a protective effect towards degradation processes being mediated by such radicals.
Shea Butter
Shea butter contains many unsaturated fatty acid and phytosterines. They are incorporated in the lipid layer of the skin improving the protective lipid coat of the skin and skin barrier function.
Apricot Oil
Apricot oil shows easy skin penetration and does not leave an oily shine. It improves the protective lipid coat of the skin and skin barrier function.
Tolerability:
This intensive cream is free from PEG, PEGylated emulsifying agents, paraffins, sodium dedecyl sulfate and parabens. It is non-comedogenic.
