Developed specifically for dry to very dry skin – it supplies the skin with precious moisture for 24 hours.
Insufficient humidity, environmental stress and temperature fluctuations dry the skin out. It becomes dull and rough and loses its natural beauty. The skin therefore needs daily care that protects it from drying out and keeps it vital and supple.
This intensive cream was developed specifically for dry to very dry skin and supplies it with precious moisture for 24 hours. To find out which skin type you have, see the overview of skin types.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 increases the skin’s moisture content by promoting the formation of the membrane protein aquaporin-3 (AQP3). Because AQP3 forms “water channels” in the cell membranes, the flow of water from the basal layer of the epidermis into the stratum corneum improves. The peptide active also increases collagen I synthesis and keratinocyte proliferation.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 inhibits the formation of interleukin 6 (IL-6), which is involved in inflammatory processes in the skin. A lower IL-6 concentration slows inflammation-driven breakdown of the cell matrix. The active also supports the skin’s own moisture regulation.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptidee contains a fragment of type I collagen in its structure. Its effect is based on increased collagen synthesis, which is likely to rest on a feedback mechanism.
Urea occurs naturally in the skin at a concentration of 8–11 µg per square centimetre; where the value falls below this, the skin is usually dry. Applied externally at concentrations of 1 to 3 %, urea raises the level again and has a moisturising effect thanks to its water-binding properties. Higher concentrations are not useful, as urea acts keratoplastically from 3 to 5 % and keratolytically above that.
As provitamin B5, D-panthenol belongs to the vitamin B complex. It increases the skin’s capacity to retain moisture and promotes the formation of new cells. It is therefore also used pharmaceutically as an active in many healing ointments.
Bisabolol is the principal anti-inflammatory active in chamomile oil. It also has a wound-healing effect.
Vitamin E is a component of all human cell membranes, but is produced only by photosynthetically active organisms such as plants and cyanobacteria. As a lipid-soluble antioxidant it protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids, lipoproteins and depot fat from destruction by oxidation. Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E with a pronounced radical-scavenging effect.
Shea butter contains a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols. These are incorporated into the lipid layers of the skin in greater quantity and thereby strengthen its barrier. Shea butter improves the skin’s lipid mantle and protective layer.
Apricot kernel oil absorbs quickly after application and leaves virtually no sheen. It improves the skin’s lipid mantle and protective layer.
In the evening, apply a thin layer of the cream to the face and neck using light circular movements.
