Intensive moisturizing face cream, 30 ml

1. Hyaluronic acid in the product, due to its high biocompatibility with human skin, helps reduce wrinkles caused by premature aging, reduces skin irritations, promotes wound healing and moisturizes it [2];
2. Allantoin soothes skin irritations and has skin moisturizing properties, so this ingredient is often used in products for sensitive or damaged skin. In addition, allantoin helps to moderate the skin's reaction to stronger active ingredients necessary to address specific skin problems, making it an effective ingredient in skin care after various chemical peels (peelings) [2, 11].
3. The Aquaxyl™ complex improves the skin's surface and enhances the synthesis of essential lipids and proteins involved in the formation of the stratum corneum [15]. This complex not only helps to attract moisture to the deeper layers of the skin, but also helps to retain it by reducing transepidermal water loss.
4. Rosehip seed oil moisturizes the skin and contains beneficial fatty acids that help restore the hydrolipidic barrier and even out skin tone [3]. In addition, this oil helps reduce erythema [12].
5. Betaine is an excellent moisturizer and an ingredient widely used in anti-aging cosmetic products. Betaine helps transport water into the deeper layers of the skin, reduces the depth of wrinkles and helps protect the skin from free radical damage [4].
6. Oat extract helps to care for dry, irritated skin. This extract is rich in omega-3 linoleic and omega-6 linolenic acids and fatty acids, which are necessary for the barrier function of the skin [5-9]. As a result, this ingredient helps reduce irritated and dry skin.
7. Rice protein is classified as an enzyme inhibitor that blocks the activity of metalloproteases (MMPs) and is therefore considered an effective antiaging ingredient with antioxidant effects [10]. Metalloproteases are enzymes that can damage collagen fibers and this is one of the essential mechanisms of aging.

Hyaluronic acid (INCI: SODIUM HYALURONATE)

Hyaluronic acid
acid occurs naturally in the human body and is important for various tissues,
component such as skin and connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid
ensures soft and smooth skin as it can bind water well. However, with
with age, the body produces significantly less hyaluronic acid. Because of this
the reason is that in old age the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles form.
To prevent this process, hyaluronic acid is often used as an anti-aging agent
inhibitory active ingredient in products such as eye creams, skin and
face creams, as well as facial masks. In these products
the job of hyaluronic acid is to retain moisture in the skin by binding water
in the upper layer of cells. In this way, visible skin can be softened
signs of aging [13].

Allantoin (INCI: ALLANTOIN)

Allantoin
is a product of protein metabolism that occurs in the urine of mammals and many
plants (barks of horse chestnuts, roots of common jam and scorzonera
(black salsify), maple, wheat germ, etc.). White odorless substance
are soluble in water and fat. Allantoin has a soothing and protective effect on the skin
effect. In addition, it accelerates cell formation or cell regeneration.
Many cleansers that contain allantoin have an additional
protective effect. It helps to preserve natural moisture such as
in the sensitive eye area. In skin care creams experiencing stress or
Emulsions contain especially many structure-improving ingredients such as
allantoin, which makes the skin smoother and softer. Allantoin in the hands
in care products, makes the skin soft and smooth again, if the skin of the hands is
rough, cracked [14].

Rose hip seed oil (INCI: ROSA
CANINA SEED OIL)

It is a great skin softener and moisturizer
vegetable oil rich in fatty acids (linoleic acid 51%, linolenic
acid 19% and oleic acid 20%). Suitable for all skin types, even acne
damaged skin [3, 17].

AQUAXYL™ (INCI: XYLITYLGLUCOSIDE, ANHYDROXYLITOL, XYLITOL)

How AQUAXYL™ works
based on the maintenance of moisture circulation in all skin layers and hyaluronan
increasing acid synthesis. This mixture of active ingredients strengthens the skin
protective barrier within 24 hours and stops water loss through the skin.
The results are softer, smoother skin in 28 days. AQUAXYL™ strengthens essential lipids and proteins,
involved in the formation of the stratum corneum, synthesis. The ingredient has COSMOS,
ECOCERT and Natrue certificates [15].

Betaine (INCI: BETAINE)

Betaine is
a humectant ingredient that can be plant-based or
synthetic. It is also found naturally in our skin. This ingredient
commonly known as an osmolyte: a substance that helps the skin adapt to
moisture loss and gain or a substance that balances the skin
hydration. Betaine is often added to cleansers because of its soothing properties
with properties that help to compensate for possible irritant surfactants
effects of substances. It is also used as a hair conditioner
ingredient. More recent research suggests that betaine acts as a tyrosinase
inhibitor and can be used as an ingredient that helps
even out uneven skin tone [4].
