A concentrate of active ingredients that includes panthenol, niacinamide, flavonoids, hyaluronic acid and natural extract.
Provitamin B5 (panthenol) is known for its restorative, healing, anti-inflammatory, soothing, regenerating actions. Applied locally, panthenol penetrates the epidermis where it is absorbed by the skin cells and transformed into pantothenic acid, this is where it acts on the hydration of the stratum corneum. In addition, it helps to strengthen the hydrolipidic film, and prevent water loss and dehydration.
Hyaluronic acid helps to restore skin hydration levels, skin barrier functions and has a calming effect.
Niacinamide is an enzyme known to improve skin elasticity, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, to reduce redness and pigment spots as well as sebum secretion. Topical application of niacinamide stabilises the skin barrier and improves the moisture content of the stratum corneum. It also plays a role in DNA repair of keratinocytes damaged by UV exposure.
Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid found in large concentrations in citrus fruits, including lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Hesperidin is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, healing, whitening and improves micro-circulation. The most important benefit of hesperidin is its positive effect on fragile capillaries.
Tasmanian pepper berry extract from Australia decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines and acts immediately to reduce skin itching and relieves the burning sensation related to inflammation. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are responsible for vasodilation of blood vessels causing redness. In clinical studies it has demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect similar to dextametasone. Tasmanian Pepper produces a reduction of itching up to 79% and burning sensation up to 58% of in only 5 minutes.
