Description

Moisturizing face toner is designed to balance the pH of the skin and prepare it for the following care steps. The combination of hyaluronic acid , betaine , allantoin and polysaccharides in the formula helps moisturize the skin and soothe irritations. Hyaluronic acid, due to its high biocompatibility with human skin, helps reduce wrinkles caused by premature aging, reduces skin irritations, promotes wound healing and moisturizes it [ 1 ]. Betaine is a humectant and gives it elasticity and plumpness. This ingredient increases the skin's moisture level and reduces the depth of wrinkles [2]. Allantoin promotes wound healing and healthy tissue growth, reduces irritation and helps to restore the skin's moisture level, elasticity, and has antioxidant properties [3]. Inulin is a complex carbohydrate that has prebiotic properties and improves the condition of sensitive, reactive skin and helps it to better tolerate common preservatives in cosmetic products. Inulin has humectant properties as it can bind water and help slow transepidermal water loss [4-6]. 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 [7]. Using the product regularly will reduce skin irritations, dryness and increase the effectiveness of other products used after the tonic.

Scientific validity

Xylitol complexbased on the 3D hydration hydroconcept, designed to maintain moisture circulation in all skin layers and increase the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and reduce skin irritation and inflammatory processes.

Polysaccharide inulinhas prebiotic properties that help improve the skinmicrobiotaand slow down transepidermal water loss or TEWL (transepidermal water loss) [5].

Prebioticspromotes the growth of good bacteria that destroy acne-causing bacteria and maintains a healthy balance of the skin's protective layer.

In the productHyaluronic aciddue to its high biocompatibility with human skin, it helps reduce wrinkles caused by premature aging, reduces skin irritations, promotes wound healing and moisturizes it [1];

Allantoinsoothes 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 soften the skin's reaction to stronger active ingredients necessary to solve specific skin problems, making it an effective ingredient in skin care after various chemical peels (peels) [3, 8].

Betaineis 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 [2].

Aquaxyl™ compleximproves the surface of the skin and enhances the synthesis of essential lipids and proteins involved in the formation of the stratum corneum [7]. 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.
