Description

Achieve bright, soft, and smooth skin texture with this moisturizing gel cream that has 5% lactic acid and 1% lactobionic acid, which can renew skin cells and hydrate the skin. Lactic acid promotes collagen production and is effective in reducing pigmentation spots. Safe for use on sensitive, dry, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin types, the moisturizing gel cream with lactic acid (5%) and lactobionic acid (1%) provides multiple benefits for your skin. [1] Lactobionic acid's chemical structure strengthens skin hydration and boosts the production of skin's crucial components [2]. The product's hyaluronic acid component can help diminish wrinkles, heal wounds, and moisturize the skin. Sodium PCA restores natural moisture levels of the skin better than glycerol [4]. Furthermore, this product's inclusion of aloe vera juice strengthens skin's defenses, eases inflammation, and moisturizes. Using this product frequently can lead to obtaining clear, clean, and glowing skin.

Benefits:

  • Gently stimulates skin cell renewal (exfoliation);
  • Cleanses and evens out facial skin tone;
  • Soothes and reduces skin redness;
  • Helps to maintain proper skin moisture level;
  • Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive and/or dry skin.

Scientific validity
  • Consistency of the cream merges lactic and lactobionic acids, which have a gentle impact on the regeneration of skin cells and function as moisturizing agents (humectants). It is also effective for sun-damaged skin due to its antioxidant properties.
  • Lactic acid, (like Sodium lactate), is part of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of the skin. Its distinctive structure permits it to hold water within the skin, resulting in hydration.
  • The presence of lactic acid in skin care products can increase the synthesis of ceramides in the skin. Ceramides play a key role in retaining moisture in the skin by binding water and lipids, which enhances the skin's barrier function and leads to firmer skin and reduction in the appearance of fine lines.
  • Lactobionic acid, a polyhydroxy acid with a higher molecular weight, is an effective exfoliating agent that can be used even on sensitive skin. [2]
  • Real aloe vera juice, sodium PCA, and hyaluronic acid were added to our formula to minimize skin irritation risk by providing moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits. The blend of active components included in this formula is capable of efficiently averting skin redness, flaking and other unwanted responses frequently encountered while using acidic substances. The product owes its hydrating properties to the abundance of hyaluronic acid.
  • The product containing hyaluronic acid minimizes wrinkles caused by premature aging, and helps cure skin discomforts and wounds, thanks to its high compatibility with human skin. [3]
  • Sodium PCA is a component of the natural skin moisturizing factor, or NDF, which helps restore the skin's protective barrier [6].
