The skin protect complex™ containing vitamin pp and a combination of two sugars physically and biologically recreates a healthy skin barrier and helps maintain the skin water reserves, thus making the skin comfortable again: Vitamin pp, by stimulating the synthesis of lipids, helps restructure the skin barrier, which improves the skin’s suppleness and restores its comfort durably. The combination of sugars optimises the skin’s water reserves and facilitates the hydric flow through the skin’s layers by increasing the synthesis of aquaporins (water channels). This provides deep hydration for 24 hours*; to support this action, it stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, a highly hygroscopic molecule. The presence of glycerine and vaseline in these treatments helps correct the lack of skin hydration, by capturing water outside of the body.
