Acne doesn't just affect young people

Have you noticed how often the market for products for impure and acne-prone skin offers solutions designed exclusively for young people?

Looking around, you will notice how these products are often formulated to meet the needs of oily adolescent skin. The result are serums and creams that they tend to leave the skin dry and tight, to compensate for the oiliness that these adolescent skins are normally affected by.

Hello! Mature skin needs hydration!

Dry and tight skin is certainly the furthest thing from the needs of mature skin, which it instead needs keep well hydrated!

The causes are physiological, and are linked to the chrono aging process. Theskin aging involves the natural slowdown in the production of all those elements that give elasticity and tone to the skin from birth:

• Hyaluronic acid | essential to ensure hydration and tone of the skin
• Collagen and elastin | two fundamental elements that give elasticity and softness to the skin, which therefore appears toneless and relaxed over the years

Exfoliate yes, but without alcohol!

Alcohol is often used in cosmetics. It is mainly chosen to give a sensation of freshness to the product or is used as a solvent. This is the case of products based on salicylic acid, a substance notoriously insoluble in water, which requires an alcoholic solution to be used in cosmetics.

Alcohol in cosmetics: all limits

Alcohol, if used in small quantities, is not in itself a harmful element for the skin.

However, if used often or at high concentrations it is capable of alter the hydrolipidic film of the skin.

Removing lipid substances from the stratum corneum means going to compromising the skin barrier function making the membrane more permeable and more subject to external "aggressions".

How much further away from the needs of one more sensitive skin!

Alcohol-free cosmetic for impure skin: discover its advantages

Our Ksurgery researchers know how easily alcohol can dehydrate the skin, alternating its hydrolipidic film, providing a too aggressive reaction for sensitive mature skin, with an atopic tendency and low tolerability.

Here's the line SMOOTH | REPAIR AND REGENERATE offers alcohol-free formulas, more delicate for mature and sensitive skin.

Mature skin cream: better to eliminate comedogenic substances

Comedogenic substances are ingredients used in cosmetics that cause comedogenicity phenomenon: i.e. the closure of the sebaceous follicle due to the accumulation of material of a different nature (e.g. cells of the stratum corneum, sebum and impurities)

The most common comedogenic substances are paraffins, mineral oils and silicones, which are often chosen for their product preservative capabilities.

All products in the line SMOOTH | REPAIR AND REGENERATE I am free of comedogenic substances, therefore they better support impure and acne-prone skin in its regeneration.
