WHAT IS DRY SKIN?
- Dry skin is characterised by the lack of moisture in the stratum corneum (SC). This is the outermost skin layer.
- Water is the major softener of the skin, and when levels are low, cracks and fissures occur.
- For the skin to appear and feel normal, the water content of the SC must be greater than 10%.
- A disruption or defect in the skin's permeability barrier, allows excessive water to be lost from within the skin into the atmosphere. Referred to as transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- When skin becomes too dry, the outer skin layers stiffen and may develop cracks. The cracks become fissures in the skin that become irritated, inflamed, and itchy.
CUREXEMA™ BODY CREAM MODE OF ACTION
Deep & Intense Hydration
Eczema-prone skin often suffers from insufficient hydration, worsening symptoms and making the skin more prone to damage.
Curexema's Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin help attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and promoting a healthy skin barrier. Adequate hydration is essential for managing eczema and preventing flare-ups.
Skin Barrier Repair
Eczema often results from a compromised skin barrier, which leads to increased water loss, inflammation, and susceptibility to irritants.
Curexema's advanced Dual Lipid Bilayer Technology creates a double structural layer on the skin's surface, reinforcing and repairing the skin's natural barrier. This helps regulate water loss and prevents irritants from penetrating the skin, reducing eczema flare-ups.
Nourishing lipids
The skin's lipid barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, and disruptions in its function can exacerbate eczema.
Curexema contains nourishing lipids, including Ceramides, essential fatty acids, and Cholesterol, which help rebuild the skin's epidermal barrier and restore structural integrity. This provides the necessary moisture and nourishment to the skin, promoting a healthy skin barrier and reducing eczema symptoms.
Skin cell repair and regeneration
Eczema is characterized by a dysfunctional skin barrier, leading to many complications. By repairing and regenerating skin cells, the integrity of the skin barrier can be restored, preventing further moisture loss and reducing the skin's susceptibility to external factors that may trigger eczema flare-ups.
Niacinamide, a key ingredient in Curexema, provides skin cells with the necessary energy to repair themselves. This supports the skin's natural healing process and helps restore damaged or compromised skin, further promoting healthy, restored skin.
Reducing inflammation
Eczema is characterized by inflammation, contributing to symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling.
Curexema's formula includes potent active ingredients, including Niacinamide, d-Panthenol, and Glycerin, which work together to reduce inflammation, protect the skin's barrier function, and improve skin texture and resilience.
Maintain healthy skin microbiome and preventing infection
Eczema is associated with an imbalance in the skin microbiome and secondary infections due to broken skin or excessive scratching.
Curexema promotes a healthy skin barrier essential for preventing the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms and reducing the risk of infection.
SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION
The 2 PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THE skin barrier
PERMEABILITY BARRIER
Creating a barrier against electrolytes- and moisture loss (TEWL - Trans-epidermal Water loss).
This function protects the skin against becoming dry.
ANTIMICROBIAL BARRIER
Creating a barrier against the entry of unwanted micro-organisms such as allergens and irritants.
This function protects the skin against irritant dermatitis and skin infections.

Creating a barrier against electrolytes- and moisture loss
(TEWL - Trans-epidermal Water loss).
This function protects the skin against becoming dry.
ANTIMICROBIAL BARRIER
Creating a barrier against the entry of unwanted microorganisms such as allergens and irritants.
This function protects the skin against irritant dermatitis and skin infections.
Both of these barriers are localised primarily to the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).
When these barrier functions are impaired, the result is: DRY SKIN

DRY SKINCUREXEMA™ MOISTURISER CLASSES MODE OF ACTION
PHYSIOLOGIC LIPID-BASED BARRIER REPAIR
- Barrier repair: Amplifies lipid production and replenishes the lamellar bilayers that are critical for normal barrier function and antimicrobial defense. It is quickly absorbed into the underlying nucleated cell layers, where they incorporate into lamellar bodies.
- Accelerated healing: Promote skin healing and regeneration, particularly in damaged or compromised skin barriers.
- Improved skin texture: Restore the skin's lipid balance, resulting in smoother, more supple skin and improved overall texture.
- Enhanced skin resilience: By reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, the triple lipid therapy increases the skin's resilience against environmental stressors, irritants, and allergens, which can exacerbate dry skin conditions.
- Reduced inflammation: Reduce inflammation associated with dry skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, relieving redness and irritation.
Physiologically replenish the lipid bilayers that are critical for normal barrier function and antimicrobial defence.
EMOLLIENTS
- Skin barrier repair: Strengthen and restore the skin's lipid barrier, which is responsible for retaining moisture and protecting the skin from irritants, allergens, and harmful microorganisms.
- Soothing: Soothe and calm irritated skin by reducing friction and providing a smooth, protective layer on the skin. This helps alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation.
- Skin softening: Soften rough, dry, or scaly skin by providing hydration and promoting the natural shedding of dead skin cells. This leads to smoother, healthier-looking skin.
- Improved skin texture: By hydrating and softening the skin, emollients can improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin, making it look and feel healthier and more radiant.
The emollients in Curexema contribute to healthier, more comfortable skin.
HUMECTANTS
- Moisture retention: Humectants are hygroscopic, meaning they can absorb water from their surrounding environment. They draw moisture from the air and bind it to the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated.
- Enhanced penetration: Improve the absorption of other beneficial ingredients in the Curexema formulation, enabling these ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide their intended benefits more effectively.
- Skin barrier support: By increasing the skin's hydration levels, humectants help support the skin's natural barrier function, which protects the skin from irritants, allergens, and harmful microorganisms.
- Skin plumping: As humectants increase the skin's water content, they create a plumping effect, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
- Soothing: Soothe irritated or inflamed skin by providing hydration and reducing dryness, which may contribute to itching, redness, and discomfort.
The humectants in Curexema attract and retain moisture within the skin, supporting its overall hydration and health.
OCCLUSIVES
- Water loss prevention: Occlusives create a physical barrier on the skin's surface, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This helps to maintain hydration levels within the skin and prevent excessive dryness or dehydration.
- Skin barrier support: By sealing in moisture and reducing water loss, occlusives help support and strengthen the skin's natural barrier function, which protects the skin from external irritants, allergens, and harmful microorganisms.
- Healing promotion: Occlusives create a semi-occlusive barrier that provides an optimal environment for the skin to heal, particularly in cases of damaged or compromised skin barriers, as seen in conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
- Protection from environmental factors: The barrier created by occlusives helps shield the skin from environmental factors like harsh weather conditions, pollution, and irritants that may contribute to skin dryness or irritation.
The occlusives in Curexema form a protective barrier on the skin's surface, which helps to seal in moisture and prevent water loss.
