  • Sun-damaged skin: Soothe and repair skin affected by sun damage.
  • Sensitive skin: The gentle formulation is suitable for sensitive skin, providing nourishment without causing irritation.
  • Rough or uneven skin texture: Improve skin texture by providing nutrients and hydration.

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.

HYDRABASE™ BODY LOTION MODE OF ACTION

Deep Hydration

The presence of medical glycerin, d-Panthenol, and Hyaluronic acid ensures that the skin is supplied with continuous moisture, thus reducing dryness and improving overall hydration.

Skin Barrier Repair

The combination of Ceramides, fatty acids, and Cholesterol in Hydrabase reinforces and restores the skin's natural barrier, helping it retain moisture and protecting it from external irritants.

Anti-aging

Niacinamide supports skin cell renewal and collagen synthesis, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging, resulting in a revitalized and youthful complexion.

Improved skin texture and elasticity

By supplying the skin with essential nutrients and hydration, Hydrabase supports the improvement of skin texture and elasticity, making it appear smoother and more supple.

Sun-damaged Skin Repair

Hydrabase's nourishing ingredients help to replenish and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, promoting the skin's natural healing process and reducing the impact of sun damage.

Soothing and Calming

The gentle formulation of Hydrabase is designed to provide soothing relief to sensitive and irritated skin, reducing inflammation and promoting skin comfort.

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.

PERMEABILITY BARRIER

(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

HYDRABASE™ 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 Hydrabase 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 Hydrabase 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.

Great

I ordered my Dermexel AOPB package 2 months ago. I find the products are great and do what they promise. I do, however, find it expensive.

Renewal Facial Cleanser

Amazing!

I’ve been using the renewal facial cleanser for a while now and also now throughout my pregnancy. It’s kept my skin feeling and looking great despite all the hormones happening. I used this in combination with the SPF 50 and also had no pigmentation happening during my pregnancy. Overall, it’s a great product.
