Description
Physiogel Cream/Lotion is a skin moisturizer that repairs, restores, and protects very dry, irritated, and sensitive skin. The Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) base used in Physiogel products is made up of natural lipids similar to the skin's (epidermis) physiologic lipids, which are natural and essential components of normal healthy skin.
Physiogel revitalizes very dry, irritated, and sensitive skin, helps retain skin moisture, and prevents skin dryness. It regenerates the skin lipid barrier, reduces water loss, and provides protection against environmental triggers.
Indications
- Very dry skin
- Irritated and sensitive skin
- Prevention of skin dryness
- Skin barrier restoration
Therapeutic class
Dermatological Skin Care
Pharmacological class
Skin Moisturizer / Barrier Repair
Pharmacology
Physiogel uses DMS (Derma Membrane Structure) technology to deliver lipids similar to the skin's natural physiological lipids. It restores the skin lipid barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and provides protection against environmental triggers. The lipid composition of Physiogel mimics the physiological lipids of healthy skin, helping to maintain long-term hydration and prevent dryness.
Mechanism of action
Physiogel works by mimicking the skin's natural lipid barrier. It supplies lipids to the skin's outer layer, enhancing moisture retention, reducing water loss, and protecting the skin from external irritants.
Dosage
Cream: Apply a thin layer once or twice daily on hands, face, and particularly dry areas.
Lotion: Apply once or twice daily. Ideal for the entire body.
Note: Clean and dry the skin before application. Use as needed.
