Pharmacological properties

This tool belongs to the category of dermatotropic drugs intended for external use.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The cream is an external agent containing a large amount of lipids. The product is intended for skin care.

When used topically, the product forms a protective layer on the skin, which has a waterproof effect. The active ingredients of the cream prevent the skin from drying out.

The drug is used as a care agent, the action of which is aimed at restoring the protective function of the skin barrier. In this case, a moisturizing effect is noted, which persists for a long time on the skin.

Due to the lipids contained in the cream (free fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol), the penetration of these components into the protective barrier of the skin is noted.

The drug has an occlusive effect, due to which there is an obstacle to the loss of fluid from the skin. The action of the tool occurs immediately after its application to problem areas.

Once in the corneal layer, the active ingredients replace the missing substances in the epidermis, which allows you to achieve the effect of moisture, which lasts for several hours. Then the lipid components penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis and penetrate into the lamellar bodies.

Thanks to this mechanism of action, the water-lipid balance is maintained. At the same time, the natural processes of lipid formation are preserved.

A single use of the cream allows you to achieve a moisturizing effect and keep it throughout the day.

The tool helps to reduce the need for topical steroid drugs.
