BIODERMA care for dry skin

BIODERMA's dermatological advice for dry skin

Dry skin combines feelings of tightness with a greater or lesser degree of cutaneous dryness. There are several different types of dry skin: temporary or permanent dryness caused by external elements, like climatic conditions or cosmetics use. Dry skin can also be linked to medicines being taken locally (anti-acne or anti-ageing treatment) or orally (anti-acne or anti-cholesterol treatment ...). Permanent dry skin also refers to natural cutaneous ageing. The skin becomes dull and rough. The epidermis becomes thinner as the cellular renewal process slows down, and the corneal layer thickens.

 

BIODERMA's care for very dry skin

Very dry skin suffers from intense, chronic irritation that can sometimes cause itching. This type of cutaneous dryness is common in children: almost 10% of children under the age of 10 are affected in developed countries. This type of intense, chronic dryness thus evolves in successive phases of surges and remissions.

This type of dry skin is often due to a shortage of fats. This abnormality results in the excessive evaporation of the water present in the body on the surface of the skin. The dry skin no longer performs an effective barrier role, and it no longer protects the body against external attack.  The very dry skin then becomes even more permeable to allergens, and an acute inflammatory reaction may well occur.

 

Atoderm helps dry skin to find its natural balance

Thanks to a unique, innovative formula, Atoderm PP stimulates the natural cutaneous barrier repair process. Vitamin PP helps the dry skin cells to naturally produce the lipids (ceramides, free fatty acids and cholesterol) needed for effective cohesion of the intercellular cement. Dampening and moisturising active ingredients strengthen the barrier role of the lipids. Atoderm PP thus restores a comfortable moisturisation level. Its formulation and the absence of fragrance guarantee optimum tolerance. Atoderm PP texture spreads easily and penetrates fast into dry skin.

Rich in purifying agents, Atoderm PO zinc restricts the proliferation of micro-organisms, irritant elements responsible for aggravating the dry skin condition. Atoderm PO zinc quickly reduces any redness. Thanks to the effectiveness of its moistening and anti-dehydration agents, Atoderm PO zinc strengthens the cutaneous barrier. Then the dry skin is hydrated and soothed, with renewed softness and suppleness.
