Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol participates in numerous metabolic processes (e.g. energy production, synthesis of fatty acids) and helps to improve hydration in the outermost layers of the skin. Panthenol converts into Panthotenic Acid (a B-Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness. It is also an effective moisturizer. Very well absorbed by the skin, it regenerates, stimulates epithelialisation and wound healing. It alleviates irritation and inflammation.
Glycerin – sometimes spelt `Glycerine` and also known as Glycerol – is a humectant which means it helps attract water and keep it in the skin. It is a very effective moisturizer that smooths dry skin and gives it long-lasting moisturization and care. It is both colorless and odorless.
Skin’s surface is covered by a protective acid mantle which gives it a mildly acidic pH. This pH plays an important role in skin condition and is key to skin’s protective barrier. It neutralizes alkaline-based aggressors (such as harsh surfactants), supports the essential process of shedding dead skin cells (known as desquamation) and creates the optimal environment in which skin’s natural flora can thrive.
When skin’s pH alters its barrier function is compromised. Water loss increases and skin dries out making it more susceptible to external irritants and sensitivity.
The Eucerin pH Balance System contains pH5 Citrate Buffer to restore and support skin’s optimal pH. This helps to strengthen skin’s barrier function, protect its natural defences and make skin less sensitive.
How can I be sure that your products are safe for my sensitive skin?
Eucerin pH5 Soft Body Cream has been specially formulated to combine excellent skin protection and regeneration with clinically proven skin tolerability. Eucerin pH5 Soft Body Cream is suitable for frequent use on skin that is prone to type 1 allergies such as Hay Fever.
Before applying a new product all over your body, test it first by applying it repeatedly to the skin on the inside of your elbow. If there’s no reaction (e.g. redness, swelling or itching) then it’s safe to assume the product is compatible with your skin. If you have any concerns, we recommend that you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for their advice.
Why does skin need protection?
Skin is one of our most important protective barriers. It defends the body from external influences such as pollution, UV light and chemicals. But these external forces can impact on skin, causing it to become stressed. When skin is stressed it is unable to maintain its natural balance and bind in water. The skin barrier function is impaired, and it becomes prone to irritation and sensitivity. It’s important that we protect our skin so that it, in turn, can carry on its important work of protecting us.
What are the active ingredients in the Eucerin pH5 Soft Body Cream?
Eucerin pH5 Soft Body Cream contains mild ingredients that have been clinically and dermatologically tested and proven to restore skin’s optimal pH and protect its natural defences, making it more resilient and less sensitive to environmental triggers.
These include Citrate Buffer, a derivative of Citric Acid that restores and supports skin’s optimal pH, and Dexpanthenol, an active ingredient known for its regenerative properties. Dexpanthenol increases skin’s resilience to irritation, has wound healing properties, and leaves skin looking and feeling soft and smooth.
Eucerin pH5 Soft Body Cream has excellent skin compatibility with dry sensitive skin.
