Your most frequently asked questions about Intensive Eye Cream
We recommend using a moisturising eye contour care product from the age of 25, as this is when skin aging begins. Progressive oxidative stress and collagen loss contribute to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. This is why prevention is crucial. By incorporating an eye contour care product into your routine, you can help hydrate the skin and delay the onset of visible ageing. Atoderm Intensive Eye is formulated for eyelid atopy, specifically addressing inflammation and irritation.
A moisturiser provides dry skin with much needed water and lipids. It helps the skin retain water better, limiting transepidermal water loss (TEWL) – a natural process that occurs as the epidermis is porous. Moisturising and lipid-replenishing agents help restore the skin's barrier function and hydrolipidic film, making dry skin less porous, tighter and less vulnerable to different kinds of stressors. Moisturisers are designed to soothe the skin and relieve discomfort caused by dryness.
If you have dry to very dry skin, you may often experience discomfort including tightness, tingling, cracking and unpleasant itching sensations. Some people also suffer from redness, flaking, or roughness. Dry skin is common in babies, who produce little or no sebum, and in the elderly. However, many adults are also affected. If you suffer from atopic dermatitis, your skin will be very dry with characteristic patches of atopic eczema, which can cause intense itching sensations and a risk of infection if scratched. Many babies and children are prone to atopic dermatitis (or atopic eczema) on the face and body. Adults may also get it on their hands and eyelids.
Dry skin craves comfort and suppleness. Choosing the right moisturiser can make all the difference. Effective moisturisers for dry to very dry skin provide: Hydration: Ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin draw water into the upper layers of the skin, deeply hydrating it. These are called humectants. Nourishment and protection: Plant oils, Shea Butter and Squalene are ingredients celebrated for their emollient properties. These essential lipids provide nourishment to the skin and create a protective barrier, preventing water loss and the penetration of external irritants.
