Our skin senses the environment and its changes: studies have confirmed that the interaction between the skin's epidermis and nerve endings is involved in sensory functions and that the epidermis can be considered a sensory organ. Discoveries about the receptors with which we sense cold, heat and touch were honored this year with the highest recognition in science - the Nobel Prize, which was awarded to Professor David Julius of the University of California, San Francisco, and Professor Ardem Patapoutian of the Scripps Research Institute in California.
At first, skin sensitivity is an advantage – the skin signals us about changes and quickly adapts to protect itself from the aggressive effects of the environment. However, over time and as irritants become more aggressive, the skin becomes overloaded, reacts more intensely, and various discomforts arise: tightness, stinging, prickling, burning. People tend to describe their skin as reactive, hypersensitive, intolerant of anything, but all these symptoms, no matter how intense, have one biological mechanism – sensitive or sensitized skin, which has difficulty returning to its normal state.
Sensitive skin care products are usually designed to protect the skin by placing it in a “bubble” and isolating it from its natural environment. The skin calms down, but can gradually lose its ability to adapt. When it is exposed to new environmental changes or potential irritants, it starts to react more strongly again. Therefore, the skin does not need increased protection, but rather help to strengthen its self-defense capabilities. So sensitive skin needs an active solution!
To provide unique, complete and active care for sensitive skin, it is necessary to strengthen its self-defense capabilities. BIODERMA's new creams for sensitive and sensitized skin, Sensibio Defensive and Sensibio Defensive rich , are active soothing creams that strengthen the skin's ability to protect itself, regardless of the cause of sensitivity: natural or caused by environmental and lifestyle factors.
Thanks to the Defensive technology in both new creams, which includes biomimetic ingredients, they act on the causes of sensitive skin to prevent sensitive skin reactions, oxidative stress and changes in the skin barrier function caused by aggressive irritants on a daily basis. Carnosine and vitamin E protect the skin from free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Tetrapeptide-10 strengthens the skin barrier function to reduce the penetration of irritants into the skin. Red sage root extract limits the hyperreactivity of sensory nerve fibers and local inflammatory reactions.
When using Sensibio Defensive and Sensibio Defensive rich creams, the skin is actively soothed, its self-defense mechanisms are strengthened, skin hydration is provided for 12 hours, and users have noticed that their quality of life has improved.
Since all skin types can be sensitive, Sensibio Defensive is available in two textures, both of which are quickly absorbed into the skin and do not leave a sticky layer. The Sensibio Defensive cream has a light and refreshing texture, suitable for normal to combination skin. The Sensibio Defensive rich cream has a rich and covering texture, which meets the needs of dry to very dry skin.
Both creams have been tested under the supervision of dermatologists and are very well tolerated. They form a good base for decorative cosmetics.
If you want your sensitive skin to become stronger, use Sensibio Defensive !
