“Deliver deep hydration whilst maximising the efficacy of BIOEFFECT serums with specially formulated ingredients that don’t interfere with the innovative Epidermal Growth Factor activity.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: chondrus crispus extract, hydrogenated polydecene.

“Epidermal Growth Factors are essential in skin cells to boost the production of collagen and elastin as well as increasing skin’s ability to hold onto moisture for a healthy, moisturised and dense skin.”
