Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "BIOHEAL BOH - PANTHECELL Repair Cica Cream Mist" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, panthenol and betaine in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tripeptide-1, beta-sitosterol, chondrus crispus extract, helianthus annuus seed oil and hydrogenated poly (c6-14 olefin)) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.30% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.60%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.30% - 0.55%, nonapeptide-1 0.35% - 0.60%, copper tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.40% - 0.65%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.45% - 0.65%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.45% - 0.70%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.50% - 0.75%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.55% - 0.85%, ascorbic acid polypeptide 0.65% - 1.00% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.95% - 1.15%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
