Product summary

"BIOTHERM - BLUE THERAPY ANTI-AGING NIGHT CREAM" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. BIOTHERM - BLUE THERAPY ANTI-AGING NIGHT CREAM ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer, maltitol, butylene glycol and propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, oryza sativa bran oil, cera alba, cera microcristallina and dimethicone) 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

  • Adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: apricot kernel oil and myristyl myristate
