Product summary

"Cuskin - Dr. Solution Cicaming Lotion" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Cuskin - Dr. Solution Cicaming Lotion ticks this box. Arginine, glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer and sodium hyaluronate 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 (arginine, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, octyldodecyl myristate and c12-16 alcohols) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
