Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Skintegra - Cica-Cera" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Skintegra - Cica-Cera ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, arginine, betaine, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate) 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 (ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cholesterol and arginine) 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

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide eop 0.35% - 0.60%, ceramide ap 0.45% - 0.70% and ceramide np 0.55% - 0.85%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • This formulation also includes actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (its other name is Gotu Kola): asiaticoside 0.25% - 0.45%, madecassic acid 0.35% - 0.60%, asiatic acid 0.40% - 0.60% and madecassoside 0.45% - 0.65% The Centella Asiatica actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
  • This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 4.10% - 5.00%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
