ALFASON Repair Cream, 30 g

Instructions for use for Alfason Repair Cream

Alfason Repair is a special cream that has been specially developed for dry to very dry skin.It is characterized by an immediate and long-term effect and helps to restore the natural skin barrier.

Why does skin become dry?

Many people have naturally dry and sensitive skin, which often worsens with age.External influences such as frequent showers, dry heating air or icy cold can also cause the skin to become rough and cracked.The reason for this is that the skin loses its moisture too quickly due to a damaged skin barrier.Although the skin is moisturized from within, it cannot retain this moisture if the barrier is damaged.

The skin barrier and its function

The top layer of skin has the important job of retaining water in the body and preventing harmful substances from penetrating.It consists of flat horny cells that are surrounded by special barrier fatty substances.These fatty substances include ceramides, free fatty acids and cholesterol.Only when these substances are present in a natural ratio can the skin retain its moisture and feel soft and supple.

If the barrier is disturbed

Every day we remove parts of the skin barrier by washing, rubbing and scrubbing.Water, soap and shampoo dissolve the barrier fatty substances, causing the barrier to become "leaky" and evaporation to increase.The skin tries to protect itself by releasing all available fats within the first few hours.However, this can only restore around 20% of the barrier.Complete regeneration of the barrier can take up to 5 days.If the barrier is repeatedly stressed during this time, it cannot fully regenerate and the skin becomes chronically dry.

How Alfason Repair restores barrier function

Alfason Repair is a special cream that offers both short-term and long-term effects.In contrast to conventional care products, which often only act as a top layer, Alfason Repair reintroduces the three important barrier fatty substances (ceramides, free fatty acids and cholesterol) into the damaged skin barrier.Immediately after application, the cream reduces evaporation through its covering effect.As they further penetrate the stratum corneum, the barrier fatty substances retain moisture for several hours until they are absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin.From there they are released again if necessary.Even a single application of Alfason Repair can rebuild the barrier function and protect the skin for up to 24 hours.

Application of Alfason Repair

Alfason Repair is particularly effective and should be applied thinly to dry areas of skin, for example in the evening.If the skin is particularly stressed, the cream can be used several times a day.Alfason Repair contains no perfume, no preservatives and no dyes.It can also be used in addition to normal skin care.

Special use cases

Alfason Repair is ideal for various applications where the skin is particularly stressed.In winter, dry heating air and icy cold can disrupt the skin's moisture balance, especially on the face and hands.In summer, the soles of the feet and heels require special care.Delicate baby and children's skin as well as skin after recovering from a skin disease also benefit from the intensive follow-up treatment with Alfason Repair.No prescription is required for this product.

Alfason Repair - The special cream for very dry and stressed skin

Alfason Repair is a special cream that has been tried and tested for generations for very dry and stressed skin, especially for skin eczema.The effectiveness of Alfason Repair has been proven in clinical studies.The unique composition of the cream is based on research into the natural skin barrier function and contains skin-identical lipids such as ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids.

Alfason Repair has a triple effect to protect and rebuild a disturbed skin barrier. Immediately after application, moisture loss is reduced by the covering effect, which immediately protects the skin.When they penetrate the stratum corneum, the barrier lipids retain moisture over a long period of time.The lipids are also absorbed into the stores in the top layer of the skin and released again when necessary.Alfason Repair gently nourishes the skin, is quickly absorbed and does not stick.

The cream is highly concentrated and particularly effective.Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once a day, more often if necessary.Alfason Repair is equally suitable for adults and children aged 0 and over.It contains no perfume or preservatives and should be stored at room temperature.No prescription is required for this product.
