Dry delicate facial skin, like no other type of dermis, is susceptible to the formation of peeling, tightness and various redness. The reasons can be very different: from windy frosty weather to the negative effects of harmful substances in the environment. To prevent the harmful effects of environmental and weather conditions on dry skin, well-known pharmaceutical brands are developing the latest products for the care of atopic skin. One such product is Bepanten Derma, created by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer.
Effect of Bepanten-Derma cream (Derma)
The new line of the German holding includes 5 unique products, which include active provitamin B5. Its action is aimed at intensively moisturizing the skin and nourishing dehydrated epidermal cells. D-panthenol is a viscous transparent substance that has a healing effect even in its pure form.
Cosmetics based on provitamin B5 have a pronounced regenerating effect, due to which the upper layers of the dermis are instantly restored. This beneficial effect of D-panthenol on dry skin has been repeatedly proven in clinical settings, as evidenced by positive results of laboratory studies.

Description:
Bepanten Derma-Cream-Restorer for legs 100 ml
Are you worried about dry, flaky, keratinized skin on your feet? Dry skin is a condition in which the skin quickly loses moisture, peeling, cracking, and a feeling of dryness and tightness of the skin appear. It occurs due to disruptions in the functioning of the skin's protective mechanisms, which create a barrier to excess moisture loss.
Applying cosmetics allows you to temporarily restore protective mechanisms and reduce the appearance of dryness and tightness, but this does not always allow you to achieve a lasting result.
For a long-lasting effect, it is necessary to use products that support the skin’s protective mechanisms not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

Ingredients of the drug for very dry skin: D-panthenol, vitamin B
In addition to D-panthenol, the Bepanten Derma line also includes a special lipid complex , which saturates skin cells with moisture and helps normalize the hydrolipid balance. The advantage is that the products do not contain hormonal components that can cause addiction to the drug.
The rich content of vitamin B activates the process of collagen production, which eliminates the first signs of aging and also produces an intense lifting effect. When developing the line, the latest Nanosorb technology was used, which made it possible to enrich the products with microparticles of useful substances, similar to liposomes.

Approximate composition of Bepanten cream.
The light texture of the cream does not leave an unpleasant greasy film on the face and instantly penetrates the structure of the epithelium. As a result, dry facial skin is moisturized, nourished and free from an uncomfortable feeling of tightness.

- D-panthenol has regenerating properties that help restore the protective functions of the skin.
- Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which removes harmful toxins and free radicals from cells.
- Ceramides and lecithin are an important component of the cell membrane and also contribute to the restoration of the natural water-fat film.
- Glycerin has a nourishing and moisturizing effect, eliminating the first signs of aging.
- Amino acids restore the structure of connective tissue and also promote the production of collagen, which is responsible for the tone and elasticity of dry skin.
"Bepanten" to soften delicate hand skin
Hands are exposed to negative influences every day. Difficult weather conditions and aggressive detergents thoroughly dry out delicate skin and cause the dermis in this area to age much faster.

In this situation, Bepanten is a real salvation for dehydrated, inflamed or chapped skin of the hands. After all, the cream not only restores the healthy appearance of the skin, but also rejuvenates the hands better than specialized formulations and protects them from harmful factors.
In order to restore the beauty of your hands, apply Bepanten at night, before going outside or before starting household work. The product is instantly absorbed and does not leave greasy marks on clothes.
Instructions for use
The instructions for use state that to achieve maximum moisturizing effect, Bepanten Derma cream is applied to cleansed facial skin, avoiding the eye and lip area.
If necessary, apply another layer of product. In the cold autumn-winter period, the pharmaceutical product will be an excellent alternative to heavy, greasy creams that cause clogging of pores. At the same time, the light consistency of the product will be appropriate even in summer, when the scorching sun and hot heat negatively affect the condition of the sensitive epidermis. Indications for ointment use.
For wrinkles
The first signs of aging may appear not only due to age-related changes in the body. Bad habits, temperature changes or lack of water - all these factors affect the appearance of the dermis. Unlike oily and combination skin, dry skin types are most susceptible to the early appearance of facial wrinkles.
In this case, Bepanthen Derma, thanks to its moisturizing and nourishing properties, can be compared in action to cosmetic creams created specifically to get rid of wrinkles. If you believe numerous reviews, the pharmaceutical product gives dry skin a feeling of comfort, restores elasticity to the fading epidermis, and most importantly, smoothes out fine expression wrinkles. You can find out about the best anti-wrinkle creams in the article.
Unfortunately, the cream will not be able to eliminate serious age-related changes, such as deep nasolabial folds, glabellar wrinkles or irregularities in the oval of the face. However, it will be able to prevent deterioration and cope with fine wrinkles.
For the best effect, it is recommended to use the product twice during the day: in the morning and before bed.
For acne and irritated skin
In addition to the pronounced moisturizing effect, Bepanten Derma cream helps eliminate minor rashes and pimples and relieves irritation. And yet, the product is unlikely to be able to cope with serious skin imperfections, such as acne or blackheads.
For these purposes, it is necessary to place emphasis on proper cleansing of the skin from accumulated impurities and removal of the stratum corneum of the epithelium using special cleansing agents. In this case, Bepanthen is suitable for the final stage of care for sensitive skin.
In addition, the product copes well with red spots formed as a result of acne healing. It is enough to apply a thin layer of cream to areas with post-acne, and then, if necessary, repeat the application process again. You can find out about the best masks for acne by following the link.
The active components included in Bepanten cream restore the barrier layer of the dermis, thereby increasing the protective functions of the skin after cleansing.
For dry skin
The main symptoms of dry facial skin are constant dryness and flaking of the skin. Such consequences can occur as a result of improper care, abuse of bad habits, as well as due to the harmful effects of sunlight, cold or wind. As a result, the skin loses its former elasticity and early signs of aging appear.
Bepanthen, developed on the basis of D-panthenol, is able to protect the sensitive epidermis from the harmful effects of the environment. You just need to apply a thin layer of the product 30 minutes before leaving the house.
If you additionally use another face cream, then you should first use it, and then after 10-20 minutes apply the next layer of Bepanthen.
For dermatitis
Dermatitis is an inflammatory reaction of the skin that can be triggered by various mechanical, chemical or physical factors.
Therapy for this disease includes the use of a whole range of special agents aimed at eliminating itching and redness. Bepanten Derma cream has a pronounced regenerating effect, due to which wounds and microcracks heal. In addition, the amino acids and vitamin E included in the composition have an antiseptic effect, which promotes safe healing of the upper layers of the dermis. This is a very important factor among creams for atopic skin. The product is applied to the affected areas of the skin in the morning and evening for two weeks.
Is it possible to use Bepanten for acne?
As mentioned above, the cream is suitable for dry skin. When applied to oily dermis, the drug can contribute to clogging of inflamed pores.
But the product can be applied pointwise to affected areas or used to restore skin after cleansing and exfoliating masks. For the treatment of acne, Bepanten Plus, which contains the antibacterial component chlorhexidine, is more suitable.
The drug has virtually no contraindications and is suitable for babies over 1 month of age, pregnant and nursing mothers. However, if you are individually intolerant to dexpanthenol, you will have to abandon this remedy.
The effectiveness of the product: the opinion of cosmetologists
Products based on provitamin B5 have a light consistency and do not form a greasy film on the skin. This effect is achieved through the use of Nanosorb technology, which is based on the introduction of hygroscopic components into the cream. Microparticles easily penetrate deep into the structure of the skin, providing reliable hydration of epithelial cells.
Cosmetologists note that regular use of the product has a visible rejuvenating effect. In addition, the product contains no substances that cause clogging of pores.
