dermaviduals® - the products
dermaviduals® products are based on the principle of corneotherapy.
They are neither based on the rules of natural cosmetics nor are they exclusively organic, nor do they follow the marketing strategies of glamour cosmetics.
dermaviduals® does not follow any "hype" or trend at all, but takes the time for precise research and product development. The result is products with ingredients of the purest quality that have been intensively tested, are constantly being developed and optimised and have proven themselves beneficial for the skin over many years.
dermaviduals® uses “airless” dispensers, so they don't need to add any preservatives as there is no possibility for contamination of the products once in use.
What is cornetherapy
Corneotherapy describes itself as a link between dermatology (skin treatment) and cosmetics. It is a cosmetic treatment that is based on the physiology and chemical structure of the epidermis. This means that the products contain the same substances that the skin itself produces and the structure of the cream is lamellar, i.e. layered, just like the skin. This structure supports the skin in its natural barrier function and ensures intact and healthy skin.
These are therefore not emulsions like commercially available products and accordingly no emulsifiers are used, which bind fats to water or water to fats and can thus dry out the skin under certain circumstances and disrupt the skin's barrier function.
More or less all potential allergens or substances that irritate the skin function and that can penetrate the skin under certain circumstances (as described below) are avoided, such as dyes, fragrances, preservatives, etc.
In addition, no mineral oils or silicones are used. Although these give the skin a nice feeling because they make the skin very smooth, they have an occlusive effect, i.e. they seal the skin. This seal means that water is temporarily retained in the skin, thus preventing the so-called transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and the skin looks plumper because it swells up a little under the layer. However, this water loss is accelerated when the skin is cleaned and then leads to an extreme feeling of dryness, which creates a dependency on the cream. The skin's feeling is therefore impaired in the long term and you can no longer be without cream and the skin becomes increasingly dry.
The base creams have a skin-like composition and consist of fats - triglycerides, phytosterols (from shea butter), squalane, fatty acids, hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (PC), which was also known as lecithin for a long time, and ceramides.
They are available in different consistencies:
DMS-Basis Classic for normal to oily skin
DMS-Basis High Classic for normal to dry skin
DMS-Basis High Classic Plus for very dry and sensitive skin
In addition, there is a base gel for very oily skin or very hot seasons, which is cooling and moisturizing but does not contain any fat.
This means that these products are very well tolerated and can be used to support a variety of skin problems, but are also suitable for anyone who wants to keep their skin intact and healthy.
The modular system - Applied corneotherapy
Dermaviduals® also uses active ingredients that can be transported into the deeper layers of the skin using liposomes and nanodispersions. The basis for this approach are the base creams, which promotes an intact skin barrier and can also quickly restore it.
It is highly recommended that if you use active constituents that you consistently and exclusively use dermaviduals® products so that the treatment stays within the system. This way we can ensure the optimal function of all active ingredients.
If you don't want to intervene so deeply in the skin or use dermaviduals® in combination with other products, you can achieve a wonderful complexion with any of the base creams and in addition have a variety of products to choose from that can be used individually or in combination.
