Along with pure and active ingredients, the dermaviduals Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) is a unique blend of physiological ingredients that mimic the structure and function of the skin’s permeable barrier. It allows for replenishment and rebuilding of the skin’s first lines of defence, which can be damaged by a variety of internal and external challenges. A main component of our DMS is Phosphatidylcholine that contains skin repairing benefits and also allows for deeper penetration of actives, which provides the basis of our delivery system of Liposomes and Nanoparticles.
WHAT IS CORNEOTHERAPY?
Central to the philosophy of dermaviduals is Corneotherapy – the science of maintaining and restoring healthy skin.
Corneotherapy is aimed at the recovery of the stratum corneum, but above all it improves the function of the skin barrier and subsequently the overall homeostasis of the skin. At the core of Corneotherapy are the principles of recovery and repair. At dermaviduals, we believe that a well-functioning and intact stratum corneum provides the fundamental building blocks for a functioning and wellbalanced skin. For a long time, the stratum corneum was considered a ‘conglomeration of dead skin cells’. However, through years of tireless research, it has been proven that this functional layer of skin is ‘alive’ and able to self-renew and repair whilst communicating with the lower layers of the epidermis and dermis. So, why would one want to peel or abrade the stratum corneum? It just doesn’t make sense!
