Eucerin pH5 Cream

The skin has a natural protective barrier with an acidic pH, which is why it is also called the acid mantle. This is important for skin health as it neutralizes alkaline substances that come into contact with the skin, such as alkaline soaps. It also plays a crucial role in the skin's metabolic processes and the skin's own microbiome. If the skin's pH value rises, the barrier function can be impaired, which can lead to increased transepidermal water loss and greater sensitivity to external influences.
The Eucerin pH Balance System includes pH5 citrate buffers that help restore and maintain the skin's optimal pH value. This strengthens the skin's barrier function, protects its natural defense mechanisms, and makes the skin less vulnerable.

Dexpanthenol, also known as panthenol or provitamin B5, is a biologically active precursor of pantothenic acid, which is an important component of coenzyme A. This coenzyme is crucial for cell metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production. In addition, dexpanthenol has a regenerating and moisturizing effect on the skin.
The main benefits are:

• Skin moisture and support of the skin barrier: Panthenol improves moisture retention in the upper skin layers, strengthens the skin barrier, and minimizes transepidermal water loss.
• Regeneration and wound healing: Panthenol promotes epithelization, accelerates skin regeneration, and supports the healing process of wounds, while also soothing irritation.
• Anti-inflammatory and soothing properties: It reduces redness, dryness, and flaking by alleviating inflammatory reactions, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive and irritated skin.
