Eucerin pH5 Light Texture Lotion

The skin has a natural protective barrier with an acidic pH, also known as the acid mantle. This is crucial for skin health as it neutralizes alkaline substances that come into contact with the skin, such as alkaline soaps. It also plays an important role in the skin's metabolic processes and the skin's own microbiome. An increase in pH can impair the barrier function, leading to increased transepidermal water loss and increased sensitivity to external stimuli.
The Eucerin pH-Balance System includes pH5 citrate buffer, which helps to restore and maintain the skin's optimal pH. This helps to strengthen the skin's barrier function, protect its natural defense mechanisms, and make the skin less sensitive.

Dexpanthenol, also known as panthenol or provitamin B5, is a biologically active precursor of pantothenic acid, which is an essential component of coenzyme A, crucial for cell metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production. Dexpanthenol also has skin-regenerating and moisturizing properties.
The main benefits are:

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