Eucerin pH5 Lotion 250ml

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 plays a crucial role in cell metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production. In addition, dexpanthenol has a regenerating and moisturizing effect on the skin.
The most important benefits include:

• Skin hydration and support of the skin barrier: Panthenol promotes moisture retention in the uppermost skin layers, strengthens the skin's barrier function and reduces transepidermal water loss.
• Regeneration and wound healing: Panthenol stimulates epithelization, accelerates skin regeneration and promotes wound healing, while also soothing skin irritations.
• Anti-inflammatory and soothing properties: Reduces redness, roughness and flaking by soothing inflammatory reactions, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive and irritated skin.

The skin has a natural barrier with an acidic pH, also known as the acid mantle. This contributes to skin health by neutralizing alkaline substances that come into contact with the skin, such as alkaline soaps. It is important for the skin's own metabolic processes and the microbiome. An increase in pH can impair the barrier function, which can lead to increased transepidermal water loss and increased sensitivity to external influences.
The Eucerin pH-Balance System contains pH5 citrate buffer to restore and maintain the skin's optimal pH level. This helps to strengthen the skin's barrier function, protect its natural defense mechanisms and reduce skin sensitivity.

Application

For comprehensive protection and velvety soft skin, Eucerin pH5 Lotion should be applied daily.
