Eucerin pH5 nourishing shower gel & oil

Dexpanthenol, also known as panthenol or provitamin B5, is a biologically active precursor of pantothenic acid, which is an essential 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 effect on the skin and provides moisture.
The main benefits are:

• Skin hydration and support of the skin protection barrier: Panthenol promotes moisture retention in the uppermost skin layers, strengthens the skin protection barrier, and prevents water loss through the skin.
• Regeneration and wound healing promotion: Panthenol stimulates epithelialization, accelerates skin renewal, and supports wound healing while reducing irritation.
• Anti-inflammatory and soothing properties: It reduces redness, roughness, and flaking by alleviating inflammatory reactions, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive and irritated skin.

Panthenol, also known as dexpanthenol or provitamin B5, is a derivative of vitamin B5. This active ingredient is excellent for soothing irritated skin, as it repairs the natural skin barrier and supports regeneration. Due to its ability to attract and retain water in the skin, panthenol acts as an extremely effective moisturizer.

Citrate Buffer

The skin has a natural barrier with an acidic pH, also known as the acid mantle. This plays an important role in skin health, as it neutralizes alkaline substances that come into contact with the skin, such as alkaline soaps, and is important for the skin's own metabolic processes and its microbiome. An increase in pH can impair barrier function and increase the risk of increased transepidermal water loss and increased sensitivity to external stimuli.
The Eucerin pH Balance System contains pH5 citrate buffers that help restore and support the skin's optimal pH. This strengthens the skin barrier, protects its natural defenses, and makes the skin less vulnerable.
