CFC:9 Multi-lipid Replenishment
The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, acts as an effective physical barrier that protects the skin from environmental hazards, ultraviolet radiation, pollution, infections, toxic chemicals and mechanical damage.
The stratum corneum is made up of flattened corneocytes surrounded by multi-lamellar lipid membranes that are composed of cholesterol, free fatty acids, and ceramides. Skin lipids play a key role in maintaining and repairing a strong skin barrier, which retains moisture and protects against damaging stressors, resulting in healthy, youthful skin.
As we age, the skin’s natural lipid production decreases, leading to visible signs of skin aging such as dryness, wrinkles, rough complexion and lack of radiance. Lipid depletion compromises the effectiveness of the barrier function, making it easier for stressors to damage the skin, weakening it and making it duller.
To speed up skin recovery, it is essential to replenish lost skin lipids. This way, the skin will remain hydrated, protected and strong.
CFC:9 Multi-lipid Replenishment (2% ceramides + 3% fatty acids + 4% cholesterol) is a concentrate of lipids identical to those found naturally in the skin, which mimics the structure of the skin barrier, reconstructing the architecture of the stratum corneum.
Helps restore the skin’s protective barrier structure by filling gaps in the lipid bilayer with ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, identical to those found in the skin. Topical application reinforces the natural lipid barrier of dry, sensitive or aging skin against moisture loss and external challenges, restoring the skin’s vitality and youthfulness, and increasing its luminosity and radiance.
CFC:9 Multi-lipid Replenishment has the power to replenish and restore the skin’s lipid structure, accelerating its recovery, hydration and protection. Its application is essential after a professional depigmenting treatment, peeling, laser… where the skin needs to recover its level of hydration, elasticity and smoothness.
