Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Cream for normal to combination skin is a refreshing moisturizer for the face, which strengthens the skin's own moisturizing system and makes the skin soft, smooth and shiny. Skin needs water to function well. Well-hydrated skin is smooth, soft and has a beautiful glow. When the skin's natural protective barrier is broken, it loses moisture and becomes dehydrated. Dehydrated skin lacks shine, is tight and cannot resist external irritants. As a result it becomes sensitive. Intense and long-lasting hydration is necessary to keep it looking and feeling great. Most moisturizers improve skin hydration by limiting water evaporation from the skin and/or locking in moisture in the upper layers with humectants such as glycerin. The skin has its own moisturizing system - aquaporins. They transport water between skin cells and support hydration from within. Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE increases the natural strength of aquaporins. The formula contains gluco-glycerol, an exceptional moisturizing ingredient that has been proven to increase the number of aquaporin channels in the skin. This means that in addition to limiting evaporation and retaining water in the outer layers of the skin, Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE also strengthens the skin's own moisturizing system. The light and refreshing texture of Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE for normal to combination skin provides intensive 24-hour hydration and is easily absorbed. It soothes the feeling of tightness and makes the skin smooth and soft. Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE is clinically and dermatologically proven to be compatible with sensitive skin and contains no fragrance or parabens.
