Here’s one interesting fact about very dry skin condition by Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Consulting Dermatologist that is worth reading 😉

“Very dry skin, sometimes called xeroderma or asteatosis, is a common skin condition. It is characterized by a lack of the appropriate amount of water and lipids retained in the superficial layers of the skin.  Skin suffering from dehydration struggles to preserve optimal moisture reserves. What very dry skin needs is not simply any old heavy moisturizer – it needs an effective one that penetrates well and integrates into the stratum corneum to deliver moisture continuously throughout the day and night. Many products on the market are thick and occlusive and, even to those with the driest skin, can feel and look greasy, yet thy hydration they provide is limited and still requires reapplication throughout the day” shares Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Consulting Dermatologist.  “What excites me most about this product is that it gives my patients and Kiehl’s customers with dry skin a solution — to moisturize intelligently and elegantly, not just to moisturize more.”

Kiehl’s chemists selected a potent combination of powerful skin hydrating ingredients and infused them into an advanced, feather-weight cream architecture to create Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration.

Enriched Hyaluronic Acid is a co-encapsulation of two complementary hydrating molecules. The formula helps to increase water capture in the outermost layer of the epidermis to help “fill in the cracks” where symptoms of dry skin are most visible.

• Hyaluronic Acid: This ingredient can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water and is a highly effective humectant that draws in moisture to keep skin hydrated.
• Biomimetic Hydrator: This biocompatible structure, similar to the structure of the phospholipids found in the human cellular membranes, helps seal in moisture. This hydrating ingredient is also known to be used in the medical world in soft eye lens technology to keep lenses hydrated, even in low humidity conditions.

Refined Apricot Oil, an ingredient highly compatible with skin, is a refined fruit oil that contains Omegas 3, 6, and 9 as well as essential fatty acids.  The formula, with Refined Apricot Oil, helps condition and soften the skin to reduce visible dryness and flakiness.
