CLINICAL STUDIES:

Clinical studies performed by Stephens & Associates, an independent clinical research laboratory, compared Epionce Medical Barrier Cream to a leading competitor in ‘split-face’ tests (one cream on one side of the face, the other cream on the other side). Medical Barrier Cream showed greater improvement in the speed and completeness of healing of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, than the competitor.

    What is trans-epidermal water loss?

    Your epidermis is the outermost of the three main layers in the skin; under the epidermis lies the dermis; and beneath the dermis is the hypodermis, also called the subcutaneous layer. Trans-epidermal water loss, or TEWL, simply means water evaporating from the dermis, through the epidermis, and into the environment. This evaporation is natural, and your skin normally retains enough moisture to stay hydrated and plump. But if your skin barrier is compromised, TEWL can increase and dry out your skin. 

     

    Why might my skin need extra antioxidants?

    Your skin might need extra antioxidants to counteract free radicals and prevent damage occurring. Free radicals, molecules that have unpaired electrons, are highly reactive and can damage your skin, leading to more wrinkles and less skin elasticity. Your body naturally produces antioxidants as part of its defence mechanism against free radicals, but if this defence mechanism is compromised, getting extra antioxidants from your diet or from cosmetic products can be helpful.

     

    What is the skin barrier?

    The skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin. It forms a barrier between the inside of your body and the world outside, keeping pollutants and microbes out and keeping moisture in.
