CELL RENEWAL
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and its overall function is covering and protecting the underlying tissues and organs.
Cell renewal mainly affects the cells of the epidermis. These cells are born in the Basal Layer (the skin’s deepest layer) and eventually reach the end of their life cycle at the Stratum Corneum (the outermost layer) where they die off and are replaced with new cells.
Ideally, this process takes 28 days, but ageing and environmental factors gradually slow down cell renewal. This leads to several common skin concerns: thickening, dulling, wrinkles, and imperfections.
DERMO28’s proprietary blends contain active ingredients, both exfoliating and moisturizing, designed to help effectively speed up skin cell renewal skin at any age ad for all skin types.
Hydration and PH Balance
For healthy, youthful-looking skin, it’s extremely important to promote proper cell turnover.
Other priorities: optimal hydration and maintaining skin’s pH balance. Dehydration, which leads to premature ageing, can also weaken skin’s defences. In order to provide organs with a protective barrier against external agents, the skin’s hydrolipidic layer (composed mainly of water and sebum) plays an essential role. Proper hydration is necessary in keeping the hydrolipidic layer active.
Additionally, our pH levels (optimal is between 4.5 and 5.5) have to do with the body’s level of acidity. When our pH levels are balanced, our skin is more equipped to prevent bacterial proliferation and inflammation.
A balanced pH level also makes skin more receptive to active ingredients in cosmetic products and professional treatments.
DERMO28’s goals are twofold: to restore skin’s hydration, and achieve optimally balanced pH levels.
The pH is measured with a scale of values that goes from 0 to 14: from 0 to 6 it is considered acid, 7 neutral and from 8 to 14 basic.
The optimal skin pH should be between 4.5 and 5.5, so that the right level of acidity protects the skin from bacterial proliferation and inflammation.
Maintaining the correct pH level is also essential to make the skin more receptive to the active ingredients conveyed by cosmetic products and professional treatments.
DERMO28 therefore has both the objective of restoring correct hydration to all skin types, and of rebalancing the skin pH. Precisely for this purpose, the DERMO28 laboratories have created two exclusive products, Acid Cream and pH Regulator, the combined use of which re-acidifies and maintains the correct pH of the skin.
Dermo28 Systems
DERMO28 Proprietary System offer specific and customised solutions for every skin concern.
Our Systems, innovative functional complexes with several active ingredients, have been clinically formulated to treat the most common skin concerns.
Dehydration
Moisture is at the root of beautiful and healthy skin. Skin cells sustain their vital functions with the proper hydration. We created a series of unique systems specifically designed to hydrate skin cells, which helps slow the ageing process.
Aqua-System® – one of the most advanced systems that scientific research in the dermocosmetic eld can offer; an extremely moisturising treatment, protective and strengthening for our skin’s natural defences.
Youth System® – thanks to the synergy of specific active ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid, this system maintains the skin’s correct level of hydration and prevents premature ageing.
The study, conducted by the University of L'Aquila, highlighted a significant increase in hydration and nourishment after 4 weeks at the same time as a decrease in pH which reached the optimal level of acidity.

Aging
Environmental pollution, the passage of time and hormonal changes are the main causes of aging. In addition to creating harmful free radicals, they induce a slowdown in cell turnover with consequent dehydration, skin thickening and loss of tone.
To combat the signs of environmental, chronological and hormonal ageing, the following have been developed:
NutriAge-System® – synergy of natural active ingredients such as Plant Stem Cells, Bio-elements from Yeast, Bud extracts from Wild Fagus and Vitamin C with revitalizing, stimulating and elasticising properties, deeply nourishes and hydrates counteracting the signs of aging.
Unica-System® – thanks to a precious complex of trace elements, it offers the most innovative and effective global program against skin ageing, combating all its aspects.
The study, conducted by the University of L'Aquila, highlighted in just 4 weeks a signi cant reduction in the depth of wrinkles (MFWS - Modi and Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale), as well as a rebalancing of the pH and a considerable increase in hydration and nourishment.

Hyperpigmentation
Excessive sun exposure and hormonal changes are the main causes of the alteration of melanocytes. These cells present in the dermis are responsible for the production of Melanin. The alteration of melanocytes and the consequent anomalous production of Melanin, leads to the onset of skin discolouration.
To minimize the appearance of these skin problems we have studied:
Illumina-System® – synergy of antioxidant and depigmenting active ingredients such as Vitamin C, prevents and counteracts hyperpigmentation and skin aging, stimulating the production of new Collagen.
Sensitivity
Dehydration, redness, capillary fragility and irritations are the typical characteristics of sensitive skin which, for these reasons, needs more attention.
To best take care of reactive skin prone to allergies and intolerances, we have developed:
Comfort-System® – synergy of moisturizing and calming active ingredients such as Calendula Officinalis and Argan Oil, it is indispensable as a soothing, anti-redness and protective treatment of inflamed skin.
The study, conducted by the University of L'Aquila, highlighted in just 4 weeks a signi cant reduction of the Erythema factor (sensitivity and localized redness), as well as a rebalancing of the pH and a considerable increase in hydration and nourishment.

Acne
Stress, hormonal changes, incorrect diet and genetic predisposition are the main causes of skin impurities and its consequent inflammation. The abnormal stimulation of the sebaceous glands gives rise to the characteristic imperfections of impure skin, from the most common comedones to the onset of papules and pustules.
To normalize sebum production and treat all acne-prone skin blemishes, we have created:
Pura-System® – synergy of specific active ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and Aloe Vera, performs an effective purifying action on imperfections and soothing inflammation, for fresh, pure and hydrated skin.
