Crème Masque Vernix is a unique product in terms of its composition. It protects, regenerates and revitalises the epidermis.
The Crème Masque Vernix reconditions and gives a “second birth” to the epidermis. Inspired by the protective layer on baby’s skin at birth, this cream-mask mimics the original composition of vernix thanks to a selection of active ingredients rich in lipids, proteins and antioxidant peptides.
After using the recommended Lait and Lotion P50, apply a thin layer (a small amount) to the entire face, neck and décolleté, in the morning and/or evening. Apply gently with fingertips, working from bottom to top and from the inside outward, until fully absorbed.
To use as a mask, apply a thick layer. Leave on for around 10 minutes and gently remove excess product with a moistened cotton pad.
Luffa Oil: Luffa (Luffa Cylindrica) belongs to the cucurbit family. This trailing and climbing vine produces a squash with black seeds. The oil is extracted from the luffa seeds by cold pressing. It is characterized by its composition of 72% short-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which 62% are essential fatty acids: 60% linoleic and 2% gamma linoleic. Its fatty acid content is close to that of the stratum corneum. This acid restores the normal lipidic state of lipid-deficient skins and rebuilds the fatty acid profile essential for the lipid barrier. Therefore, it has repairing and nourishing properties.
Placenta Extract: Placental protein is much appreciated in the cosmetic industry for its revitalizing, repairing and toning properties. This active ingredient also helps to reduce skin blemishes and restore radiance to the skin.
Carob Seed Extract: Carob seed extract, from the evergreen tree or shrub ceratonia siliqua, is recommended for use in skin care products intended to repair age-damaged skin. It triggers the natural recovery and reorganization of skin tissue. It also regulates the synthesis of growth factors involved in the skin repair system, activates synthesis of characteristic myofibroblast markers and restores cellular migration potential. Epidermal and dermal reconstruction are therefore accelerated. Thus the extract increases the damaged skin’s ability to repair itself and accelerates recovery of skin tissue that has been under attack, re-establishing the key functions of the epidermis, particularly its barrier function.
Yeast Extract: Yeast is made up of mineral salts, carbohydrates, lipids and vitamins, giving it many beneficial properties. For example, it is very rich in vitamin B, which enables it to help preserve the skin’s integrity. It has a re-balancing effect (for oily or dry skin or scalp) and promotes the healing of certain skin conditions like acne and hyperseborrhea. In addition, this active ingredient stimulates phagocytosis and the formation of lysosomes in the keratinocytes, thereby providing a detoxifying action at cell level which improves the radiance and transparency of the complexion. Moreover, its significant antioxidant effect protects skin from free radicals.
