NeoStrata® Bionic Face Cream is an advanced, ultra emollient corrective cream that provides intense hydration without irritation and helps to restore the skin barrier function of reactive or irritated skin. It is very popular as a post-procedure moisturiser as it is occlusive and locks in moisture to protect and hydrate red, irritated and vulnerable skin. Caution should be exercised with oily skin as it could cause congestion. Suitable for dry, sensitive and rosacea-prone skins but can be used by anyone with a compromised skin barrier.
Key ingredients include a blend of Gluconolactone, a Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) and Lactobionic Acid, a Bionic acid which restores the skin’s protective barrier with the added benefits of gentle exfoliation and an overall improvement in signs of ageing and skin health. It also contains an antioxidant Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) to protect the skin from free radicals. Fragrance-free. Dye-free. Paraben-free. Hypoallergenic.
Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® Bionic Face Cream is a rich cream suitable for extremely dry or compromised skin where there is an increase in transepidermal water loss. This usually occurs after irritant or allergic dermatitis or post-aesthetic treatments when the skin barrier is temporarily disrupted, causing sensitivity and dehydration. It can also be used over a retinol product. The non-irritating combination of a PHA+Bionic acid strongly attracts and binds to water, producing a natural gel matrix that helps to plump and hydrate the skin with its humectant properties. It can also be used as a corrective night cream during the cold, dry months when normal skin becomes dry and sensitive (especially in the northern climates of South Africa). It cannot be used with a makeup foundation, as it has a tendency to ‘roll’ off the skin due to its rich formulation.
