Natural Skin Barrier Reparative Oil

For Dry, Compromised Skin

Description

pHformula SOS Rescue Oil is an essence that helps restore the skin when barrier function is impaired and infuses the skin with a healthy glow and youthfulness. Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin that is dry and dehydrated.

Key ingredients include Argan Oil to help restore the lipid layer of the skin and preserve skin cell integrity. Sweet Almond Oil is rich in Vitamin E and is a good emollient with moisturising, healing and antioxidant properties. Jojoba, Sesame, and Olive oils contain essential fatty acids to moisturise and hydrate very dry skin. Botanical Extracts encourage healing of the skin and prevent free radical damage. Peptides help soften wrinkles and expression lines. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: pHformula SOS Rescue Oil helps compromised skin regain skin barrier function by helping to restore the hydro-lipidic film. It is deeply nourishing and soothing on skin that lacks moisture. It is a dual-phase oil – a unique combination of oil and water – and does need to be shaken well before applying. A bonus is that it can be massaged into hair, cuticles and other dry areas of the body like elbows and knees.

    Love this product, especially after a resurfacing peel. Definitely does put some tic back into your skin.

    Another favorite to add to my Dermastore list. Not only does pH formula SOS oil smell ‘delicious ‘ , but it really does rescue your skin. Easily absorbed and any excess on your hands massage into your cuticles. A winner all round.
