Key Features:

• Clinically shown to be very effective in providing long-lasting (>48 hrs.) and controlled skin hydration.
• The beneficial effects on the skin can be explained by the up-regulation of AQP3, CD44 (hyaluronic acid receptor) and tight junction genes, decrease of which is associated with a defective osmotic equilibrium in the epidermis and dryness of chronically and photoaged skin.
• It stimulates ceramide synthase 3, key enzyme responsible for Ceramide boosting.
• DOI has unique anti-inflammatory properties, works by inhibiting TRPA1, TSLP, TRPV3, IL1β and TNFα pathways.
